First-order logic with metric betweenness – the case of non-definability of some graph classes
AKCE International Journal of Graphs and CombinatoricsThe metric betweenness of a connected graph and arbitrary graphs is FO definable. Moreover, several interesting classes of graphs with strong distance properties are shown to be FO definable using metric betweenness.

Convex geometries yielded by transit functions [PDF]
Opuscula MathematicaLet \(V\) be a finite nonempty set. A transit function is a map \(R:V\times V\rightarrow 2^V\) such that \(R(u,u)=\{u\}\), \(R(u,v)=R(v,u)\) and \(u\in R(u,v)\) holds for every \(u,v\in V\).

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

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.
