but adopting a highly charged state upon binding to polyP due to the highly anionic microenvironment surrounding the polyP partner. The two candidate CBGs were chosen with the expectation that only a fraction of their alkylamines will be protonated prior to polyP binding, while then having the ab...
Air pollution is an issue of increasing interest due to its globally relevant impacts on morbidity and mortality. Controlled human exposure (CHE) studies are often employed to investigate the impacts of pollution on human health, with diesel exhaust (DE) commonly used as a surrogate of traffic re...

As red blood cells are devoid of organelles to regulate their deformability, their mechanical properties are largely determined by the composition and organisation of the plasma membrane and the underlying cytoskeleton [1]. Oxidative stress can lead to the non-enzymatic oxidation of lipids and sterols...

These effects have also been objectively measured in physiological reactions such as reduced blood pressure16and the stress-related cortisol hormone17. Moreover, as potential long-term effects of nature, occurrence of illnesses has been shown to be reduced as a result of interaction with nature7,...
