Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Intramolecular Versus Intermolecular Diels–Alder Reactions: Insights from Molecular Electron Density Theory

open access: yesMolecules
The intramolecular Diels–Alder (IMDA) reactions of four substituted deca-1,3,9-trienes and one N-methyleneocta-5,7-dien-1-aminium with different electrophilic/nucleophilic activations have been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT ...

Deciphering the Molecular Mechanism of Intramolecular Reactions from the Perspective of Bonding Evolution Theory

open access: yesPhyschem, 2022
The molecular mechanisms of three intramolecular rearrangements (I, the rearrangement of allyloxycycloheptatriene to yield tricyclic ketones; II, the cycloaddition of a nitrone-alkene to render two tricyclic isoxazolidines; and III, the decomposition of ...

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.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Thermoelectric properties of Mott insulator with correlated hopping at microdoping

open access: yesCondensed Matter Physics, 2020
An influence of the localization of itinerant electrons induced by correlated hopping on the electronic charge and heat transport is discussed for the lightly doped Mott insulator phase of the Falicov-Kimball model.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Analysis of Local and Global Aromaticity in Si3C5 and Si4C8 Clusters. Aromatic Species Containing Planar Tetracoordinate Carbon

open access: yesChemistry, 2021
The minimum energy structures of the Si3C5 and Si4C8 clusters are planar and contain planar tetracoordinate carbons (ptCs). These species have been classified, qualitatively, as global (π) and local (σ) aromatics according to the adaptive natural density

Effect of electron correlations and disorder on mobility and localization in quasi-one-dimensional wires

open access: yes, 1997
A self-consistent method for determining electron correlations and electron scattering from disorder is used to calculate electron mobilities in disordered quantum wires of finite diameter.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.
