Lysyl oxidase (LOX)‐mediated remodeling of the extracellular matrix
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of enzymes drives extracellular matrix remodeling by oxidizing collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, promoting covalent cross‐link formation. This activity regulates tissue architecture and mechanical properties, while its dysregulation contributes to fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, connective tissue disorders ...

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR
FEBS 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.

Cremation of body parts and fetuses
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2004 Crematoria are occasionally asked to cremate non-viable fetuses. Many doctors, especially those associated with crematoria, believe that there will be no cremated residue. However, if the cremation technique is modified, cremated remains are produced. These remains can form a focal point for the parent's grief.

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

Categorisation of body parts in bilinguals
Journal of the European Second Language AssociationRecent categorisation studies have shown that languages segment parts of the body differently and that even if two languages have equivalent body part terms, they cover slightly different portions of the body.

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

On how the acquisition of recoverable parts influences the profitability of spare parts management for durables [PDF]
In the management of spare parts for durables OEMs often face a sharp decline in sales of spare parts when the warranty period of their products ends. One reason for this effect is given by the high profitability of the after sales market which attracts ...

Property in human body parts [PDF]
The expanding uses of body parts in biomedicine and elsewhere has created new thinking on how we might understand the legal status of human biomaterials. This chapter examines why the question of whether property concepts apply to body parts has emerged,

Body parts of one's own: a moral argument for the ownership of human body parts
, 2009 The possibility of transplanting human body parts from one person to another, and the increasing and varied use for such parts in medical experimentation, means that human body parts can now reasonably be described as medical resources. Like many medical
