Influence of Shrimp Farm Effluents on the Biological Performance of the Pacific Oyster Magallana gigas in the Gulf of California

Aquaculture Journal
The discharge of effluents from shrimp farms into coastal lagoons can alter food availability, water quality, and pollutant load, potentially affecting the biological performance and safety of farmed bivalves. This study evaluated the influence of shrimp

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Elevated pCO2 impairs overall byssus attachment strength in the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) without altering byssus thread quality

Frontiers in Marine Science
Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is driving global ocean acidification (OA). This process may threaten the persistence of bed-forming mussels by weakening the byssal system that anchors them to the seafloor. Here, blue mussels (Mytilus edulis)

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Physiological Impacts of a Newly Discovered Trematode Parasite on Its Host, the Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians)

Ecology and Evolution
Parasites have the potential to impact aquaculture by degrading product quality, increasing mortality, and reducing fecundity. Previous research has identified a novel trematode parasite, Saccularina sp., infecting the gills of wild and cultured ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...
