Modular construction (MC) is a promising concept with the potential to revolutionize the construction industry (CI).The sustainability aspects of MC, among its other encouraging facets, have garnered escalated interest and acclaim among the research community, especially in the context of climate change (CC) mitigation efforts.Despite numerous scho
Stem cells have the capacity to ensure the renewal of tissues and organs.They could be used in the future for a wide range of therapeutic purposes and are preserved at liquid nitrogen temperature to prevent any chemical or biological activity up to several decades before their use.We show that the cryogenized cells accumulate damages coming from na
We found several specimens of Tropidia connata, a mycoheterotrophic orchid from Borneo, with features which have never been described in any of the existing literature, namely subterranean tubers.We mainly focus on the importance of the subterranean structures in comparison with the mycoheterotrophic genus Kalimantanorchis from the tribe Tropidieae
Enzymes are powerful tools in organic synthesis that are able to catalyse a wide variety of selective chemical transformations under mild and environmentally friendly conditions.Enzymes such as the lipases have also found applications in the synthesis and degradation of polymeric materials.However, the use of these natural catalysts in the synthesi
