Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRESSION CURVES OF FIRST AND PSEUDO-FIRST ORDER REACTIONS [PDF]
Química Nova, 2020 The paper presents a simple method of determining iteratively the progression curve asymptote for first and pseudo-first order reactions. For selected student exercises, thus obtained results were compared (see Supplementary Material) with those found by

Heterogeneous catalysis: on bathroom mirrors and boiling stones [PDF]
, 2011 A catalyst is defined as a substance that accelerates a process without undergoing a net change due to that process. Most chemistry students learn about catalysts in the context of chemical reactions, such as the enzymes in biochemistry or the ...

Phase behaviour of colloidal superballs mixed with non-adsorbing polymers [PDF]
, 2018 .: Inspired by experimental work on colloidal cuboid-polymer dispersions (Rossi et al., Soft Matter, 7, 4139 (2011)) we have theoretically studied the phase behaviour of such mixtures.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Pulmonary surfactant and COVID-19: A new synthesis
QRB Discovery, 2022 Chapter 1: COVID-19 pathogenesis poses paradoxes difficult to explain with traditional physiology. For instance, since type II pneumocytes are considered the primary cellular target of SARS-CoV-2; as these produce pulmonary surfactant (PS), the ...

Self-assembly of colloidal hematite cubes: a microradian X-ray diffraction exploration of sedimentary crystals [PDF]
, 2013 The structure of spontaneously formed crystals in the sediments of colloidal hematite (α-Fe2O3) cubes is studied using microradian X-ray diffraction. The hematite cubes possess a superball shape and a permanent magnetic dipole moment, both influencing ...
