Evaluation methods for mechanical biocompatibility of hernia repair meshes: respective characteristics, application scope and future perspectives

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2021
Soft tissue substitutes are subjected to large deformation in vivo, so the matching of deformation behavior between substitute and tissue is a complex but important criterion for soft tissue repair. Hernia repair mesh is a typical soft tissue substitute,

Correlation Analysis and Reconstruction of the Geometric Evaluation Indicator System of the Discrete Global Grid

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021
Although a Discrete Global Grid (DGG) is uniform in its initial subdivision, its geometric deformation increases with the level of subdivisions. The Goodchild Criteria are often used to evaluate the quality of DGGs.

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.

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Structure Preservation and Seam Optimization for Parallax-Tolerant Image Stitching

IEEE Access, 2022
Parallax processing has long been a significant and challenging task in image stitching. In this paper, we study a new hybrid warping model based on multi-homography and structure preservation to achieve accurate alignment of regions at different depths ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.
