The Immune System of Marine Organisms as Source for Drugs against Infectious Diseases (2022)
Journal Article
Falco, A., Adamek, M., Pereiro, P., Hoole, D., Encinar, J., Novoa, B., & Mallavia, R. (2022). The Immune System of Marine Organisms as Source for Drugs against Infectious Diseases. Marine Drugs, 20(6), Article 363. https://doi.org/10.3390/md20060363

The high proliferation of microorganisms in aquatic environments has allowed their coevolution for billions of years with other living beings that also inhabit these niches. Among the different existing types of interaction, the eternal competition f... Read More about The Immune System of Marine Organisms as Source for Drugs against Infectious Diseases.

Analysis of protein-heparin interactions using a portable SPR instrument (2022)
Journal Article
Su, D., Li, Y., Yates, E., Skidmore, M., Andrade De Lima, M., & Fernig, D. (2022). Analysis of protein-heparin interactions using a portable SPR instrument. PeerJ Analytical Chemistry, 4, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj-achem.15

<jats:p>Optical biosensors such as those based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) are a key analytical tool for understanding biomolecular interactions and function as well as the quantitative analysis of analytes in a wide variety of settings. The a... Read More about Analysis of protein-heparin interactions using a portable SPR instrument.

Standardised bioassays reveal that mosquitoes learn to avoid compounds used in chemical vector control after a single sub-lethal exposure. (2022)
Journal Article
Sougoufara, S., Yorkston-Dives, H., Masyirah Aklee, N., Che Rus, A., Zairi, J., & Tripet, F. (2022). Standardised bioassays reveal that mosquitoes learn to avoid compounds used in chemical vector control after a single sub-lethal exposure. Scientific reports, 2206 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-05754-2

Vector-borne diseases are worldwide public health issues. Despite research focused on vectorial capacity determinants in pathogen transmitting mosquitoes, their behavioural plasticity remains poorly understood. Memory and associative learning have be...

MASTREE+: time-series of plant reproductive effort from six continents. (2022)
Journal Article
(2022). MASTREE+: time-series of plant reproductive effort from six continents. Global Change Biology, 3066-3082. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16130

Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to environmental change. This is partly because measuring reproduction in long-lived plants requires direct observation over many years and such datasets have rarely been mad...
