Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Inhibition of Agrobacterium-Induced Cell Death\ud by Antiapoptotic Gene Expression Leads\ud to Very High Transformation Efficiency of Banana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The death of plant cells in culture following exposure to\ud Agrobacterium tumefaciens remains a major obstacle in developing\ud Agrobacterium-mediated transformation into a\ud highly efficient genotype-independent technology.

Detection of cell carcinogenic transformation by a quadruplex DNA binding fluorescent probe. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Cancer can be easily treated when found early. A probe capable of detecting cell transformation may increase the success rate of early diagnosis of cancer.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Comparison of cell-to-cell transformation with artificial transformation.

open access: yes, 2013
Strain names: CAG, CAG18439; HB, HB101; and MC, MC4100. Cell-to-cell transformation (A) was performed with three combinations including donor cells harbouring pHSG299. Artificial transformations by the CaCl2 method (B) and PEG method (C) was performed as

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

HPV-18-Immortalised Cells Require the Downregulation of the SncmtRNA-2/Hsa-miR-620 Axis During Cell Transformation

open access: yesMedicina
Background and Objectives: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are genetic transcripts that do not produce proteins but are increasingly recognised for their roles in cellular processes and disease. Specifically, ncRNAs are implicated in the landscape activation of

BK Virus in Cancer Development

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2018
Polyomavirus (PyV) was discovered by accident in 1950 in the course of describing an infectious factor causing multiple tumours in rodents. The term is derived from two Greek words: poly (many) and oma (tumour).
