Advances in Ecological Research, Volume 64, January 2021

This book chapter advances SDG 15 by demonstrating the concept of designing mixed species native plantings (a type of semi-natural habitat) based on plant-insect interactions to increase abundance and diversity of non-bee and bee crop pollinators in an intensively managed agricultural landscape.

Agricultural Waste Diversity and Sustainability Issues, Sub-Saharan Africa as a Case Study, 2021, Pages 97-118

This book chapter addresses SDG 7 and 12 by explaining how biofuel made from producing crops can lend to sustainable agricultural solutions for developing countries with sub-Saharan Africa used as a case study.
Elsevier,

Dynamic Sedimentary Environments of Mangrove Coasts, 2021.

This book chapter advances SDGs 13, 14 and 15 by exploring “passive” mangrove restoration strategies as a preferred restoration in order to provide better opportunities for blue carbon abatement and increase resilience of coasts to rising sea levels and biodiversity loss.
Elsevier,

Food, Medical, and Environmental Applications of Polysaccharides, 2021, Pages 381-400

This chapter advances SDGs 3 and 11 by covering the latest advances in biosensors, which play an innovative role in biomedical applications and improving healthcare. Additionally, the focus is on biosensors derived from natural polysaccharides, i.e. sustainable, bio-based materials.
Elsevier,

Sex Differences in Cardiac Diseases, 2021, Pages 539-565

This book chapter advances SDG 3 by explaining how sex steroids (hormones), through their interactions with the sex steroid receptors present in the heart and vasculature, and their metabolic effects, play a vital role in cardiovascular (CV) health.
Elsevier,

Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, 2021, Pages 21-31

This book chapter advances SDG 3 by explaining how peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a significant cause of pregnancy-associated morbidity and mortality.
Elsevier,

Organ Repair and Regeneration, 2021, Pages 273-284

This book chapter advances SDG 3 by explaining how there are many strategies that have been implemented to increase the transplant donor pool, yet the gap between the demand and the offer remains too wide and, as a consequence, the number of patients dying on the waiting list keeps rising.
Elsevier,

Stem Cells, Third Edition, 2021, Pages 383-399

This book chapter advances SDG 3 by explaining how many scientists share the conviction that human stem cell technology and greater understanding of stem cell biology will in the coming decades fulfill much of its promise and revolutionise medicine as we know it today, improving patient care without past precedent.
Elsevier,

Translational Biotechnology, 2021, Pages 53-77

This book chapter advances SDG 3 by explaining how the role of biotechnology as a forerunner in the pathway of revolution of human lives has been promising in the recent past. The achievements of biotechnology in the bio-medical front encompass various products like novel vaccines, diagnostic devices, and novel therapeutic strategies.

Gemma C. Cotton, Natalie R. Lagesse, Liam S. Parke, Carla J. Meledandri, 3.04 - Antibacterial Nanoparticles, Editor(s): David L. Andrews, Robert H. Lipson, Thomas Nann, Comprehensive Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Second Edition), Academic Press, 2019, Pages 65-82

This chapter advances SDGs 3 and 6 by showing how increasing bacterial resistance to commonly used antibiotics is a pressing threat to the human population on a global scale. As the development of new combative drugs is complex, expensive, time consuming and risky, there has been a strong focus in recent years to develop alternative strategies for the treatment of bacterial infections, and nanoscale materials have emerged a strong contender for this purpose.
