Effects of Acoustic Perception on Outdoor Thermal Comfort in Campus Open Spaces in China’s Cold Region

Buildings, 2022
To explore the effects of acoustic perception on outdoor thermal comfort, acoustic perception in five typical open spaces in a campus in China’s cold region with common soundscapes was evaluated by using meteorological measures, sound level devices, and ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS 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 ...

Chromium tolerance mechanisms in Cosmos sulphureus: antioxidant defense and potential role of pectin chelation-based detoxification

BMC Plant Biology
Background Soil chromium (Cr) contamination is escalating, and phytoremediation is optimal for its abatement. Cosmos sulphureus, an annual Asteraceae herb widely used in landscape greening and ecological restoration, has strong tolerance to heavy metals,

Metabolic analysis of the regulatory mechanism of sugars on secondary flowering in Magnolia

BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2022
Background Magnolia, a traditional and important ornamental plant in urban greening, has been cultivated for about 2000 years in China for its elegant flower shape and gorgeous flower color. Most varieties of Magnolia bloom once a year in spring, whereas

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Taxonomic status and spatial genetic pattern of Taxus in northern and central China: insights from integrative taxonomy, ecology and phylogeography

BMC Plant Biology
Background Phenotypic, ecological, and genetic differences are crucial for species delimitation and understanding speciation. However, the defining the distribution boundaries and mechanisms driving lineage differentiation of Taxus species in northern ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
