In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

A Quasi-Experiment of Self-Weight Combined with Dietary and Physical Activity to Reduce Postpartum Weight Retention

Iranian Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Research
Background: The failure to lose postpartum weight retention (PPWR) can impact obesity in later life, making programs aimed at reducing PPWR crucial.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Neck circumference as an alternative marker of metabolic syndrome in Peruvian adults: A retrospective, cross-sectional study

Endocrine and Metabolic Science
Neck circumference is a low-cost and simple anthropometric measure that has been proven to accurately assess central obesity. However, evidence of its use and feasibility in low-resource settings is limited.

Methodological problem with comparing increases in different measures of body weight

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background A number of studies have compared proportional increases over time in waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI). However this method is flawed.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS 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

FEBS 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 ...
