System Change, Not Climate Change

open access: yes, 2022
The latest IPCC reports have concluded that in order to limit warming to 1.5°C, system transformations are urgently needed. But what are system transformations? How can they be enabled? Wouldn’t such system transitions worsen other social and environmental challenges? How can justness be safeguarded during transitions?

Change, rigidity & delay in the UK system of land-use development control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The British system of development control is time-consuming and uncertain in outcome. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly overloaded as it has gradually switched away from being centred on a traditional ‘is it an appropriate land-use?’ type approach to

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Changing systems

open access: yes, 2023
This dissertation explores how we can better understand and influence systems, which are collections of interrelated or interacting elements that are organized in a way to achieve something. Systems are everywhere, from the global economy and natural ecosystems to mental health and the spread of infectious diseases, and they can be understood from ...

The Montado agroforestry system microclimatic specificity in the context of global change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The effects of oak trees on microclimatic parameters in Quercus rotundifolia Lam. woodland in the Alentejo, Southern Portugal, are reported. Results show that oak tree create a marked differentiation in the grass matrix, between open and undercanopy ...

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in
