Sustainable bio-entrepreneurial education is a rapidly emerging concept in the modern environment. This study has aimed to assess the initiatives of bio-entrepreneurship education with green innovation, technology transfer and the encouragement with external motivation. The researcher has also tested the moderation of ‘awareness of bio-entrepreneurship’ in the model. This cause-and-effect relationship was analyzed through the implementation of quantitative research design. Data was analysed through SPSS and AMOS. Results demonstrated that TT insignificantly impacts SEO whereas, GI significantly influences SEO. The moderation of ABE has also been resulted to be insignificant in the model. This research extends the emerging literature regarding the studied constructs and their respective association. The practical research implications also hold greater significance by enlightening the importance of bio-entrepreneurship education and green innovation. Research limitations and future indications have also been explained in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The major focus of the study is on the effectiveness of knowledge transfer, employee mobility and the job crafting as antecedents of biotechnological firms’ success. The study has examined that mediating role of innovation performance. This study is conducted in the biotechnology sector in Australia. The study used a quantitative research method and collective data by utilizing a questionnaire. The sample size of the study is 202. Data has been statistically analyzed. The findings of the study have shown that task mobility, knowledge transfer, job crafting and innovation performance had significant and positive impact on the firm’s success. However, there is an insignificant impact of task mobility, job crafting and knowledge transfer on innovation performance of the firm. Furthermore, the mediating impact of innovation performance was found to be significant between task mobility and firm success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Emerging cellular and molecular studies are providing compelling evidence that altered brain development contributes to the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (HD). There has been lacking longitudinal system-level data obtained from in vivo HD models supporting this hypothesis. Our human MRI study in children and adolescents with HD indicates that striatal development differs between the HD and control groups, with initial hypertrophy and more rapid volume decline in HD group. In this study, we aimed to determine whether brain development recapitulates the human HD during the postnatal period. Longitudinal structural MRI scans were conducted in the heterozygous zQ175 HD mice and their littermate controls. We found that male zQ175 HD mice recapitulated the region-specific abnormal volume development in the striatum and globus pallidus, with early hypertrophy and then rapidly decline in the regional volume. In contrast, female zQ175 HD mice did not show significant difference in brain volume development with their littermate controls. This is the first longitudinal study of brain volume development at the system level in HD mice. Our results suggest that altered brain development may contribute to the HD pathogenesis. The potential effect of gene therapies targeting on neurodevelopmental event is worth to consider for HD therapeutic intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
