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.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

lordif: An R Package for Detecting Differential Item Functioning Using Iterative Hybrid Ordinal Logistic Regression/Item Response Theory and Monte Carlo Simulations [PDF]

open access: yes
Logistic regression provides a flexible framework for detecting various types of differential item functioning (DIF). Previous efforts extended the framework by using item response theory (IRT) based trait scores, and by employing an iterative process ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Placement test evidence for differentiated teaching English for specific purposes in a first-year life-science cohort

open access: yesEducational Challenges
Purpose. In Ukrainian universities, first-year English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes are usually formed from academic groups defined by degree programme, not by language level.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Performance-Based Item

open access: yes, 2003
This paper presents the findings of an exploratory item analysis into student performance on two PDP modules and a Scheme module assessed by CBA. The purpose is to investigate if CBA holds the potential to fulfil a diagnostic function over and above

Artificial intelligence-predicted versus observed item performance in medical progress testing: A 3-year comparative study

open access: yesSaudi Journal for Health Sciences
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly used for preexam item analysis, but their predictive validity remains uncertain. Aims: This study aimed to compare AI-predicted item difficulty and discrimination with actual postexam ...
