The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.

Multimodal approach to characterize surgically removed epileptogenic zone from patients with focal drug‐resistant epilepsy: From operating room to wet lab

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We have established a comprehensive sample handling protocol designed for the multiscale assessment of epileptogenic tissue. This protocol aims to identify novel therapeutic targets and enhance the diagnosis and stratification of patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy, thereby optimizing their treatment with anti‐seizure medications ...

Faecal Microbiota Transplantation in Anorexia Nervosa: A Systematic Review of Methodologies, Outcomes, and Challenges With Recommendations for Future Studies

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder displaying an altered gut microbiome. Faecal microbiome transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a powerful research tool and potential treatment option in AN due to the microbiome‐gut‐brain axis. Current studies are limited and reveal variable FMT protocols.
