Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Discussion on the formulas used to calculate the dissolution rate by the rock tablet method
Carsologica SinicaThe dissolution rate of carbonate rocks is an important parameter for investigating the karst carbon cycle and evaluating the carbon sink effect; as well as a key indicator for studying karst development and karst hydrogeological problems.

Carbon Cycle Uncertainty in REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Characterisation of estimates of regional carbon budgets and processes is inherently a statistical task. In full form this means that almost all quantities used or produced are realizations or instances of probability distributions.
