Association between resilience and advance care planning during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan: a nationwide cross-sectional study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Advance care planning (ACP) is essential for end-of-life care, especially during the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and resilience is critical to deal with pandemic-related stressors.

Unloaing and re-loading features of pre-strained steel at low temperature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the present work the response of medium carbon steel is investigated experimentally and information on the features of initial loading, unloading, re-loading and inverse loading processes is collected.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Perceived stress and lower back pain amongst nurses during the SARS-CoV-2, across hospitals in Durban, South Africa

open access: yesCurationis
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic strained the healthcare sector and workers. Nurses experienced stress and burnout because of strain in resources, limited staff and exposure risk.

A possible mechanism for spontaneous cyclic back-arc spreading

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
Back-arc spreading is a non-steady-state process exemplified by the repeated cycles of spreading of the South Fiji and the Lau Basins behind the Tonga arc, and the Parece Vela Basin and the Mariana Trough behind the Mariana arc.

Earth's rotation variability triggers explosive eruptions in subduction zones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The uneven Earth’s spinning has been reported to affect geological processes, i.e. tectonism, seismicity and volcanism, on a planetary scale. Here, we show that changes of the length of day (LOD) influence eruptive activity at subduction margins ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Heterogeneous materials: a new class of materials with unprecedented mechanical properties

open access: yesMaterials Research Letters, 2017
Here we present a perspective on heterogeneous materials, a new class of materials possessing superior combinations of strength and ductility that are not accessible to their homogeneous counterparts.
