An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Development and Characterization of Pasta Enriched with Giant Mealworm (Zophobas morio) Powder: An Innovative Nutritional Alternative

Insects
The growing global population has intensified the search for sustainable and nutritious food sources. This study evaluated the effects of incorporating giant mealworm (Zophobas morio) flour at levels of 0%, 7.5%, 15%, and 17.5% on the nutritional ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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 ...

Future Directions for Sustainable Poultry Feeding and Product Quality: Alternatives from Insects, Algae and Agro-Industrial Fermented By-Products

Agriculture
Due to global increases in poultry meat and egg production, consumers request sustainable agricultural practices, requiring alternative solutions for future feeding. Global egg production increased by over 41% between 2000 and 2020, from 51 to 87 million

Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens) as Dietary Source for Laying Quails: Live Performance, and Egg Physico-Chemical Quality, Sensory Profile and Storage Stability

Animals, 2019
Insects are promising candidates as alternative sustainable sources of protein for poultry species. The present research studied the effect of a dietary inclusion of a defatted black soldier fly (BSF) larvae meal as an alternative protein source in the ...

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Nutritional evaluation of cuticle-intact and cuticle-removed silkworm (Bombyx mori) pupae meal in poultry diets: effects on production performance and fatty acid profiles of meat and eggs

Frontiers in Animal Science
IntroductionSilkworm (Bombyx mori) pupae meal (SWPM), a by-product of sericulture, is rich in high-quality protein (45–60%) and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). This study evaluated the effects of graded inclusion levels of cuticle-intact (SWPM-CI)

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Meat-based substrates in black soldier fly larvae rearing: impacts on growth performance and nutritional value

Italian Journal of Animal Science
The main interest of insect farming lies in their potential to be reared on unexploited substrates. The black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) can be reared on a wide variety of substrates and in a short time.
