Understanding the sentiment associated with cultural ecosystem services using images and text from social media

Devis Tuia

Social media is increasingly being employed to develop Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) indicators. The image-sharing platform Flickr has been one of the most popular sources of data. Most large-scale studies, however, tend to only use the number of image ...

Social media and deep learning reveal specific cultural preferences for biodiversity

Devis Tuia

Social media has created new opportunities to map cultural ecosystem services (CES) related to biodiversity at large scales. However, using these novel data to understand people's preferences in relation to these CES remains a challenge. To address this, w ...

Homogeneous Environmental Selection Structures the Bacterial Communities of Benthic Biofilms in Proglacial Floodplain Streams

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Tyler Joe Kohler, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Massimo Bourquin, Leïla Ezzat, Jade Brandani

Streams draining proglacial floodplains harbor benthic biofilms comprised of diverse microbial communities. These high-mountain ecosystems are rapidly changing with climate warming, and it is therefore critical to better understand the mechanisms underlyin ...

Unexpected post‐glacial colonisation route explains the white colour of barn owls ( Tyto alba ) from the British Isles

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli

The climate fluctuations of the Quaternary shaped the movement of species in and out of glacial refugia. In Europe, the majority of species followed one of the described traditional postglacial recolonization routes from the southern peninsulas towards the ...

The Paris/Geneva Divide. A Network Analysis of the Archives of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations

The International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation (ICIC) is often framed as a step in the constitution of a “League of Minds” – a place where scientists and writers reign, and a necessary part of a successful and harmonious “League of Nations” – but ...

Social media and deep learning capture the aesthetic quality of the landscape

Devis Tuia

Peoples’ recreation and well-being are closely related to their aesthetic enjoyment of the landscape. Ecosystem service (ES) assessments record the aesthetic contributions of landscapes to peoples’ well-being in support of sustainable policy goals. However ...

Biology and therapeutic targeting of tumour-associated macrophages

Michele De Palma, Tim Beltraminelli

Macrophages sustain tumour progression by facilitating angiogenesis, promoting immunosuppression, and enhancing cancer cell invasion and metastasis. They also modulate tumour response to anti-cancer therapy in pre-clinical models. This knowledge has motiva ...

Intraductal patient-derived xenografts of estrogen receptor α-positive breast cancer recapitulate the histopathological spectrum and metastatic potential of human lesions

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia, Georgios Sflomos, Laura Battista, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Valérian Charles Robert Dormoy, Patrik Aouad

Estrogen receptor α-positive (ER-positive) or 'luminal' breast cancers were notoriously difficult to establish as patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). We and others recently demonstrated that the microenvironment is critical for ER-positive tumor cells; when ...

Red squirrels in the British Isles are infected with leprosy bacilli

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso, Jérémie Piton

Leprosy, caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae or the recently discovered Mycobacterium lepromatosis, was once endemic in humans in the British Isles. Red squirrels in Great Britain (Sciurus vulgaris) have increasingly been observed with leprosy-li ...

Subfossil peatland trees as proxies for Holocene palaeohydrology and palaeoclimate

Luca Bragazza

Due to the scarcity of reliable and highly resolved moisture proxies covering much of the Holocene, there has been increased interest in the study of living and subfossil peatland trees sensitive to gradual and extreme changes in hydrology, precipitation, ...

Partners in crime: VEGF and IL-4 conscript tumour-promoting macrophages

Michele De Palma

Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) foster tumour progression by several mechanisms, including the promotion of angiogenesis, tissue remodelling, and immunosuppression. Such pro-tumoural activities are thought to be executed by TAM subtypes that harbour f ...

Converting core compounds into building blocks: The concept of regiochemically exhaustive functionalization

Fabrice Cottet, Carla Bobbio

In a model study, 3-fluorophenol and 3-fluoropyridine were converted into all possible regioisomers of the corresponding carboxylic acids by passing through the corresponding organometallic intermediates. As an attempt to generalize the findings reveals, a ...
