Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Enhancement of the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of epoxy-based bamboo nanofiber nanocomposites [PDF]

, 2018
Epoxy-based nanocomposites were prepared by incorporating 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7%, 1%, and 2% cellulose nanofibers (CNF) through a hand lay-up technique. The influence of the CNF as a reinforcement material on the morphology, and the physical, mechanical, and ...

Comparative Investigation of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Some Wood Species in Different Climatic Conditions

Drewno
In this study, samples of oriental beech (Fagus orientalis L.), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), and alder (Alnus glutinosa L.), which are widely used in furniture production and other sectors of the woodworking industry, were comparatively examined under ...

Physical and Mechanical Properties of Rocks

, 2010
Since early antiquity dimension stones have been used as building materials due to their natural beauty and availability, and the diversity of their applications has increased ever since. As any other building material, dimension stones today have to fulfill the physical and technical requirements demanded by architects.

PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF JOJOBA SEEDS [PDF]

Journal of Soil Sciences and Agricultural Engineering, 2012
A study was carried out to measure some of the most important physical and mechanical properties of freshly harvested jojoba seeds at initial moisture content of about  7 % ±1 (d.b).The studied physical  properties included principal dimensions of jojoba

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

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.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS 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

Physical and Mechanical Properties and Damage Mechanism of Sandstone at High Temperatures

Applied Sciences, 2023
The physical and mechanical properties of rocks change significantly after being subjected to high temperatures, which poses safety hazards to underground projects such as coal underground gasification. In order to investigate the effect of temperature on the macroscopic and microscopic properties of rocks, this paper has taken sandstone as the ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS 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 ...
