Combined innovations in public policy, the private sector and culture can drive sustainability transitions in food systems (2021)
Journal Article
Allison, E. H., Moberg, E., Harl, H. K., Arbow, T., Almaraz, M., Dixon, J., …Halpern, B. S. (2021). Combined innovations in public policy, the private sector and culture can drive sustainability transitions in food systems. Nature Food, 2, 282-290. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-021-00261-5

Global food system analyses call for an urgent transition to sustainable human diets but how this might be achieved within the current global food regime is poorly explored. Here we examine the factors that have fostered major dietary shifts across e...

The Physiology of Reproduction – Quo vadis? (2021)
Journal Article
Ivell, R., & Anand-Ivell, R. (2021). The Physiology of Reproduction – Quo vadis?. Frontiers in Physiology, 12, Article 650550. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2021.650550

The reproductive system in males and females reflects a highly dynamic underlying physiology. Yet our current understanding of this system is still largely based upon relatively simplistic snapshots of individual component cells and tissues. Gamete p...
