The Characteristics of German Natural Park System: A Case in Saar-Hunsrueck Natural Park

Journal of The Japanese Institute of Landscape Architecture, 2003
The aim of this research is to examine the characteristics of German natural park system from the comparative viewpoint with Japanese natural park system. Saal-Hunsruck Natural Park was surveyed as a study area. It was found that German natural park system doesn’t have any regulations for land use although the purpose of natural park is to protect ...

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

FEBS 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

FEBS 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.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

A Study of natural radioactivity in urban parks

HNPS Advances in Nuclear Physics
Urban parks are typically undisturbed natural locations inside metropolitan areas, attracting human recreation activities. The present work focuses on studying the radioactivity levels in urban parks in the metropolitan areas of Athens, Barcelona, and Bucharest to establish a baseline of the overall environmental load and the associated contribution to

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...
