Agriculture and the threat to biodiversity in sub-saharan Africa
(2015)The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment identified habitat loss due to the extensive growth of agriculture as the primary driver of biodiversity loss. One implication of this is that agricultural intensification has the potential ... -
LaGomiCs - Lagomorph Genomics Consortium: An International Collaborative Effort for Sequencing the Genomes of an Entire Mammalian Order
(2016)The order Lagomorpha comprises about 90 living species, divided in 2 families: the pikas (Family Ochotonidae), and the rabbits, hares, and jackrabbits (Family Leporidae). Lagomorphs are important economically and scientifically ... -
Microbial Degradation of Organophosphorus Xenobiotics: Metabolic Pathways and Molecular Basis
(2006)Organophosphorus (OP) xenobiotics are used worldwide as pesticides and petroleum additives. OP compounds share the major portion of the pesticide market globally. Owing to large-scale use of OP compounds, contaminations ... -
A specific phospholipase C activity regulates phosphatidylinositol levels in lung surfactant of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
(2010)Lung surfactant (LS) is a lipid-rich material lining the inside of the lungs. It reduces surface tension at the liquid/air interface and thus, it confers protection of the alveoli from collapsing. The surfaceactive component ... -
Transcriptional regulatory networks of the proteasome in mammalian systems
(2022)The tight regulation of proteostasis is essential for physiological cellular function. Mammalian cells possess a network of mechanisms that ensure proteome integrity under normal or stress conditions. The proteasome, being ...
