Using life history to predict outcomes of conservation translocations of herpetofauna

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We collected data on key life history traits for all herpetofauna profiled in the IUCN Global Conservation Translocation Perspectives series to examine how life history can predict outcomes and difficulties of conservation translocations. The relationships we found provide important insights for conservation practitioners that can be used in the ...

High‐throughput screen identifies MAS9 as a novel inhibitor of the C‐type lectin receptor‐2 (CLEC‐2)–podoplanin interaction

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose The C‐type lectin‐like receptor‐2 (CLEC‐2) is a platelet receptor for the endogenous ligand podoplanin. This interaction contributes to several (patho)physiological processes, such as lymphangiogenesis, preservation of blood and lymphatic vessel integrity organ development, and tumour metastasis.
