The use of germinants to potentiate the sensitivity of Bacillus anthracis spores to peracetic acid

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Elimination of Bacillus anthracis spores from the environment is a difficult and costly process due in part to the toxicity of current sporicidal agents.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

There is no Smoke Without Fire: Evaluation of Water eDNA Profile of Yersinia ruckeri to Assess Enteric Redmouth Disease Pathogenesis in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Environmental DNA
In the past couple of decades, applications of environmental nucleic acids (eDNA and eRNA) analysis methods have expanded rapidly into various research fields. Recently, the World Organisation for Animal Health presented guidelines for the use of eDNA as

Environmental Implication of Herbicide Use

Molecules
One of the guiding principles of the sustainable use of herbicides is their targeted action exclusively against weeds, consisting of blocking photosynthesis and synthesis of amino acids and growth regulators.

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

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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.

Monthly eDNA Metabarcoding Data From the Coastal North Sea Area Align With Fish Species‐Specific Life Cycle Events

Environmental DNA
Coastal environments serve as essential nursing, feeding, and spawning grounds for commercially and ecologically important fish species, some of which use nearshore habitats as transitional steps in their ontogenetic migration.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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.

Health, safety, and environmental status of Iranian school: A systematic review

Journal of Education and Health Promotion, 2020
Schools are considered as a first community, which plays an essential role in developing the child's life skills; thus, it is important to provide safety and health in these places.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.
