Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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

Comparing the Effect of a 40-Day Diet of Animal-based and Vegetablebased Protein in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease under Hemodialysis; a Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]

International Journal of Nutrition Sciences, 2017
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important health issue that will ultimately require routine dialysis or renal transplantation. Studies on dietary intervention comparing animal and or vegetable protein have not yet validated a suitable ...

Nitrogen efficiency of dairy cattle : from protein evaluation to ammonia emission [PDF]

, 2011
Diet optimization contributes considerably to increased nitrogen efficiency of dairy cattle, resulting in reduced nitrogen losses. This thesis focuses on three themes: the potential advances in protein evaluation systems for ruminants, the relationship ...

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.

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.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Does partial replacement of animal protein with plant protein in the diet affect components of metabolic syndrome, adropin levels, and the atherogenic index of plasma? Results from a parallel randomized clinical trial in adults with metabolic syndrome

Nutrition & Diabetes
Background Few studies evaluated the effect of different proportions of dietary plant- and animal-based protein on metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its related biomarkers.

Effects of plant- versus animal-based proteins on muscle protein synthesis

Plant-based proteins have gained increasing attention due to ethical, health, economic, and environmental considerations. As interest in plant-based diets grows, it is important to determine whether plant-based proteins stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS) as effectively as animal-based proteins, and whether these effects differ by age or post ...
