In vitro generation of antibodies often requires variable domain sequence evolution to adapt the protein in terms of affinity, specificity, or developability. Such antibodies, including those that are of interest for clinical development, may have their origins in a diversity of immunoglobulin germline genes. Others and we have previously shown that antibodies of different origins tend to evolve a

Recent research has shed light on the various tradeoffs involved in carbon forestry, i.e. the pursuit of international forestry projects to help mitigate climate change. This article contributes to these debates by highlighting the importance of resource quality and degradation in evaluating project benefits and tradeoffs. Focusing on the case of an industrial tree plantation in Uganda, the Kachun

The ontogeny of the pelturine olenid trilobite Leptoplastides salteri (Callaway, 1877) from the Shineton Shales, Shropshire, England, was first described in 1925 by Frank Raw. Since that time, scanning electron microscopy and other new technologies have revealed many more details of structure, of early developmental stages in particular, than were available to Raw. Whereas protaspides are not pres

Together with Mauritius, Botswana is often categorized as one of two growth miracles in sub-Saharan Africa. Due to its spectacular long-run economic performance and impressive social development, it has been termed both an economic success story and a developmental state. While there is uniqueness in the Botswana experience, several aspects of the country’s opportunities and challenges are of a mo

The role of hormonal factors in the etiology of lymphoid neoplasms remains unclear.

Within the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition cohort, we analyzed comprehensive data on reproductive fact

Studies show that toys, electronics and mattresses that are used by children in preschool environments contain hazardous substances. These substances can cause serious long term effects on children’s health and development and it is therefore important to minimise exposure to products containing these substances. Young children spend a significant amount of time in preschools and a change in the p
