The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Seismic Response Characteristics of Arch-Type Siphon Bridge Structure Under Pulse-Type Fault-Crossing Ground Motions

CivilEng
Fault-crossing ground motions, characterized by velocity pulses, permanent fault dis-placement, and non-uniform support excitation associated with fault rupture, may significantly affect the seismic performance of siphon bridges crossing active faults ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

InSAR-Based Structural Health Monitoring Within an Active Caldera: The Case Study of the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium

Buildings
Satellite Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) provides spatially distributed displacement measurements that can support the monitoring of civil structures and infrastructures without permanent on-site instrumentation. However, for structures

Numerical Simulation of Piles in a Liquefied Slope Using a Modified Soil–Pile Interface Model

Applied Sciences, 2023
The liquefaction of soil surrounding a pile significantly affects the dynamic interaction between the soil and the pile. In particular, liquefaction of the sloping ground can induce permanent deformation and a bending moment on the pile due to the ...

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Seismic performance analysis of frame beams-reinforced slope under different earthquake intensities

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
As a new slope reinforcement method, the prefabricated prestressed anchor cable frame has been used in engineering. However, its seismic performance still needs to be studied deeply.

Permanent ground displacement across earthquake faults, landslides and natural slopes

Procedia Structural Integrity, 2018
Abstract Permanent ground displacement analysis methods, as very important aspect of the seismic dynamic analysis is explained in the paper. A methodology for probabilistic hazard assessment of permanent displacement across natural slopes and landslides caused by earthquake rupture is presented, compatible with regions with low to moderate seismicity,

Effects of IGFBP4 deficiency on human preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation through the IGF1R/AKT pathway

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 knockdown (KD) impairs preadipocyte proliferation and is associated with IGF1R protein downregulation and attenuated AKT phosphorylation. The mechanisms by which IGFBP4 KD influences the IGF1R/AKT signaling pathway involve newly synthesized proteins and lysosomal degradation pathways. Created in BioRender.

Transverse Horizontal Load on Buried Pipes due to Liquefaction-Induced Permanent Ground Displacement

Soils and Foundations, 2003
This paper investigated the transverse horizontal load on buried pipes due to liquefaction-induced permanent ground displacement in the horizontal direction. The focus of study was on the maximum load. For this purpose, liquefaction-induced permanent ground displacement in areas behind quay walls and in inland sloping ground areas was reproduced in a ...
