Screening Host Defense Peptide Libraries for Antibiofilm and/or Immunomodulatory Activities
Systematic assays suitable for use with peptide arrays are described in this protocol to evaluate biological activities associated with host defense peptides (HDPs), such as biofilm inhibition and/or immunomodulatory properties.
Predicting severe COVID-19 using a simple clinical risk score
The combination of clinical and laboratory parameters on admission can accurately predict severe disease amongst COVID-19 patients
A metric for spatially explicit contributions to science-based species targets
We know that there are a great many species at risk of extinction, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of action needed to conserve them. Where do we start tackling the pressures that are threatening these species, and encourage as many sectors as possible to act?
Analysis of the Effects of Spaceflight and Local Administration of Thrombopoietin to a Femoral Defect Injury on Distal Skeletal Sites
Our recently published paper evidences a novel therapeutically approach for bone healing that improves osteogenesis in the absence of mechanical loading.
