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.

Diphenylamine-derived bis-hydroxyamide catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of prochiral ketones
A series of bis-hydroxyamides were synthesized from diphenylamine-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid and chiral aminoalcohols. Their catalytic activity in asymmetric borane reduction was investigated.

Psychosocial aspects of domestic violence
The work carried out and the experiences of the clinicians show that the phenomenon of domestic violence is much more evident than what is believed in "normal" family and social contexts.

Model development for the analysis of reducing voltage asymmetry methods in power supply systems
THE PURPOSE. To consider the issues of ensuring the quality of electricity in power supply systems. Show that the quality of electrical energy during the operation of power supply systems in certain cases may be violated, including due to uneven loading ...

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.

Cell-cycle-independent transitions in temporal identity of mammalian neural progenitor cells
The molecular mechanisms determining the temporal identity patterns of self-renewing progenitors during cerebral development are largely unclear. Here, using single cell transcriptome analyses, the authors find progenitor temporal identity arises ...

Lessons from the Discovery of Mitochondrial Fragmentation (Fission): A Review and Update
Thirty-five years ago, we described fragmentation of the mitochondrial population in a living cell into small vesicles (mitochondrial fission). Subsequently, this phenomenon has become an object of general interest due to its involvement in the process ...

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Functional correlates of positional and gender-specific renal asymmetry in Drosophila [PDF]
In humans and other animals, the internal organs are positioned asymmetrically in the body cavity, and disruption of this body plan can be fatal in humans.
