Structural and thermodynamic analyses of a novel β‐1,2‐glucan binding mode in the ABC transporter solute‐binding protein Chy400_4166 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cyclic β‐1,2‐glucan (CβG)‐associated solute‐binding protein of type I ABC transporter was originally identified in Chloroflexus aurantiacus, a phototrophic bacterium. Crystal structures in complex with CβGs revealed unique binding modes that are fundamentally distinct from that of the short β‐1,2‐glucooligosaccharides‐binding protein.

Small Bowel Lesions and Bleeding Risk in Hemodialysis Patients: A Narrative Review

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal bleeding is very common among hemodialysis patients. This high bleeding risk is caused by uremic platelet dysfunction, vascular fragility, intradialytic hemodynamic instability, and widespread antithrombotic therapy.

Diagnostic Impact of Two‐Dimensional Shear Wave Elastography for Liver Fibrosis: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Two‐dimensional shear wave elastography demonstrated strong correlation with magnetic resonance elastography and high diagnostic accuracy for liver fibrosis across stages in 744 patients with chronic liver disease, supporting its role as a reliable non‐invasive tool for fibrosis assessment.

Global Interns or Learners of Japanese?: American Interns’ Negotiation of Positioning Across Orders of Indexicality in Japanese Workplaces

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid Japan's internationalization efforts, foreign employees are positioned as global English‐speaking talent while simultaneously facing expectations to conform to Japanese linguacultural norms. This study examines how such tensions are negotiated through the narratives of two interns—one African American and one Vietnamese American—in ...

Contrasting population genetic structures of congeneric coastal flounders associated with different early life histories

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine fish species are likely to exhibit little genetic differentiation among populations due to their high dispersal potential during early life stages and migratory nature. However, recent studies have increasingly reported intraspecific genetic differentiation resulting from species‐specific ecological traits, environmental factors, and ...

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.
