Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Long-term improvement of urban wastewater treatment efficiency following biological modernization in a Baltic Sea region

Discover Water
The improvement of urban wastewater treatment systems remains a key priority across Europe in order to achieve the long-term objectives of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC and reduce nutrient loading to the Baltic Sea basin.

Algae-supplemented anaerobic biofilters enable nutrient recovery from agricultural runoff and atmospheric carbon capture

Chemical Engineering Journal. Green and Sustainable
Nutrient pollution by agricultural runoff causes eutrophication in surface water bodies. However, nutrients can be recovered and used as biofertilizer.

An analysis of the performance of an artificial wetland for nutrient removal in solar saltworks

South African Journal of Botany, 2002
A small artificial wetland was constructed through which intake water flowed before entering the initial pond of a solar saltworks. This trial wetland was designed for the removal of excessive nutrients from the water as the system is becoming hypertrophic.

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.
