Insights into the origin of metazoan filopodia and microvilli. [PDF]
, 2013 Filopodia are fine actin-based cellular projections used for both environmental sensing and cell motility, and they are essential organelles for metazoan cells. In this study, we reconstruct the origin of metazoan filopodia and microvilli.

Diversity of FAAL enzymes and prediction of their substrate specificity using FAALPred
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract FAALs (fatty acyl‐AMP ligases) recruit and incorporate fatty acids during the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Their diversity, distribution, and substrate specificity remain poorly understood, which limits functional predictions from sequence data.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.Conventional culture and immunological methods of detecting bacterial water contaminants have some limitations. There are alternative pragmatic methods which are more efficient and faster in the detection of bacteria in water, especially nanosensors. ABSTRACT The complexities of microbial detection and conventional enumeration necessitates the adoption
