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.

Anisotropic Elastoplastic Damage Mechanics Method to Predict Fatigue Life of the Structure

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
New damage mechanics method is proposed to predict the low-cycle fatigue life of metallic structures under multiaxial loading. The microstructure mechanical model is proposed to simulate anisotropic elastoplastic damage evolution.

Cytoplasmic p21 promotes stemness of colon cancer cells via activation of the NFκB pathway

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytoplasmic p21 promotes colorectal cancer stem cell (CSC) features by destabilizing the NFκB–IκB complex, activating NFκB signaling, and upregulating BCL‐xL and COX2. In contrast to nuclear p21, cytoplasmic p21 enhances spheroid formation and stemness transcription factor CD133.

Non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete plates by the boundary element method and continuum damage mechanics - DOI: 10.4025/actascitechnol.v31i1.348

Acta Scientiarum: Technology, 2009
In this work, non-linear analyses of reinforced concrete plates are performed by using a BEM formulation, based on Kirchhoff’s theory, which has already proved to be a robust technique to deal with plate problems.

Next‐generation proteomics improves lung cancer risk prediction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This is one of very few studies that used prediagnostic blood samples from participants of two large population‐based cohorts. We identified, evaluated, and validated an innovative protein marker model that outperformed an established risk prediction model and criteria employed by low‐dose computed tomography in lung cancer screening trials.

A Generalized Hypothesis of Elastic Energy Equivalence in Continuum Damage Mechanics

Engineering Transactions, 2017
A new generalized hypothesis of elastic energy equivalence is proposed. The proposed generalized hypothesis is inclusive of all the existing different hypotheses of equivalence in continuum damage mechanics and all are obtained as special cases ...

Effective therapeutic targeting of CTNNB1‐mutant hepatoblastoma with WNTinib

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
WNTinib, a Wnt/CTNNB1 inhibitor, was tested in hepatoblastoma (HB) experimental models. It delayed tumor growth and improved survival in CTNNB1‐mutant in vivo models. In organoids, WNTinib outperformed cisplatin and showed enhanced efficacy in combination therapy, supporting its potential as a targeted treatment for CTNNB1‐mutated HB.

Fundamental problems in blast-induced damage and protection of naval vessels: a state-of-the-art review

Zhongguo Jianchuan Yanjiu
Large ships and submarines are the main equipment and mobile platforms supporting three-dimensional naval space operations. However, with the increasing damage power and strike accuracy of warheads, plus the diversity of destroying elements, their living

Nickel Carcinogenesis Mechanism: DNA Damage [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Nickel (Ni) is known to be a major carcinogenic heavy metal. Occupational and environmental exposure to Ni has been implicated in human lung and nasal cancers. Currently, the molecular mechanisms of Ni carcinogenicity remain unclear, but studies have shown that Ni-caused DNA damage is an important carcinogenic mechanism.
