Possibilities and Conditions of Developing Mulberry Silkworm Rearing in Poland, Especially for Purposes Related to the Production of Natural Cosmetics Based on Silk Proteins Obtained from Silkworm Cocoons

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Sericulture is associated primarily with the production of cocoons for textile purposes. However, the widespread availability of synthetic fibers caused a decline in interest in natural fabrics, including silk.

On fibre [PDF]

Abstracts of the Papers Printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London
Abstract The author observes, that, in the mature blood-corpuscle, there is often seen a flat filament, already formed within the corpuscle. In Mammalia, including Man, this filament is frequently annular ; sometimes the ring is divided at a certain part, and sometimes one extremity overlaps the other.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

The deep sea is a major sink for microplastic debris [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2014
Marine debris, mostly consisting of plastic, is a global problem, negatively impacting wildlife, tourism and shipping. However, despite the durability of plastic, and the exponential increase in its production, monitoring data show limited evidence of ...

Plug-in fibre-to-fibre coupler

Electronics Letters, 1974
A technique for coupling multimode fibres together has been demonstrated. The coupling technique exhibits high efficiency, involves no handling of bare fibre, and requires only a simple plugging-in of connectors.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
