ASSESSING COMMUNITY-BASED CONSERVATION PROJECTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND MULTILEVEL ANALYSIS OF ATTITUDINAL, BEHAVIORAL, ECOLOGICAL, AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES

Abstract Background Community-based conservation (CBC) promotes the idea that long-term conservation success requires engaging with, and providing benefits for local communities.Though widespread, CBC projects are not always successful or free of controversy.With criticisms on all sides of the conservation debates, it is critical to have a better u

Abstract Biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex-1 (BLOC-1) is a protein complex involved in the formation of endosomal tubular structures that mediates the sorting of protein cargoes to specialised compartments.In this study, we present insights into the metabolic consequences caused by BLOC-1 deficiency in pallid mice, which carry a nul

While changes in glomerular function and structure may herald diabetic kidney disease (DKD), many studies have underscored the significance of tubule-interstitial changes in the progression of DKD.Indeed, tubule-interstitial fibrosis may be the most important determinant of progression of DKD as in many forms of chronic glomerulopathies.The mechani
