A modular, reusable biocatalytic flow system for UDP-GlcNAc production (2025)
Journal Article
Roberts, T. L., Dolan, J. P., Miller, G. J., Lima, M. A. D., & Cosgrove, S. C. (2025). A modular, reusable biocatalytic flow system for UDP-GlcNAc production. Reaction Chemistry and Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1039/d5re00127g

We report here the continuous flow synthesis of a high-value sugar nucleotide. Immobilisation of enzymes onto solid carriers permitted transfer of the biocatalysts into packed bed reactors to realise a continuous biocatalytic platform for the synthes...

Crystal structures of human SP-D complexed with synthetic oligosaccharides suggest a role for phosphorylated inner core LPS saccharides in host-pathogen interactions (2025)
Preprint / Working Paper
Williams, H. M., Watson, A., Madsen, J., Clark, H. W., Hood, D. W., Oscarson, S., Greenhough, T. J., & Shrive, A. K. (2025). Crystal structures of human SP-D complexed with synthetic oligosaccharides suggest a role for phosphorylated inner core LPS saccharides in host-pathogen interactions

The innate immune protein human surfactant protein D (SP-D) recognises pathogens in the lungs via binding to carbohydrate surface structures. SP-D has been shown to target gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide via calcium-dependent binding, pref...

Not All Butterflies Are Monarchs: Compass Systems in the Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta), a European Diurnal Migrant (2025)
Preprint / Working Paper
Pakhomov, A., Shapoval, N., Shapoval, A., & Kishkinev, D. (2025). Not All Butterflies Are Monarchs: Compass Systems in the Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta), a European Diurnal Migrant

Seasonal migration in animals is a widespread and complex phenomenon, yet the mechanisms underlying orientation and navigation remain poorly understood in many taxa. While significant progress has been made in migratory birds, where multiple compass...

Science of the Total Environment, 981, Article 179478. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2025.179478

Indoor radon exposure is a significant public health concern, as it is the second leading cause of lung cancer globally. This systematic review evaluated radon concentrations and associated health risks in Nigerian buildings, including homes, schools...

Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 34(5), Article e70021. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.70021

Aim: The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lac... Read More about Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms.

Improvement of water quality for mass anopheline rearing: dynamics of larval tray bacterial communities under different water treatments revealed by 16S ribosomal RNA amplicon sequencing (2025)
Journal Article
Akpodiete, N. O., Carlos, B., Voges, K., Nunes, B. T., Souza-Neto, J. A., Noulin, F., Tonge, D., Zuharah, W. F., & Tripet, F. (2025).

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 136(5), Article lxaf110. https://doi.org/10.1093/jambio/lxaf110

Background: Immature anophelines inhabit aquatic environments with diverse physicochemical properties and microorganisms. In insectary settings, ammonia accumulation in larval rearing trays can lead to high larval mortality. Bacterial communities in...

Locus and Non-Locus Specific Technical Caveats: An Overview of Their Occurrence in Tilapiine Cichlids Genetic Data and Approaches to Salvage Loci (2025)
Journal Article
Amoussou, T. O., Kareem, N., Soara, A. E., Millogo, V., Filipe, A. F., & Toko, I. I. (2025). Locus and Non-Locus Specific Technical Caveats: An Overview of Their Occurrence in Tilapiine Cichlids Genetic Data and Approaches to Salvage Loci. Aquatic Biology, 9(1), Article GA814. https://doi.org/10.4194/GA814

Many tilapia-related research papers make assumptions in relation to Locus-and Non-Locus-Specific Technical Problems (LTPs) that hinder the reaching of clear genetic monitoring conclusions. Since LTPs have implications for decisions related to fisher...
