Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Developing a management framework to position South Africa as a preferred seafarer labour supplier

open access: yesJournal of International Maritime Safety, Environmental Affairs, and Shipping
South Africa’s strategic position along the Cape Shipping Route connects Asia and Europe, with over 30,000 vessels using this corridor annually. Despite the 2014 launch of Operation Phakisa’s Oceans Economy and the Comprehensive Maritime Transport Policy

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

INDICATORS OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE PERCEPTION OF IT AND BUSINESS MANAGERS – A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

open access: yesRACE: Revista de Administração, Contabilidade e Economia, 2015
In this study we sought to identify how the indicators of information technology use can assist in the information technology governance and alignment of organizations through benchmarking. Multiple case studies were conducted in four large organizations

Comparing the paths of Hedgehog release in artificial and natural settings

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hh morphogens require solubilization factors to overcome their tight association with the plasma membrane and signal to distant cells, but the precise functions of these factors are controversial. Here, we use published in vivo observations as the most relevant evidence to test their suggested functions and discuss contradictions and gaps between in ...

Numerical simulation study of dust dispersion patterns from point and line sources in the open-pit coal mine

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Safety
To elucidate the dust diffusion characteristics associated with multiple dust source points during the operational activities of open-pit mines, a model representative of a full-scale open-pit mine was developed.
