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 ...

Half-linear discrete oscillation theory
Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2000 Oscillatory properties of the second order half-linear difference equation $$\Delta(r_k|\Delta y_k|^{\alpha-2}\Delta y_k)+p_k|y_{k+1}|^{\alpha-2}y_{k+1}=0,$$ where $\alpha>1$, are investigated.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

The Freezing Method for Linear Difference Equations
Journal of Difference Equations and Applications, 2002 The freezing method for ordinary differential systems is extended to difference systems. By virtue of that method, new stability criteria and solution estimates for linear difference systems are derived.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

FEBS 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.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Oscillation criteria for first-order systems of linear difference equations
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2009 In this article, we obtain conditions for the oscillation of vector solutions to the first-order systems of linear difference equations $$displaylines{ x(n+1)=a(n)x+b(n)y cr y(n+1)=c(n)x+d(n)y }$$ and $$displaylines{ x(n+1)=a(n)x+b(n)y+f_1(n) cr

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
