Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
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.

Background Identification of DNA sequence diversity is a powerful means for assessing the species present in environmental samples. The most common molecular strategies for estimating taxonomic composition depend upon PCR with universal primers that ...

Monitoring otter populations by DNA typing of spraints [PDF]
To monitor mammals by direct observation is often very difficult. Therefore a new technique based on DNA typing of droppings has been developed. DNA typing of otter spraints can potentially provide estimates of population size, home ranges, dispersal ...

Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Pilot progress in DNA isolation and amplification from the material stored at the LWS herbarium
The isolation of DNA from the herbarium specimens deposited at the LWS herbarium (State Museum of Natural History of the NAS of Ukraine, Lviv, Ukraine) has been tested using the column-based protocol.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Fungal-specific PCR primers developed for analysis of the ITS region of environmental DNA extracts
Background The Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions of fungal ribosomal DNA (rDNA) are highly variable sequences of great importance in distinguishing fungal species by PCR analysis.

Mechanism of DNA primer synthesis by human PrimPol [PDF]
PrimPol is the second primase discovered in eukaryotic cells, whose function is to restart the stalled replication forks during both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA replication. This chapter revises our current knowledge about the mechanism of synthesis of DNA primers by human PrimPol, and the importance of its distinctive Zn-finger domain (ZnFD).

Molecular basis for the initiation of DNA primer synthesis
During the initiation of DNA replication, oligonucleotide primers are synthesized de novo by primases and are subsequently extended by replicative polymerases to complete genome duplication. The primase-polymerase (Prim-Pol) superfamily is a diverse grouping of primases, which includes replicative primases and CRISPR-associated primase-polymerases ...

Detection of Phytophthora species by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry [PDF]
Phytophthora diseases have caused worldwide economic, social and environmental impacts for decades. Once their presence is confirmed, they are difficult to eradicate.
