K., Kane, N., Bennett, M., Wells, D., Cubry, P., Bailey, E., Grondin, A., Vigouroux, Y., & Laplaze, L. (2025). Genetic control of the leaf ionome in pearl millet and correlation with root and agromorphological traits. PLoS ONE, 20(5), Article e0319140. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0319140

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) thrives in arid and nutrient-poor environments, establishing its role as a crucial cereal crop for food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite its remarkable adaptability, its yields remain below genetic potential,...

Isotopic evidence for long-term behaviour of fuel-derived uranium in soils of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (2025)
Journal Article
Izquierdo, M., Bailey, E., Crout, N., Gashchak, S., Maksimenko, A., Young, S., & Shaw, G. (2025). Isotopic evidence for long-term behaviour of fuel-derived uranium in soils of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Science of the Total Environment, 979, Article 179408. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2025.179408

The accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Ukraine) resulted in extremely high contamination in adjacent areas and radioactive plumes transported further afield. A distinctive feature was the direct release of uranium-rich reactor fuel fragme...

Nutritional Status Reshapes Gut Microbiota Composition in Adolescent Afghan Refugees in Peshawar, Pakistan (2025)
Journal Article
Shahzad, M., Arshad, M., Ahmad, H. A., Iddrissu, I., Bailey, E. H., Dru, N., Khan, S., Khan, H., & Andrews, S. C. (2025). Nutritional Status Reshapes Gut Microbiota Composition in Adolescent Afghan Refugees in Peshawar, Pakistan. Nutrition Research, 138, 55-67. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nutres.2025.04.004

Although the human gut microbiome, and its role in health and disease, have been extensively studied in different populations, a comprehensive assessment of gut microbiome composition has not been performed in vulnerable refugee populations. In this... Read More about Nutritional Status Reshapes Gut Microbiota Composition in Adolescent Afghan Refugees in Peshawar, Pakistan.
