3D Cellular Solar Crystallizer for Stable and Ultra‐Efficient High‐Salinity Wastewater Treatment

Advanced Science
Recent developed interfacial solar brine crystallizers, which employ solar‐driven water evaporation for salts crystallization from the near‐saturation brine to achieve zero liquid discharge (ZLD) brine treatment, are promising due to their excellent ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

A study of consumer willingness to adopt two-dimensional anthropometric measurement systems

Frontiers in Computer Science
Online shopping has become common, but fitting clothes purchased online remains a challenge for both consumers and merchants. Two digital solutions are available: virtual fitting to try on clothes or using a 2D anthropometric measurement system to select

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.

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.

Aging with AI companionship: the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing the mental wellbeing of older adults

Frontiers in Public Health
IntroductionWith the intensification of global population aging, mental health problems among older adults have become increasingly prominent. As an important innovative approach in smart eldercare, artificial intelligence (AI) has been gradually applied

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.
