Wheat straws-derived hierarchical porous carbon as electrode material for supercapacitor

Discover Electronics
Hierarchical porous carbon materials hold great potential in electrochemical energy storage, yet their efficient fabrication still faces numerous challenges. Herein, we successfully prepared hierarchical porous carbon materials with high specific surface

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

FEBS 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.

Assessing The Characteristics of Coastal Neighbourhoods That Influence Flood Susceptibility in Kosofe, Nigeria

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development
As climate change continues to exacerbate weather patterns, flood susceptibility has become an increasingly pressing global concern. The susceptibility to floods is influenced by many contextual factors; as such, characterizing coastal neighbourhoods for

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Clinically actionable pharmacogenomic variants for anticancer therapy in Nigeria: first comprehensive variant profiling in underrepresented Nigerian cohorts

BMC Medical Genomics
Background Advances in pharmacogenomic research have ushered in a new era of precision medicine in cancer care. However, evidence on the effects of pharmacogenomic variants on anticancer drug efficacy and safety in the Nigerian population is scarce. As a

Gender Dimensions of Farmer Extension Research Linkages in Agricultural Innovation Systems in Nigeria

The Gender Truth Journal
This study examined the gender dimensions of Farmer–Extension–Research linkages within the Nigerian Agricultural Innovation System (AIS), specifically addressing the "gender-neutral" fallacy that permeates agricultural policy. Despite contributing 60–80%

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Monetary benefits of preventing childhood lead poisoning with lead-safe window replacement [PDF]

Previous estimates of childhood lead poisoning prevention benefits have quantified the present value of some health benefits, but not the costs of lead paint hazard control or the benefits associated with housing and energy markets. Because older housing

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the
