Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

“Seeing Myself as a Whole”: An IPA Study Exploring Positive Body Image Through Greek Women’s Embodied Experiences

open access: yesWomen
Positive Body Image (PBI) has been conceptualized as a multidimensional construct encompassing acceptance, functionality appreciation, and self-care, yet little is known about the lived processes through which women move from self-criticism to ...

Digital Microfluidic System with Vertical Functionality

open access: yesMicromachines, 2015
Digital (droplet) microfluidics (DµF) is a powerful platform for automated lab-on-a-chip procedures, ranging from quantitative bioassays such as RT-qPCR to complete mammalian cell culturing.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Beta-hydroxy-beta-methyl-butyrate blunts negative age-related changes in body composition, functionality and myofiber dimensions in rats

open access: yesJournal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2012
Purpose To determine the effects of 16 wk. of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) administration on age-related changes in functionality and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) determined myofiber dimensions.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Transcriptional profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles from prebiopsy prostate cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...

Improving body image in female Chinese social media users with eating disorder symptoms: a randomized controlled trial of two online self-guided single-session interventions

open access: yesJournal of Eating Disorders
Background Social media use is a risk factor for eating and body image disturbances. The overlap between social media and eating and body image disturbances is particularly concerning in the Chinese context given an estimated billion active social media ...

Relationship between pain, functionality, and body composition in patients with fibromyalgia: cross-sectional study

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
BackgroundFibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disorder characterised by widespread pain, central sensitisation, and significant psychosocial burden. Patients often present impaired functional capacity, heightened pain perception, and high rates of anxiety and

Comparisons between body adiposity indexes and cutoff values in the prediction of functional disability in older women

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2016
The aim of this study was to compare body adiposity indexes and to identify cutoff values in the prediction of disability in older women. Eighty-seven voluntees (67.27±6.45 years) underwent body composition assessment using dual-energy X-ray ...
