Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Aptamer array precisely assembled on DNA origami for potent and reversible anticoagulation in hemodialysis
A structurally well-defined platform is described here to organize thrombin-binding aptamers, enabling the synergistic effects of thrombin recognition and anticoagulation.
Phosphorus deficiencies invoke optimal allocation of exoenzymes by ectomycorrhizas
Our study emphasizes the key role of symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi in phosphorus acquisition. By Dr. Melanie Jones, UBCO and Dr. JM Kranabetter, BC MOF
A Diet-Microbe-Epithelia Metabolic Trilogue in the Stressed Gut
Gut epithelial integrity is dynamically shaped by microbial signals amenable to environmental and psychological modulation. Here we dissect dietary impact on psychological stress-induced gut microbial remodeling and how this is metabolically linked to stem cell proliferation and epithelial renewal.
