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.

Safety Shields, an Automated Failure Handling Mechanism for {BDI} Agents
The Belief Desire Intention model is a widely used architecture for developing rational agents. Because of its expressiveness, the task of programming a BDI agent can be challenging, especially when applied to safety-critical scenarios. In such scenarios,

Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Features of lustration in Latvia
The KGB, which brought endless disasters to Latvia and its people, was already in the spotlight of Latvian society during the Soviet years. Latvians regarded this organisation as the embodiment of all communist evil.

The substantial data volumes encountered in modern particle physics and other domains of fundamental physics research allow (and require) the use of increasingly complex data analysis tools and workflows. While the use of machine learning (ML) tools for data analysis has recently proliferated, these tools are typically special-purpose algorithms that ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Germany Democratic Republic and Polish National Republic political polices
The Soviet regime needed to establish security structures in the satellite states. Due to the weak satellite communist parties (further weakened by Stalin’s repression), the Soviet regime had no confidence in its allies.
