Fugitive Junctures: Life‐Seeking, Route‐Finding and the Mobile Ensemble at Kenya's Borders

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Fugitivity has become an important conceptual frame to understand the illegalised mobilities of contemporary migrants in conjunction with enslaved people's historical lines of flight as spatial praxes to seize their own freedom. Thinking from Kenya, and drawing on research with migrants, border officials, activists, police and smugglers,

LyeTxI-b, a Synthetic Peptide Derived From Lycosa erythrognatha Spider Venom, Shows Potent Antibiotic Activity in Vitro and in Vivo

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The antimicrobial peptide LyeTxI isolated from the venom of the spider Lycosa erythrognatha is a potential model to develop new antibiotics against bacteria and fungi.

Assessing signal loss, accuracy, and acceptability of an ambulatory fetal electrocardiography with cardiotocography in the antepartum and intrapartum phases

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 2, Page 327-335, February 2026.
NIFECG has comparable accuracy to CTG for FHR and UC monitoring during the antepartum and intrapartum phases, and is well accepted by women and nurses. Given that 41.1% of NIFECG traces were rejected due to signal loss, further research on improving the technology to reduce signal loss, and re‐evaluating the criteria for rejecting traces is vital to ...

Efficient Enzymatic Ligation of Inhibitor Cystine Knot Spider Venom Peptides: Using Sortase A To Form Double-Knottins That Probe Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel NaV1.7.

Bioconjugate chemistry, 2018
Gating modifier toxins from spider venom are disulfide-rich peptides that typically comprise a stabilizing inhibitor cystine knot (ICK). These knottin peptides are being pursued as therapeutic leads for a range of conditions linked to transmembrane ...

A complex network perspective on brain disease

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 364-399, February 2026.
ABSTRACT If brain anatomy and dynamics have a complex network structure as it has become standard to posit, it is reasonable to assume that such a structure should play a key role not only in brain function but also in brain dysfunction. However, exactly how network structure is implicated in brain damage and whether at least some pathologies can be ...

Highlights in the knowledge of brown spider toxins

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2017
Brown spiders are venomous arthropods that use their venom for predation and defense. In humans, bites of these animals provoke injuries including dermonecrosis with gravitational spread of lesions, hematological abnormalities and impaired renal function.

An Economic Dilemma between Molecular Weapon Systems May Explain an Arachno-Atypical Venom in Wasp Spiders (Argiope bruennichi)

Biomolecules, 2020
Spiders use venom to subdue their prey, but little is known about the diversity of venoms in different spider families. Given the limited data available for orb-weaver spiders (Araneidae), we selected the wasp spider Argiope bruennichi for detailed ...

Gating modifier toxins isolated from spider venom: Modulation of voltage-gated sodium channels and the role of lipid membranes

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
Gating modifier toxins (GMTs) are venom-derived peptides isolated from spiders and other venomous creatures and modulate activity of disease-relevant voltage-gated ion channels and are therefore being pursued as therapeutic leads. The amphipathic surface

Prophetic Promise: The Lineal Return of ‘lopp’d branches’ in Shakespeare’s Cymbeline

Renaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 55-75, February 2026.
Abstract This paper identifies the early‐modern conception of prophecy as a word‐magic performed across generations, a verbal promise that anticipates its own realisation in posterity. Just as Francis Bacon upheld the generative force of prophetic utterances by noting their ‘springing and germinant accomplishment throughout many ages’, Shakespeare’s ...
