Façade Cleaning Robot for Convex-Shaped Infrastructure: Design and Experiment
IEEE AccessThis study developed an integrated robot platform, Edelstro-S, for managing complex-shaped building exteriors, addressing two key limitations of existing ascender robots: insufficient wall adaptation capability and workspace constraints.

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.

BIM implementation in building maintenance management [PDF]
Građevinar, 2019 Building Information Modelling (BIM) podrazumijeva izradu višedimenzionalnog informacijskog modela građevine, koji se temelji na osnovnom 3D modelu i omogućava dijeljenje informacija među sudionicima u projektu tijekom cijelog životnog vijeka građevine. Za učinkovitije upravljanje održavanjem građevina predlaže se integracija održavanja građevina i BIM-

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
