Cities can grow without harming lakes: Lake Washington has become less eutrophic despite rapid population growth

open access: yesEcosphere
As cities grow, lakes are often assumed to suffer from increasing non‐point pollution. Many waterbodies have become more eutrophic in recent decades, as expected—but many others became less eutrophic, especially in urban/suburban areas.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Nature parks in the scope of recreation landscapes case study of Degirmenbogazi nature park (Balikesir-Turkey)

open access: yes, 2022
Since the beginning of the 19th century, there has been an increase in leisure time in parallel with the increase in the number of people. The increase in people's spare time has directed them to recreational activities. The economic, social, cultural and societal changes that have arisen due to the increasing urbanization have also changed the ...
