The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

A case of knuckle pad syndrome in a middle‐aged man

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2022
Knuckle pads are benign papules, nodules, or plaques overlying joints and typically manifest at the proximal interphalangeal joints (PIPs). They may be confused with other dermatologic or rheumatologic diseases. Treatment options for primary knuckle pads

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Effect of single-bundle autologous hamstring tendon reconstruction combined with braided thread on joint stability and clinical efficacy in patients with posterior cruciate ligament rupture

open access: yesArchives of Medical Science
Introduction Single-bundle autologous hamstring tendon reconstruction is a surgical procedure used primarily in orthopedics. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of using autologous hamstring tendon single-bundle restoration in conjunction ...

Recent research and development in semi-rigid composite joints with precast hollowcore slabs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Composite structure incorporating steel beams and precast hollowcore slabs is a recently developed composite floor system for building structures. This form of composite construction is so far limited to simple beam-column connections.

Keep it SMPL: Automatic Estimation of 3D Human Pose and Shape from a Single Image

open access: yes, 2016
We describe the first method to automatically estimate the 3D pose of the human body as well as its 3D shape from a single unconstrained image. We estimate a full 3D mesh and show that 2D joints alone carry a surprising amount of information about body ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Stress distribution of secondary bending in single-lap bolted joints with dissimilar joining plates and plate types [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Single-lap joints are an important class of bolted joint in the aerospace and civil engineering sectors. This type of joint is preferred as it can reduce weight and hence help to optimize fuel efficiency.
