A native chemical chaperone in the human eye lens [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Cataract is one of the most prevalent protein aggregation disorders and still the biggest cause of vision loss worldwide. The human lens, in its core region, lacks turnover of any cells or cellular components; it has therefore evolved remarkable mechanisms for resisting protein aggregation for a lifetime. We now report that one such mechanism relies on

The use of trade data in the analysis of global phosphate flows [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this paper we present a new method to trace the flows of phosphate from the countries where it is mined to the countries where it is used in agricultural production. We achieve this by combining data on phosphate rock mining with data on fertilizer use and data on international trade of phosphate-related products.

An allosteric model of the inositol trisphosphate receptor with nonequilibrium binding [PDF]
Physical Biology, 11(5):056001, 2014, 2013 The inositol trisphosphate receptor (IPR) is a crucial ion channel that regulates the Ca$^{2+}$ influx from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cytoplasm. A thorough study of the IPR channel contributes to a better understanding of calcium oscillations and waves.

Accelerated Bone Healing via Electrical Stimulation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Electrical stimulation significantly impacts bone healing by enhancing osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and vascularization through calmodulin/calcineurin/NFAT signaling. It also boosts macrophage function and cell migration, presenting a comprehensive approach to accelerating bone repair.

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

FABP4 as a Mediator of Lipid Metabolism and Pregnant Uterine Dysfunction in Obesity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Obesity during late pregnancy contributes to uterine smooth muscle dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study identifies fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) as a key player in the process, mediating excessive fatty acid uptake, lipid accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in myometrial cells. FABP4 could be a novel uterine

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.Using CO2‐rich polluting gases in greenhouse plant cultivation has proven to be a promising technique for stimulating plants while reducing emissions to the atmosphere. The use of an experimental biofilter proves to be effective in retaining most of the toxic particles. The alteration of physiological and metabolic parameters shows an adaptation of the
