FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

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.

Scenarios for Maintenance and Building Decommissioning in the Building’s Life Cycle
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019 The LCC analysis can be applied to assess effectiveness of construction variants or acquisition of new facilities as well as modernization of the existing ones. The authors of this paper intended to apply the LCCA method at analysing a building in the final stage of the building life cycle (grade phase).

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 ...

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.

Buildings Lean Maintenance Implementation Model
Open Engineering, 2016 Abstract Nowadays, companies in global markets have to achieve high levels of performance and competitiveness to stay “alive”.Within this assumption, the building maintenance cannot be done in a casual and improvised way due to the costs related.
