Cross-country patterns of compositional and structural forest diversity across European regionsNARA Subscribed
Forest diversity is a multidimensional concept comprising different components such as species diversity, functional diversity, structural diversity and genetic diversity. These diverse elements are recognised as being connected to the health and functioning of forest ecosystems and human well-being. However, information on forest diversity at broad spatial scales is scarce. Thus, the primary goal of this study is to quantify...
The elephant in the room is really a cow: using consumption corridors to define sustainable meat consumption in the European UnionNARA Subscribed
Implementing the European Green Deal requires a consistent food systems’ policy that involves not only targeting the supply side but also conducting extensive changes in diets at the consumer level. Reducing meat consumption is an obvious strategy to put the European food system on track to meet the Green Deal’s goals. This cannot be achieved by focusing solely on consumer choice and individual responsibility. Stronger governa...
Purpose Despite persistent bleeding and thrombotic adverse events in patients supported with blood pumps, standardized preclinical assessment of hemocompatibility remains largely restricted to hemolysis testing. To advance the field, robust and comparable in vitro platelet function testing within mock-loop mechanical circulatory support (MCS) studies is needed. This review systematically summarizes current methodologies for pl...
Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
Purpose Vibrational stimulation was suggested sufficient to acutely enhance range of motion (ROM). However, the actual merit of superimposed vibration and underlying mechanical or sensory mechanisms of ROM increases due to local vibration are not well understood. Methods Using a randomized controlled cross-over trial, this study opposed two minutes of stretching + vibration (STV) to vibration (V) and stretching (ST) alone as w...
Relationships between population size and fitness in four common and four rare alpine plant speciesNARA Subscribed
Due to habitat fragmentation and climate change, many plant populations become smaller and more isolated and thus more prone to local extinction. Whereas it is well established for lowland species that plants of small populations have lower individual fitness, alpine species have not been sufficiently studied in this respect. It is also not clear whether relationships between population size and fitness vary between naturally...
Impact of Hedgehog modulators on signaling pathways in primary murine and human hepatocytes in vitro: insights into liver metabolismNARA Subscribed
The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is essential for maintaining homeostasis during embryogenesis and in adult tissues. In the liver, dysregulation of this pathway often leads to liver cancer development. Recent studies also suggest that disturbances in the Hh pathway can affect liver metabolism in healthy livers through interactions with other signaling pathways, such as the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. As a result, the Hh pathway...
