Insect trehalase: Physiological significance and potential applications [PDF]

Glycobiology, 2014
Trehalose, a non-reducing disaccharide, is widespread throughout the biological world. It is the major blood sugar in insects playing a crucial role as an instant source of energy and in dealing with abiotic stresses. The hydrolysis of trehalose is under the enzymatic control of trehalase.

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.

Towards distributed real-time physiological processing in mobile environments [PDF]

, 2012
Physiological monitoring is the practice of using sensors to read, store, process and interpret physiological data from organic beings, including biofeedback signals associated with heart, brain, muscle and other organ activity.

Physiological and behavioral responses to an acute phase response in zebra finches: immediate and short-term effects

, 2014
Activation of the immune system to clear pathogens and mitigate infection is a costly process that might incur fitness costs. When vertebrates are exposed to pathogens, their first line of defense is the acute-phase response (APR), which consists of a ...

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 ...

Accelerated aging as vigor test for sunn hemp seeds

Ciência Rural
: This study aimed to determine the most appropriate method to assess the sunn hemp ( Crotalaria juncea L.) seed vigor in the accelerated aging test. Five seed lots from harvest 2007/2008 were evaluated for germination, vigor and seedling emergence in ...

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

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) for classifying the physiological quality of canola seeds [PDF]

Journal of Seed Science
: The use of high-quality seeds is essential in production systems. NIR spectroscopy, combined with chemometric methods, is a promising, rapid, nondestructive, and easy-to-use tool for assessing seed physiological potential.

Sleep and Neurodegeneration: Examining Potential Physiological Mechanisms

Current Sleep Medicine Reports
The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of potential mechanisms mediating the bi-directional relationship between sleep and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. We provide updates on previously proposed mechanisms and identify new mechanisms particularly concerning how sleep disturbances affect memory-related neural ...

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 ...
