Systems approaches to human settlements [PDF]

open access: yesPapers of the Regional Science Association, 1977
Regional and urban policies always have consequences for the whole of the national territory, whether or not they were intended to do so. Thus policy makers should have a reasonably good grasp of the structure of human settlement systems and of the nature of the processes that underlie evolving settlement patterns.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Climate-resilient development pathways for urban areas: a multi-dimensional classification framework for India

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
India is projected to have the largest increment of global urban population growth in the coming decades, with its urbanisation trajectory likely to surpass that of China in absolute terms.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Optimization of the Seismic Performance of a Steel-Concrete Wind Turbine Tower with the Tuned Mass Damper

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
To optimize the seismic performance of a new type of steel-concrete tower, a 120 m steel-concrete composite tower model with a tuned mass damper (TMD) was constructed in ABAQUS for simulation analysis.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Microclimate-driven strategies for thermally comfortable university open spaces in cold regions of China

open access: yesScientific Reports
University open spaces are predominantly utilized by students, with outdoor thermal comfort on campus significantly enhancing their physical and mental well-being. This study investigates the thermal perceptions (sensation, comfort, and acceptability) of

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS 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.
