The ubiquitin ligase RNF115 is required for the clearance of damaged lysosomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Upon lysosomal rupture, an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF115 translocates from the cytosol to the damaged lysosomal membrane. Moreover, RNF115 depletion impairs the clearance of damaged lysosomes, identifying it as a key regulator of lysosomal quality control.

No-bodies Human Rights. An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Bodies in Human Rights

Utrecht Law Review
One can hardly imagine human rights – aimed to guarantee minimum requirements for a dignified life for all – without human bodies. In legal thinking, however, the corporeal is often remarkably absent, or overshadowed by abstract, disembodied conceptualisations of ‘the’ human being and his (more than her, or their) presupposed autonomy.

Love songs and serenades: a theoretical review of music and romantic relationships

Frontiers in Psychology
In this theoretical review, we examine how the roles of music in mate choice and social bonding are expressed in romantic relationships. Darwin’s Descent of Man originally proposed the idea that musicality might have evolved as a sexually selected trait.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

The social perception of performance enhancement and body modification: A systematic review and meta-analysis on anabolic steroids, tattoos, and cosmetic surgery

Acta Psychologica
To our knowledge, few studies have attempted to explore the social perception of targets engaged in performance enhancement and body modification, and none has done so through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

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.

Making of Virtual Human Body—Virtual Human Body as Communication Interface—

Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY and Applied Human Science, 2005
Virtual Humans play an important role in supporting communication between human beings through their gestures and facial expressions. We are involved in the study of Virtual Humans as communication interfaces to play such a role. Virtual Humans can be classified according to their particular roles with regard to some aspects of communication.

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.

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

FEBS 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 ...
