Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Investigating the Performance of Metal Surfaces Modified by Laser on the Efficiency of Water Harvesting from Humid Air [PDF]

Water Harvesting Research
The population growth and consequently lack of fresh water resources, are the main concerns of developed communities. Providing water from air humidity is an efficient, clean, and sustainable solution that can supply sweet and fresh water. In this study,

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Biomimetic cellulose-based films for humidity-driven soft actuation and water harvesting [PDF]

Materials Advances
Moisture-responsive mechanisms are widespread in nature, particularly in plants exhibiting hygroscopic motion. Inspired by these systems, recent research has focused on designing materials that replicate humidity-driven movements for various applications.

GelMA‐based 3D spheroids recapitulate transcriptomic and functional hallmarks of myeloid sarcoma

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
GelMA 5% hydrogels support the formation of myeloid leukemia spheroids that recapitulate MS‐specific features, including G1 arrest, apoptosis, and ECM‐driven transcriptomic reprogramming. The 3D model mimicked soft‐tissue‐like stiffness and oxygen conditions, and transcriptomic convergence with primary MS samples confirmed its utility as a preclinical ...

Assessing the feasibility and sustainability of fog water harvesting as an alternative water resource

Scientific Reports
Iran is experiencing an escalating freshwater crisis due to factors such as population growth, drought, and inadequate water resource management. Atmospheric water, which is six times the volume of all global rivers, presents an untapped potential.

An Experimental Study of the Application of Cooling Water in Taking Heat from a Thermoelectric Cooler Used in Extracting Water from Humid Air [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering
Humid air is one of the rich sources of water, especially in desert areas. One of the ways to extract water from humid air is to cool it down to a dew point in order to condense and collect water.

Identification and characterisation of calcitonin receptor isoforms expressed in glioblastoma derived glioma stem and U‐87 MG cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma cells express calcitonin receptor variants (CT receptor isoforms) that may help them survive stress. Using qPCR, transcript‐specific long‐read nanopore sequencing, immunofluorescence co‐localisation and comparative sequence analysis, this study identifies a novel alternatively spliced CALCR transcript that encodes the CTb receptor isoform ...
