Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Correlation between doping induced disorder and superconducting properties in carbohydrate doped MgB2 [PDF]
J. Appl. Phys. 104, 063911 (2008), 2008 A comprehensive study of the effects of carbohydrate doping on the superconductivity of MgB2 has been conducted. In accordance with the dual reaction model, more carbon substitution is achieved at lower sintering temperature. As the sintering temperature is lowered, lattice disorder is increased.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.α2 → 8 polysialic acid elicits poor immunogenicity. Small‐angle scattering shows a supramolecular structure with parallel‐chain binding, although in different forms at μm and mm calcium. The major histocompatibility complex requires molecular weights around 2000 Da to produce antibodies, and 2000 Da polysialic oligomers will bind in these structures ...

Thermal degradation of citrus pectin in low-moisture environment - Influence of acidic and alkaline pre-treatment [PDF]
, 2018 Pectin powder is degraded during storage and transport by demethoxylation and depolymerisation. The degradation mechanisms and especially the influence of pre-treatments on the degradation reactions are not completely understood.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Production of polyhydroxybutyrates and carbohydrates in a mixed cyanobacterial culture: effect of nutrients limitation and photoperiods [PDF]
, 2018 In the present study, different photoperiods and nutritional conditions were applied to a mixed wastewater-borne cyanobacterial culture in order to enhance the intracellular accumulation of polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) and carbohydrates. Two different experimental set-ups were used.

HAD-Net: Hybrid Attention-based Diffusion Network for Glucose Level Forecast [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Data-driven models for glucose level forecast often do not provide meaningful insights despite accurate predictions. Yet, context understanding in medicine is crucial, in particular for diabetes management. In this paper, we introduce HAD-Net: a hybrid model that distills knowledge into a deep neural network from physiological models. It models glucose,
