What do we want to achieve with Energy Transition? an insight into changing justice, narratives, imaginaries and the case of Sulcis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
openPurpose of this work is to examine people’s narratives of place with a focus on Sense of Place and future imaginaries, based on the assumption that changing imaginaries and identities of place can foster a more effective energy transition.

Valorization of oil-extraction chia seed flour into injection-moulded biocomposites: Influence of plasticizers

open access: yesIndustrial Crops and Products
The valorization of agro-industrial by-products into scalable bioplastics is a key strategy for developing sustainable materials. In this work, chia seed flour (CSF), a by-product of cold oil extraction with medium protein (∼41 wt%) and high carbohydrate

A Just Energy Transition Through the lens of Third World Approaches in International Law

open access: yesOpolskie Studia Administracyjno-Prawne, 2023
The transition to green energy requires an all-hands-on-deck approach because of the effects of climate change on all. However, the nature and type of commitment or responsibilities required towards the transition are to be differentiated due to ...

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 ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Unearthing the reality of ‘Zombie energy systems’ in Africa’s energy transition

open access: yesEnvironmental Research: Energy
Africa’s energy transition is unique and complicated by—among other things—the pervasive presence of ‘Zombie Energy Systems’ (ZES). These are outdated, inefficient, and environmentally harmful energy systems that persist despite being obsolete (e.g.
