A novel fluorescent probe, triphenylamine rhodamine-3-acetic acid (mRA) for the detection of Amyloid-β aggregates in Alzheimer's disease by Raja Chinnappan, Raja Chinnappan, Mateen A. Khan, Taj Mohammad, Sarah Mohammed Allwaibh, Shanmugam Easwaramoorthi, Ahmed Yaqinuddin, Sandhanasamy Devansan, Tanveer Ahmad Mir, Tanveer Ahmad Mir, Imtaiyaz Hassan

“…Furthermore, CD studies confirmed that the mRA binds to Aβ aggregates, and its binding induces significant structural alteration of the Aβ aggregates. Thermodynamic properties revealed that the binding of Aβ aggregates to mRA is a spontaneous process, driven by enthalpy and favored by entropy, which helps further our understanding of the interaction between mRA and Aβ aggregates at the molecular level. …”

Cultivating reciprocity and supporting Indigenous lifeways through the cultural transformation of natural resource management in North America by Jonathan James Fisk, Richard E. W. Berl, Jonathan Long, Lara Jacobs, Lily vanEeden, Melinda M. Adams, Álvaro Fernández‐Llamazares, Jazmin Murphy, Michael Gavin, Christopher K. Williams, Jonathan Salerno, Bas Verschuuren, Nathan Bennett, Rodrigue Idohou, Alexander Mawyer

“…Incommensurabilities between NRM institutional cultures and Indigenous cultures impede efforts to implement IK and support Indigenous lifeways as: (1) rigid institutional structures do not account for Indigenous worldviews and values but instead attempt to fit IK within dominant paradigms; (2) the siloing of NRM leads to the piecemealing and invalidation of IK at the expense of Knowledge Holders and (3) ineffective public engagement strategies limit the possibility of reciprocal relations between NRM institutions and communities throughout management processes. …”
