Multiscale patterns of sponge diversity on Western Atlantic coral reefs: insights from the Southern Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Caribbean

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionSponges are increasingly dominant components of coral reefs in the Tropical Western Atlantic, yet patterns of their diversity across spatial scales remain poorly quantified.MethodsWe applied a hierarchical sampling design across 13 reefs and ...

Environmental governance in Southern Europe: the domestic filters of Europeanisation

Environmental Politics, 2010
Over the last two decades, the EU has shown a preference for the replacement of traditional command-and-control patterns of environmental regulation with more cooperative policy schemes in the expectation of improving compliance in member states. But has the EU performed as a ‘governance-shaper’ in member states, such as Spain, Portugal and Greece that

Versatile vector tools for efficient protein screening across multiple expression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A unified vector toolkit enables rapid protein expression screening across E. coli, insect, and mammalian cells. A single primer pair amplifies the target gene, which is inserted into any vector via a standardized interface. This streamlined workflow eliminates repeated cloning steps, accelerating the identification of optimal expression conditions for

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Directed evolution of enzymes at the crossroads of tradition and innovation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An iterative cycle of data‐driven enzyme optimization comprising four stages: genetic diversification of a template enzyme, expression of protein variants, high‐throughput evaluation, and machine‐learning‐guided redesign of the next variant library.

From assembly inference to co-occurrence organization: conservation contexts are associated with gut bacterial variation in the endangered Gymnocypris przewalskii

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionConservation programs increasingly rely on in-situ and ex-situ interventions to prevent the loss of endangered species; however, it remains unclear whether such interventions preserve host-associated microbial organization.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Soil Acidification Reshapes Microbial Trophic Interactions, with Implications for Plant Responses and Ecosystem Functioning in Tea Plantation Systems

Plants
Soil acidification is a widespread consequence of intensive agriculture and represents a major abiotic stress affecting plant performance, nutrient availability, and ecosystem functioning.

Hyperosmotic stress‐induced redistribution of pre‐mRNA cleavage factor I subunits is associated with shifts in alternative polyadenylation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Hyperosmotic stress triggers the relocation of the CFIm complex from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This shift creates a nuclear ‘stoichiometric bottleneck’, limiting CFIm availability for mRNA processing. Consequently, specific mRNAs like NUDT21 and DICER1 undergo targeted 3′UTR shortening, demonstrating how spatial protein dynamics drive rapid ...
