A Kidney-Targeted Nanoparticle to Augment Renal Lymphatic Density Decreases Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Mice

Chronic interstitial inflammation and renal infiltration of activated immune cells play an integral role in hypertension.Lymphatics regulate inflammation through clearance of immune cells and excess interstitial fluid.Previously, we demonstrated increasing renal lymphangiogenesis prevents hypertension in mice.We hypothesized that targeted nanoparti

Vegetation Height as the Primary Driver of Functional Changes in Orthopteran Assemblages in a Roadside Habitat

Exhibiting manifold ecological impacts on terrestrial biota, roads have become a major driver of environmental change nowadays.However, many insect groups with high indication potential, such as grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera), have been largely neglected in road ecology research from a functional perspective.Using two complementary sampling
