Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS 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.

Integrated Floodplain Management, Environmental Change, and Geomorphology: Problems and Prospects [PDF]

, 2015
Recognition of the failure of old perspectives on river management and the need to enhance environmental sustainability has stimulated a new approach to river management over the past couple of decades.

Multi-stage evolution of mesoscale warm eddies in the Kuroshio Extension: a case study based on data-assimilative modeling

Frontiers in Marine Science
Mesoscale warm eddy shedding from the Kuroshio Extension (KE) is highly variable, and its evolution during the life cycle is affected by KE perturbations.

Spatial and temporal disaggregation of anthropogenic CO2 emissions from the City of Cape Town

South African Journal of Science, 2015
This paper describes the methodology used to spatially and temporally disaggregate carbon dioxide emission estimates for the City of Cape Town, to be used for a city-scale atmospheric inversion estimating carbon dioxide fluxes. Fossil fuel emissions were

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

FEBS 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 ...

Glacier-influenced hydrological regimes in the Afghanistan Hindu Kush Himalaya under current and future climate

Hydrology Research
Glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) are important freshwater resources. Glacier recession may lead to a significant decrease in summer runoff.

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

FEBS 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.

Saw-tooth bar dynamics on the Ameland ebb-tidal delta [PDF]

, 2017
Ebb-tidal deltas are part of tidal inlet systems, and it is important to understand sediment transport processes and pathways that take place there. Sediment is transported along ebb-tidal deltas as both suspended load and bedload, and bedform migration ...

Upstream perturbation and floodplain formation effects on chute-cutoff-dominated meandering river pattern and dynamics [PDF]

, 2019
A sustained dynamic inflow perturbation and bar–floodplain conversion are considered crucial to dynamic meandering. Past experiments, one-dimensional modelling and linear theory have demonstrated that the initiation and persistence of dynamic meandering ...

A protocol for high-quality sectioning for tree-ring anatomy

Frontiers in Plant Science
Quantitative wood anatomy (QWA), which involves measuring wood cell anatomical characteristics commonly on dated tree rings, is becoming increasingly important within plant sciences and ecology.
