Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Let’s get physical : exploring the perceptions of physical activity participation and counselling among Australian medical students

open access: yes, 2017
Physicians have been identified as important promoters of physical activity (PA) – a modifiable risk factor for a range of chronic diseases. Evidence suggests, however, that physicians may not always be equipped to provide PA counselling due to a lack of

open access: yesBritish Journal of General Practice, 2010
Davies and Garbutt wrote an important and commendable editorial on exercise prescription;1 however, there are some fundamental issues raised requiring clarification and further consideration. First, when measured objectively, a staggering 95% of the adult population (UK and US) do not meet the minimum recommended levels of physical activity to confer ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
