A Global Indicator for Biological Invasion [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2006 Abstract: “Trends in invasive alien species” is one of only two indicators of threat to biodiversity that form part of the Convention on Biological Diversity's (CBD) framework for monitoring progress toward its “2010 target” (i.e., the commitment to achieve by 2010 a significant reduction in the current rate of

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.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

The minimal invasion speed of two competing species in homogeneous environment
Mathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering, 2023 Biological invasion has become an important element of global changes. In this paper, we use a reaction-diffusion system to discuss the minimal invasion speed of two competing species in the homogeneous environment.

Mutualistic Interactions and Biological Invasions [PDF]
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2014 Mutualisms structure ecosystems and mediate their functioning. They also enhance invasions of many alien species. Invasions disrupt native mutualisms, often leading to population declines, reduced biodiversity, and altered ecosystem functioning. Focusing on three main types of mutualisms (pollination, seed dispersal, and plant-microbial symbioses) and ...

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.

The STOP1-MATE-Citrate Axis Confers Inorganic Sn Tolerance in Plants
PlantsInorganic tin (Sn) is an emerging pollutant whose phytotoxicity and plant detoxification mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that inorganic Sn severely inhibits root growth and triggers ROS accumulation in Lemna minor and ...
