Formation of litter crusts and its multifunctional ecological effects in a desert ecosystem
Ecosphere, 2018 Desertification is one of the major issues in global environmental change, and it is of great concern to scientists and policy‐makers in the world. Litter crusts can be of great importance for the restoration and management of desert ecosystems.

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.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Circulating microRNA profiles distinguish nonmalignant Lynch syndrome from cancer‐associated Lynch syndrome, sporadic colorectal cancer, and healthy controls. Age‐stratified analysis reveals disease‐specific regulatory states, and a six‐miRNA panel shows concordant separation in an independent colorectal tissue cohort.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis is a gut bacterium linked to bowel cancer. We propose that its toxin acts along two routes: at the cell surface, cutting the adhesion protein E‐cadherin and triggering inflammation; and inside the cell, delivered by bacterial vesicles, switching on NOD1 and cancer stem cell programs.

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This minireview explores fluorination as a key strategy to optimize therapeutic molecules and nanocarriers. By incorporating different fluorinated motifs—from single atoms to linear and branched chains—drug delivery, cellular uptake, and colloidal stability can be improved and fine‐tuned.

Sediment flow paths and associated organic carbon dynamics across a Mediterranean catchment [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Terrestrial sedimentation buries large amounts of organic carbon (OC) annually, contributing to the terrestrial carbon sink. The temporal significance of this sink will strongly depend on the attributes of the depositional environment, but also on the ...

Zairyo-to-Kankyo, 2008 エロージョン・コロージョン現象の複雑な発生機構と紛らわしい用語の定義のために，発電所の配管部に時として発生する「エロージョン・コロージョン」を理解することは非常に難しい．最近，エロージョン・コロージョンの代わりに，FAC (流れによって加速される腐食) という言葉が，発電所に用いられる配管材料の減肉現象として紹介されている．しかしながら，FACは必ずしも良く理解されていないし，エロージョン・コロージョンとも比較がなされていない．そこで，本稿ではエロージョン，エロージョン・コロージョンおよびFAC現象の理解を深め，再確認をするために，まず，エロージョンおよびエロージョン・コロージョンの起源，定義およびこれまでの基礎的な見解についてまとめた．次に，流速と環境の腐食性を軸にし，エロージョン ...
