Vitamin A and Histone Deacetylases in Alzheimer’s disease: The Good, the bad and the ugly Open
Background In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), histone acetylation is disrupted, suggesting loss of transcriptional control. Moreover, converging evidence suggests an age‐ and AD‐dependent loss of transcription controlled by all‐trans‐retinoic ac…

Fire-induced shifts in stalagmite organic matter mapped using Synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy Open
Understanding organic matter (OM) in cave mineral deposits (speleothems) is essential for interpreting land use and climatic changes, and the incorporation of trace elements associated with organic compounds. However, the sources and compo…
