Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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 ...

Direct characterization of the spatial effective refractive index profile in Bragg gratings

, 2005
We propose a pulse response method to directly characterize the phase of the spatial index modulation, including the dc refractive index distribution (distributed phase shift), discrete phase, and chirp of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs).

Underwater acoustic FBMC communication with multiple mode index modulation

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking
In underwater acoustic communication (UWA), there is a significant presence of multipath and Doppler spread. The integration of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with index modulation (IM), utilizing subcarrier index modulation to enhance

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.

Strong modulation instability in a silicon–organic hybrid slot waveguide [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper, we investigate the strong modulation instability (MI) at telecommunication band in a silicon-organic hybrid slot waveguide. The organic material of polymer poly (bis para-toluene sulfonate) of 2, 4-hexadiyne 1, 6 diol (PTS), which has high

Passive Backscatter Communication Scheme for OFDM-IM with Dynamic Carrier Activation

Sensors, 2023
Multicarrier backscattering has been proposed to improve the communication rate, but the complex circuit structure of multicarrier backscattering devices requires more power consumption, resulting in devices far away from the radio frequency (RF) source ...

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.

Wavelet Transform Aided Single-Carrier FDMA With Index Modulation

IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology
Single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is a well-known multiuser transmission method for uplink communications owing to its low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) characteristics. Simultaneously, index modulation (IM) has been widely

Space-Time Multiple-Mode Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing With Index Modulation

IEEE Access, 2017
Multiple-mode orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (MM-OFDM-IM) improves the spectral efficiency of the conventional OFDM-IM scheme by considering multiple distinguishable constellations for signal modulation.

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.
