Synthetic fibres and steel fibres in concrete with regard to bond strength and toughness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The ability of fibre reinforced concrete composites to absorb energy has long been recognised as one of the most important benefits of the incorporation of fibres into plain concrete” (Golpalaratham and Gettu 1995).

The diameters of guinea pig auditory nerve fibres: Distribution and correlation with spontaneous rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
In the mammalian auditory nerve physiological recordings revealed that the spontaneous discharge rate of single auditory fibres correlates with the diversity of input-output functions which may be important for intensity discrimination (e.g., Sachs and ...

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

open access: yesFEBS 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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Luxury animal fibres: Part 1: Hair fibres from goats

open access: yes, 2023
Luxury animal fibres, the subject of this book, are related to the niche product area covering low volume big value-added products. Detailed information on luxury animal fibres, is still very limited even though the number of publications on luxury ...

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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Laboratory evaluation of combined effect of jute fibres and rejuvenators on some performance characteristics of asphalt mixture containing reclaimed asphalt

open access: yesRoads and Bridges, 2023
The use of reclaimed asphalt (RA) in asphalt concrete mixtures have achieved economic and environmental benefits and it is important when we want to get in line with sustainable development and circular economy.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Treatment of C.I. Reactive Blue-21 effluent by microcrystalline cellulose grafted with APTES: kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamic study

open access: yesSustainable Environment Research, 2019
The adsorption removal of C.I Reactive Blue 21 (RB-21) dye from aqueous solution by commercial MCC was successfully modified with aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The various physiochemical attributes like initial dye concentration, contact time, solution pH,

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
