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

Inhibitory effects on IL-13-induced TARC production.
Human PCLS were co-stimulated with 10 nM IL-13 and increasing concentrations of the antagonists a) anti-IL-13 Ab (n = 6), b) anti-IL-4Rα #1 (n = 5), c) anti-IL-4Rα #2 (n = 5), and d) anti-IL-4Rα #3 (n = 4).

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
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.

IL-13 receptor ? 2: a regulator of IL-13 and IL-4 signal transduction in primary human fibroblasts
BACKGROUND: IL-13 and IL-4 share many functional properties as a result of their use of a common receptor complex comprising IL-13 receptor ? 1 (IL-13R?1) and IL-4 receptor alpha (IL-4R?).

Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Objective: The primary goals of immunosuppressive therapy are to prevent graft rejection and to improve graft and patient survival. Long-term maintenance therapy after kidney transplantation includes cyclosporine A (CsA), tacrolimus (FK506), mycophenolic

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
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.

We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
