Topographical structures in planting design of living walls affect their ability to immobilise traffic-based particulate matter.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Traffic-generated particulate matter (PM) pollution is a serious threat to human health and the environment, especially in urban settings. Recent studies have revealed the effectiveness of living walls in the reduction of this pollution; these systems ...

Biophilic design and office planting: a case study of effects on perceived health, well-being and performance metrics in the workplace

Intelligent Buildings International, 2020
The philosophy of building ‘lean’ workplaces, to maximise occupant performance, has seen a stripping away of nature within built environments. However, the biophilia hypothesis indicates that a severance in human connection with nature can lead to ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Limited effects of tree planting on forest canopy cover and rural livelihoods in Northern India

Nature Sustainability, 2021
Many countries have adopted large-scale tree planting programmes as a climate mitigation strategy and to support local livelihoods. We evaluate a series of large-scale tree planting programmes using data collected from historical Landsat imagery in the ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

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.

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.
