The sustainable use of species-rich grasslands for forage and biogas production by French, K

“…In this thesis, I examined the agricultural value of species-rich grasslands in lowland England and the potential ecological impact of losing these landscapes. My research had four main objectives: (1) to determine whether the nutritional composition of forage from species-rich grasslands was comparable to commercial livestock feeds, (2) to assess the bioenergy output of biomass from species-rich grasslands compared to current bioenergy feedstocks, (3) to determine the effect of land use change and agricultural intensification on microbial diversity, and (4) to determine whether grassland biodiversity was stable or changed (temporally and spatially) over time. …”

Preclinical development of antisense conjugates for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy 1 by Stoodley, J

“…However, no therapy has yet been specifically developed that aims to additionally penetrate the CNS and treat the neurological symptoms experienced by patients. Furthermore, cell-penetrating peptide ASO conjugates (CPP-ASOs) can be associated with nephrotoxicity at higher doses, resulting in a trade-off between efficacy and toxicity, highlighting the need for further optimization to broaden their therapeutic window.…”
