Effectiveness of front line and emerging fungal disease prevention and control interventions and opportunities to address appropriate eco-sustainable solutions
(Elsevier, 2022-08-21)Fungal pathogens contribute to significant disease burden globally; however, the fact that fungi are eukaryotes has greatly complicated their role in fungal-mediated infections and alleviation. Antifungal drugs are often ... -
The role of digital technologies in supporting and improving fishery and aquaculture across the supply chain - quo vadis?
(Elsevier, 2022-07-12)Fish constitute important high protein products to meet the demands of an increasing global population. However, the continued depletion of wild fish stocks is leading to increased strain on the aquaculture sector in terms ... -
Optimum conditions of roasting process of Liberica coffee towards the local and international preference
(Food Research, 2022-06)Coffea liberica is one of the common coffee species grown in most Southeast Asia countries, especially in Malaysia. However, its production accounts for just 2% globally. In general, coffee beans’ roasting temperature ... -
Use of next generation sequencing and bioinformatics for profiling freshwater eukaryotic microalgae in a novel peatland integrated multi-trophic aqualculture (IMTA) system: case study from the Republic of Ireland.
(Elsevier, 2022-08-30)Development of integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems constitutes a step change in the sustainable production of freshwater fish to meet emerging needs for high-protein foods globally. Recently, there has been ... -
Peatland-based innovation can potentially support and enable the sustainable development goals of the United Nations: case study from the Republic of Ireland.
(Elsevier, 2022-08-25)The aim of this case study is to develop a novel freshwater aquaculture organic-process in the Irish peatlands along with adjacent eco-innovation that will support food production and security regionally with a global ... -
Digital transformation of peatland eco-innovations (‘Paludiculture’): Enabling a paradigm shift towards the real-time sustainable production of ‘green-friendly’ products and services
(Elsevier, 2022-05-29)The world is heading in the wrong direction on carbon emissions where we are not on track to limit global warming to 1.5 °C; Ireland is among the countries where overall emissions have continued to rise. The development ... -
Effects of climate and environmental variance on the performance of a novel peatland-based integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) system: implications and opportunities for advancing research and disruptive innovation post COVID-19 era
(Elsevier, 2022-05-01)Advancing wet peatland ‘paludiculture’ innovation present enormous potential to sustain carbon-cycles, reduce greenhouse-gas (GHG) gas emissions and to transition communities to low-carbon economies; however, there is ... -
Mycotherapy: potential of fungal bioactives for the treatment of mental health disorders and morbidities of chronic pain
(MDPI, 2022-03-11)Mushrooms have been used as traditional medicine for millennia, fungi are the main natural source of psychedelic compounds. There is now increasing interest in using fungal active compounds such as psychedelics for alleviating ... -
Achieving sustainability of the seafood sector in the European Atlantic area by addressing eco-social challenges: the NEPTUNUS Project.
(2022-03-05): Fisheries and aquaculture are becoming a focus of societal concern driven by globalization and increasing environmental degradation, mainly caused by climate change and marine litter. In response to this problem, the ... -
Immunomodulatory activity of β-glucan polysaccharides isolated from different species of mushroom – A potential treatment for inflammatory lung conditions
(Elsevier, 2022-02-25)Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most common form of acute severe hypoxemic respiratory failure in the critically ill with a hospital mortality of 40%. Alveolar inflammation is one of the hallmarks for ... -
Treatment for the amelioration of persistent factors in complex anal fistula
(Springer, 2021-11-19)Anal fistulae are abnormal hollow connections between the wall of the anal canal and the perianal skin around the anus that have remained a burden on the medical sector for centuries. The complexity of this disease is ... -
Application of biomaterials for complex anal fistulae
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-11-07)Complex anal fistulae remain a challenge for the medical sector as conventional treatments put patients at risk of incontinence. Clinicians and researchers have become interested in the application of bioresorbable ... -
