Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

Mass culture of equine synovial fluid‐derived mesenchymal stromal cells using nonwoven polyethylene terephthalate fabrics

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Culture protocols need to yield 100 million equine synovial fluid (SF)‐derived mesenchymal stromal cells (SF‐MSCs) in around 3 weeks are needed, before these cells can be evaluated as agents of articular repair in clinical trials. Objectives To investigate mass culture of equine SF‐MSC culture protocols using nonwoven polyethylene ...
