Mechanical Response of Deep Soft-Rock Tunnels Under Different Rock Bolt Configurations: Model Tests

Buildings
Deep soft-rock tunnels are prone to large deformations and structural damage. This study used the Guanyinping Tunnel as a prototype and conducted 1/50-scale progressive loading model tests under three support configurations: rock-bolt-free, equal-length ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

The effects of hybrid design and post-curing time on the mechanical performance of 3D printed lattice structures

Virtual and Physical Prototyping
To overcome the trade-off between strength and energy absorption capacity inherent in conventional single-topology lattices, a novel hybrid lattice structure, SC-Flu, combining SC (simple cubic) and Flu (fluorite) topologies, was proposed and fabricated ...

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.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

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 ...

Mechanisms of subliminal response priming

Advances in Cognitive Psychology, 2007
Subliminal response priming has been considered to operate on several stages, e.g. perceptual, central or motor stages might be affected. While primes' impact on target perception has been clearly demonstrated, semantic response priming recently has been thrown into doubt (e.g. Klinger, Burton, & Pitts, 2000).
