Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Feasibility Theory Reconciles and Informs Alternative Approaches to Neuromuscular Control

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2018
We present Feasibility Theory, a conceptual and computational framework to unify today's theories of neuromuscular control. We begin by describing how the musculoskeletal anatomy of the limb, the need to control individual tendons, and the physics of a ...

Two-Dimensional Signatures [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Probability, 2012
The notion of the signature is a basic concept and a powerful tool in the analysis of networks and reliability systems of binary type. An appropriate definition of this concept has recently been introduced for systems that have ν possible states (with ν ≥ 3).

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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Equivalence of Partition Functions Leads to Classification of Entropies and Means

open access: yesEntropy, 2012
We derive a two-parameter family of generalized entropies, <em>S<sub>pq</sub></em>, and means <em>m<sub>pq</sub></em>. To this end, assume that we want to calculate an entropy and a mean for <em>n</

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Nonlinear Dynamic Field Embedding: On Hyperspectral Scene Visualization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In many areas of research, complex signals are commonly represented by high dimensional feature vectors. However, high dimensional vectors are difficult to analyze and interpret due to the curse of dimensionality.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

High-performance nanocomposites synergistically reinforced by 2-dimensional montmorillonite and 0-dimensional nano TiO2

open access: yesCailiao gongcheng, 2019
Comprehensive high-performance epoxy nanocomposites were successfully prepared by co-incorporating 2-dimensional montmorillonite (MMT) and 0-dimensional nano TiO2 co-incorporated into epoxy.

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.
