The power harnessed by cattle traction was undeniably a valuable asset to Neolithic communities. However, data are still lacking on the timing, purposes, and intensity of exploitation of draught animals. This paper sheds new light on a region of Euro

Abstract Increased epithelial permeability is a key feature of IBD pathogenesis and it has been proposed that agents which promote barrier function may be of therapeutic benefit. We have previously reported the secondary bile acid, ursodeoxycholic ac

Introduction: While better known for its pulmonary symptoms, SARS-CoV-2 also adversely affects the gastrointestinal tract, causing diarrhoea with evidence of inflammation. The nuclear bile acid receptor, farnesoid x receptor (FXR), is expressed in co

The analysis of processing standards alongside samples for quality assurance in radiocarbon (14C) analyses is critical. Ideally, these standards should be similar both in nature and age to unknown samples. A new compound-specific approach was develop

Conclusive Evidence for Cattle Traction in Middle Neolithic Ireland: A Pivotal Element for Resource Exploitation

Autor: Fabienne Pigière, Jessica Smyth

While cattle traction is a major technological innovation of the Neolithic period, data are still lacking on the chronology, purposes, and intensity of exploitation. This paper investigates cattle traction in the northwest Atlantic islands for which
