Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

BiolinguisticsA growing number of studies indicate that the hippocampus plays an essential role in language processing as well as episodic memory. However, there is no consensus on how it is engaged in both domains and how it connects the two domains.

Theory of Solid-Phase Microextraction [PDF]
Journal of Chromatographic Science, 2000 The main objective of this contribution is to describe the fundamental concepts associated with solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Theory provides insight when developing SPME methods and identifies parameters for rigorous control and optimization. A mathematical model has been developed to understand the principal processes of SPME by applying basic ...

Shock dynamics of phase diagrams
, 2014 A thermodynamic phase transition denotes a drastic change of state of a physical system due to a continuous change of thermodynamic variables, as for instance pressure and temperature.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Density functional theory for chiral nematic liquid crystals
, 2014 Even though chiral nematic phases were the first liquid crystals experimentally observed more than a century ago, the origin of the thermodynamic stability of cholesteric states is still unclear.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Information theory bounds on randomness-based phase transitions
SciPost PhysicsWe introduce a new perspective on the connection between many-body physics and information theory. We study phase transitions in models with randomness, such as localization in disordered systems, or random quantum circuits with measurements.

New phase transitions in Chern–Simons matter theory
Nuclear Physics B, 2016 Applying the machinery of random matrix theory and Toeplitz determinants we study the level k, U(N) Chern–Simons theory coupled with fundamental matter on S2×S1 at finite temperature T. This theory admits a discrete matrix integral representation, i.e. a
