FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Incorporating Mooring Dynamics into the Control Design of a Two-Body Wave Energy Converter
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Mooring systems are a critical component of all floating wave energy converter (WEC) systems, yet the impact of amooring system on the WEC dynamics is often neglected during the initial assessment of candidate designs.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Design and Optimization of a Point Absorber for the Mediterranean Sea
Volume 8: Ocean Renewable Energy, 2022 Abstract In the last few years, a wide range of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) have been designed. Among the most interesting technologies for multiple applications, there is the point absorber: if on one hand, these devices guarantee a limited energy production, on the other hand, they ensure good performances, do not require complex ...
