Treatment with Alamandine Reduces Established Pulmonary Fibrosis: Preliminary Histological, Functional, and Biochemical InsightsNARA Subscribed
Introduction Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a challenging interstitial lung disease with limited therapeutic options. This study explores the therapeutic effects of alamandine (ALA), a renin-angiotensin system peptide, in reversing established fibrotic progression in an experimental model. Methods Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups ( n = 5–6/group): control (CO), ALA-treated (ALA), bleomycin-induced fibrosis (BLM), and...
Marine migration influences mercury accumulation in anadromous Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus )NARA Subscribed
Mercury (Hg) is a globally distributed toxic metal present in northern natural environments that biomagnifies in food webs and bioaccumulates in apex predator fish, such as Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus )—an iteroparous species with a circumpolar distribution. Arctic char exhibit a variety of life history types, with the migrating, anadromous life‐history type supporting many subsistence and small‐scale commercial fisheries...
Development of a Community-engaged Research Training Workshop for Clinician-Scientists and Early-stage InvestigatorsNARA Subscribed
Community-engaged research (CEnR), a collaboration between academics and community partners, is an effective approach in addressing the social drivers of health (SDOH) and health disparities in local communities. Yet, CEnR training is often not a standard component of training programs in research or clinical programs. To meet the need for CEnR training, we developed and implemented a workshop to increase CEnR knowledge and sk...
Butternut ( Juglans cinerea L.) is a rapidly declining tree species threatened by Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum (Oc-j), the causal agent of butternut canker. The introduction of Japanese walnut ( Juglans ailantifolia Carrière), which hybridizes with butternut and exhibits greater resistance to the disease, presents both a conservation challenge and a potential avenue for genetic improvement. Identifying non-admixe...
Once regarded primarily as a healthcare‐associated pathogen, Clostridioides difficile has increasingly been reported as a cause of community‐acquired infection, raising questions about the contribution of animal and environmental reservoirs to persistence and transmission. Ribotype 033 (RT033) is predominantly associated with animal and environmental reservoirs, yet key traits underlying its ecology are poorly defined. Here we...
Molecular phylogeny reveals new morphological and ecological insights into the Cyperus margaritaceus–niveus complexNARA Subscribed
The Cyperus margaritaceus–niveus complex (Cyperaceae) is a group of nine C4 Cyperus species ( C. karlschumanii , C. kibweanus , C. ledermannii , C. margaritaceus , C. nduru, C. niveus var. leucocephalus , C. somaliensis , C. sphaerocephalus , and C. tisserantii ) from Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar united by the combination of a capitate inflorescence, white–yellow glumes and swollen bulb-like bases. Previous molecular stud...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
