Do enzyme activities during decomposition follow predicted patterns? A test of the conceptual model of litter decay. [PDF]

, 2011
Surprisingly, there remains a paucity of research examining specific interactions between the relationship between microbial community behavior and plant litter chemistry during decomposition.

Lung Cancer in Pulmonary Fibrosis: Tales of Epithelial Cell Plasticity [PDF]

, 2011
Lung epithelial cells exhibit a high degree of plasticity. Alterations to lung epithelial cell function are critically involved in several chronic lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis.

Post-translational flavinylation is associated with diverse extracytosolic redox functionalities throughout bacterial life

eLife, 2021
Disparate redox activities that take place beyond the bounds of the prokaryotic cell cytosol must connect to membrane or cytosolic electron pools.

How innate immunity proteins kill bacteria and why they are not prone to resistance [PDF]

, 2017
Recent advances on antibacterial activity of peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) offer some insight into how innate immunity has retained its antimicrobial effectiveness for millions of years with no frequent emergence of resistant strains. First,

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Extracellular Flux Analysis to Investigate the Impact of NF-κB on Mitochondrial Respiration in Colorectal Carcinoma (CRC)

, 2021
The reprogramming of cell metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. NF-κB transcription factors coordinate the host defense responses to stress, injury, and infection. They also play a central role in oncogenesis, at least in part by regulating cell metabolism and the adaptation to energy stress conditions in various types of cancer, such as colorectal ...

Extracellular Electron Transfer May Be an Overlooked Contribution to Pelagic Respiration in Humic-Rich Freshwater Lakes [PDF]

mSphere, 2018
Humic lakes and ponds receive large amounts of terrestrial carbon and are important components of the global carbon cycle, yet how their redox cycling influences the carbon budget is not fully understood. Here we compared metagenomes obtained from a humic bog and a clear-water eutrophic lake and found a much larger number of genes that might be ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Palmitate-Induced Cell Death and Mitochondrial Respiratory Dysfunction in Myoblasts are Not Prevented by Mitochondria-Targeted Antioxidants

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2014
Background/Aims: Deleterious effects of saturated fatty acids in skeletal muscle cells are well known but their impact on mitochondrial respiration has not been well studied.
