Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Development of Precise Low Value Capacitance Measurement System for Cryogenics Two Phase Flow Application [PDF]

Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, 2018
In cryogenic two phase flow, it is always challenging to measure the quality and void fraction. In this regard, an effort has been made to indigenously develop an electronic circuit to measure the void fraction by measuring the capacitance of the order ...

Capacitance Enhancement of Hydrothermally Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanofibers

Nanomaterials, 2020
Nanocarbon materials present sp2-carbon domains skilled for electrochemical energy conversion or storage applications. In this work, we investigate graphene oxide nanofibers (GONFs) as a recent interesting carbon material class.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Biophysical Properties of Inner Bark and Sapwood in Tree Species From Forests With Contrasting Precipitation in Subtropical South America

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Stem capacitance and water storage are known to play an important role in the water economy of trees by acting as an intermediate water source for transpiring leaves. The bark, in addition to be involved in protection and mechanical support of the trees,

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

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 ...

Supercapacitor Using Polypyrrole and Carbon Nanotube Composite as Electrodes

C
Electrodes and electrolytes are critical components for the performance of supercapacitors. In this study, supercapacitors with different interfaces were assembled using polypyrrole (PPy) or a polypyrrole–carbon nanotube (PPy-CNT) composite as active ...

Invisible but not inaccessible—Revealing transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins with solution NMR and complementary methods

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins may be ‘invisible’ to direct detection yet remain accessible to solution NMR through equilibrium‐exchange measurements and pressure‐jump experiments. Complementary methods report on mass, stoichiometry, selected distance distributions, morphology, and internal packing.

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?
