Metformin mediates mitochondrial quality control in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) fibroblasts carrying mtDNA mutations. At therapeutic levels, metformin activates AMPK signaling to restore mitochondrial dynamics by promoting fusion and restraining fission, while preserving mitochondrial mass, enhancing autophagy/mitophagy and biogenesis ...

Encapsulation of a polymer by an icosahedral virus
The coat proteins of many viruses spontaneously form icosahedral capsids around nucleic acids or other polymers. Elucidating the role of the packaged polymer in capsid formation could promote biomedical efforts to block viral replication and enable use ...

Lack of phenotypic and evolutionary cross-resistance against parasitoids and pathogens in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
BackgroundWhen organisms are attacked by multiple natural enemies, the evolution of a resistance mechanism to one natural enemy will be influenced by the degree of cross-resistance to another natural enemy.

Erythrocytes as Carriers of Therapeutic Enzymes. [PDF]
Therapeutic enzymes are administered for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. They exert their effects through binding with a high affinity and specificity to disease-causing substrates to catalyze their conversion to a non-noxious product, to ...

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

A Platform Approach to Protein Encapsulates with Controllable Surface Chemistry
The encapsulation of proteins into core-shell structures is a widely utilised strategy for controlling protein stability, delivery and release. Despite the recognised utility of these microstructures, however, core-shell fabrication routes are often too ...

Encapsulation for Practical Simplification Procedures [PDF]
ACL2 was used to prove properties of two simplification procedures. The procedures differ in complexity but solve the same programming problem that arises in the context of a resolution/paramodulation theorem proving system. Term rewriting is at the core

Biological Control of Alfalfa Blotch Leafminer (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in Ontario: Status and Ecology of Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Eulophidae) 20 Years After Introduction [PDF]
Two European parasitoid species were released in Ontario during the late 1970\u27s to control the alfalfa blotch leafminer, Agromyza frontella (Rondani) (Diptera: Agromyzidae). One of these, Dacnusa dryas (Nixon) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), rapidly became

Mouse pre‐implantation development involves a transition from totipotency to pluripotency. Integrating transcriptomics, epigenetic profiling, low‐input proteomics and functional assays, we show that eight‐cell embryos retain residual totipotency features, whereas cytoskeletal remodeling regulated by the ubiquitin‐proteasome system drives progression ...
