Mechanisms of IgE‐mediated food allergy and the role of allergen‐specific B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Food allergy arises when allergen‐specific B cells preferentially produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against harmless foods. This article explains the mechanisms driving IgE‐mediated reactions, highlights the central role of these B cells, and discusses how natural tolerance (NT) and oral immunotherapy (OIT) can reshape allergic immune responses.

Investigating the population structure of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri. Which molecular markers to use to distinguish between low polymorphic bacterial populations? : [P-96] [PDF]

, 2010
Comprehensive knowledge of pathogen population structures is crucial to understand the epidemiology and history of infectious diseases, but such data is largely unavailable for plant pathogenic bacteria.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Integration ATAC‐Seq and RNA‐Seq Analysis of Mammary Placodes in Erhualian and Bamaxiang Pigs Identified Candidate Genes Influencing Pig Teat Number Variation

Evolutionary Applications
Teat number is an important economic trait in pigs, affecting piglet health and survival. While numerous GWAS have identified candidate genes for teat number in Duroc, Landrace, and Large White pigs, the causal genes remain unclear, largely due to a lack

Does bounded rationality lead to individual heterogeneity? The impact of the experimentation process and of memory constraints [PDF]

In this paper we explore the effect of bounded rationality on the convergence of individual behavior toward equilibrium. In the context of a Cournot game with a unique and symmetric Nash equilibrium, firms are modeled as adaptive economic agents through ...

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.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Identification of a locus on Agropyron cristatum chromosome 6P that interacts with wheat genes to produce yellow–green leaves

BMC Plant Biology
Background Wide hybridization is crucial for broadening the genetic basis of common wheat. Agropyron cristatum (2n = 4x = 28, PPPP), a wild relative of wheat, harbors numerous favorable genes for genetic improvement.
