Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Effect of ultrasonic and infrared treatments on microbial population, physicochemical properties, and total phenols of sprouted wheat powder [PDF]
Sprouting is a simple technique for improving the nutritional and quality characteristics of cereal grains. The purpose of this work was to examine ultrasonic pretreatment and drying methods (hot-air and infrared) on microbial population (total bacterial

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

INFLUENCE OF CHEMICAL FERTILIZATION ON STRAWBERRY FRUIT PROPERTIES [PDF]
The worldwide trend of plantations fertilization imposed a new concept in this field. On one hand, it was abandoned the idea of using large amounts of fertilizer to force the obtaining of high yields, and on the other hand, increasingly require more and ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
