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.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles modulate flowering performance and systemically fortify biochemical defense in chrysanthemum under heat stress

Scientia Horticulturae
Heat stress detrimentally affects the yield and postharvest quality of chrysanthemum, a globally important ornamental crop. This study evaluated the efficacy of foliar-applied zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) as a protective treatment to enhance ...

Biology and Function of miR159 in Plants

Plants, 2019
MicroR159 (miR159) is ancient, being present in the majority of land plants where it targets a class of regulatory genes called GAMYB or GAMYB-like via highly conserved miR159-binding sites.

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.

Discerning protein pools by selective staining with self‐labeling tags

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cell surface proteins have an intra‐ and extracellular pool. Combining genetic fusion to self‐labeling tags that can be addressed with small molecule fluorophores allows separating these pools. We highlight recent developments and techniques for state‐of‐the‐art interrogation of cell surface proteins in the complex tissue setting.

Ammonia thiosulfate in Japanese plum tree thinning [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura
In order to test the use of ammonia thiosulfate (ATS) in the chemical thinning of the Japanese plum tree, a field experiment was conducted throughout the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 crop growing seasons at Ponta Grossa, PR, Brazil.

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Phenotyping Flowering in Canola (Brassica napus L.) and Estimating Seed Yield Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Based Imagery

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Phenotyping crop performance is critical for line selection and variety development in plant breeding. Canola (Brassica napus L.) flowers, the bright yellow flowers, indeterminately increase over a protracted period.

The Timing of Flowering [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2010
The initiation of flowering is a critical life-history trait; plants have presumably evolved to flower at a time of year that ensures maximal reproductive success in a given region. Decades of physiological studies have revealed that flowering is initiated in response to both environmental cues ...

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.
