Active restoration of post-mining forest benefits the activity density, but not the diversity of spider communities across the seasons in Ghana by Harriet Kinga, Frederick Gyasi Damptey, Danilo Harms, Rudy Jocqué, Arnaud Henrard, Klaus Birkhofer

“…The species Pardosa injucunda and Trochosa gentilis dominated the communities in the restored forest, but Africactenus monitor dominated the natural forest and Hogna gratiosa dominated communities in the gravel site. Surprisingly, active forest restoration promoted the activity density of ground-hunting spiders displaced by mining activities to levels even higher than in the reference natural forest after two decades. …”

Lactoferrin exhibits PEDV antiviral activity by interfering with spike-heparan sulfate proteoglycans binding and activating mucosal immune response by Peng Liu, Jinjiao Zuo, Hui Lu, Bin Zhang, Caihong Wu

“…This study sought to clarify these mechanisms through both in vitro and in vivo approaches, proposing that higher concentrations of lactoferrin lead to greater antiviral activity. It was hypothesized that lactoferrin can impede PEDV by blocking its binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) on the surface of target cells, and molecular docking experiments was conducted to identify the binding sites between lactoferrin and HSPG. …”
