Bioengineering Novel in vitro Co-culture Models That Represent the Human Intestinal Mucosa With Improved Caco-2 Structure and Barrier Function. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 8, Article 992. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2020.00992

The Caco-2 monolayer is the most widely used in vitro model of the human intestinal mucosa to study absorption. However, models lack communication from other cells present in the native intestine, such as signals from fibroblasts in the lamina propri...

Connections in the cambium, receptors in the ring (2020)
Journal Article
Bagdassarian, K. S., Brown, C. M., Jones, E. T., & Etchells, P. (2020). Connections in the cambium, receptors in the ring. Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 57, 96-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbi.2020.07.001

In plants, pluripotent cells in meristems divide to provide cells for the formation of postembryonic tissues. The cambium is the meristem from which the vascular tissue is derived and is the main driver for secondary (radial) growth in dicots. Xylem...

The late Quaternary paleorecord, within the past ∼130,000 years, can help to inform present-day management of the Earth's ecosystems and biota under climate change. Fordham et al. review when and where rapid climate transitions can be found in the pa... Read More about Using paleo-archives to safeguard biodiversity under climate change.

A greener vision for vector control: The example of the Singapore dengue control programme (2020)
Journal Article
Sim, S., Ng, L. C., Lindsay, S. W., & Wilson, A. L. (2020). A greener vision for vector control: The example of the Singapore dengue control programme. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 14(8), Article e0008428. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0008428

Vector-borne diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Aedes-borne diseases, in particular, including dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika, are increasing at an alarming rate due to urbanisation, population movement, wea...
