Energetic limits: Defining the bounds and trade‐offs of successful energy management in a capital breeder (2020)
Journal Article
Shuert, C. R., Halsey, L. G., Pomeroy, P. P., & Twiss, S. D. (2020). Energetic limits: Defining the bounds and trade‐offs of successful energy management in a capital breeder. Journal of Animal Ecology, 89(11), 2461-2472. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13312

Judicious management of energy can be invaluable for animal survival and reproductive success. Capital breeding mammals typically transfer energy to their young at extremely high rates while undergoing prolonged fasting, making lactation a tremendous...

Assessment of Rusty Blackbird Habitat Occupancy in the Long Range Mountains of Newfoundland, Canada Using Forest Inventory Data (2020)
Journal Article
Manson, K. K., McDermott, J. P., Powell, L. L., Whitaker, D. M., & Warkentin, I. G. (2020). Assessment of Rusty Blackbird Habitat Occupancy in the Long Range Mountains of Newfoundland, Canada Using Forest Inventory Data. Diversity, 12(9), Article 340. https://doi.org/10.3390/d12090340

Rusty blackbirds (Euphagus carolinus), once common across their boreal breeding distribution, have undergone steep, range-wide population declines. Newfoundland is home to what has been described as one of just two known subspecies (E. c. nigrans) an...

Towards understanding the multifaceted role of SUMOylation in plant growth and development (2020)
Journal Article
Srivastava, M., Sadanandom, A., & Srivastava, A. K. (2020). Towards understanding the multifaceted role of SUMOylation in plant growth and development. Physiologia Plantarum, 171(1), 77-85. https://doi.org/10.1111/ppl.13204

Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) play a critical role in regulating plant growth and development through the modulation of protein functionality and its interaction with its partners. Analysis of the functional implication of PTMs on plant cel... Read More about Towards understanding the multifaceted role of SUMOylation in plant growth and development.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress causes insulin resistance by inhibiting delivery of newly synthesised insulin receptors to the cell surface (2020)
Journal Article
Brown, M., Dainty, S., Strudwick, N., Mihai, A. D., Watson, J. N., Dendooven, R., Paton, A. W., Paton, J. C., & Schröder, M. (2020). Endoplasmic reticulum stress causes insulin resistance by inhibiting delivery of newly synthesised insulin receptors to the cell surface. Molecular Biology of the Cell, 31(23), 2495-2629. https://doi.org/10.1091/mbc.e18-01-0013

Accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes ER stress and activates a signalling network known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). Here we characterise how ER stress and the UPR inhibit insulin signalling. We find t...

Bioengineering Novel in vitro Co-culture Models That Represent the Human Intestinal Mucosa With Improved Caco-2 Structure and Barrier Function (2020)
Journal Article
Darling, N. J., Mobbs, C. L., González-Hau, A. L., Freer, M., & Przyborski, S. (2020). 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...
