Naturalness and focus points with non-universal gaugino masses [PDF]

Nuclear Physics B, 2010
Relations between the gaugino masses have been shown to alleviate the degree of fine-tuning in the MSSM. In this paper we consider specific models of supersymmetry breaking with gravity mediation and demonstrate that within both GUT and string constructions it is possible to generate these relations in a natural way.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Deciphering the influence of fertilization systems on the Allium ampeloprasum rhizosphere microbial diversity and community structure through a shotgun metagenomics profiling approach

Environmental Microbiome
Background Chemical fertilizer application in agriculture over the years has been a vital instrument to boost agricultural yields and soil fertility, but has threatened the diversity of the rhizosphere microbiomes in the soil.

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Generalized focus point and mass spectra comparison of highly natural SUGRA GUT models

, 2016
Supergravity grand unified models (SUGRA GUTs) are highly motivated and allow for a high degree of electroweak naturalness when the superpotential parameter mu~ 100-300 GeV (preferring values closer to 100 GeV).

Features of Opisthorchiasis in the Natural Focus

Aktualʹnaâ Infektologiâ, 2014
Introduction. One of the most important epidemiological problems in Sumy region — opisthorchiasis. Social and medical significance of the invasion is great due to high incidence of the disease, the development of severe complications. Purpose. To analyze the incidence and determine the parameters of the epidemic process of opisthorchiasis in Sumy ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...
