The human gut microbiome across the life course
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Entropy, 2017 The traditional slope stability analysis used the Factor of Safety (FS) from the Limit Equilibrium Theory as the determinant. If the FS was greater than 1, it was considered as “safe” and variables or parameters of uncertainty in the analysis model were ...

The Evaluation of the Functional Capacity of the Cylindric Pre-Stressed Tanks
Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2010 This paper approaches the problem of diagnosing the degradation and the safety estate in exploatation of the cylindrical tanks made out of pre-prestressed concrete, affected by execution errors, especially generated by the design non-observance ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

THE EXPOSITION OF EFFECTIVE PRE-STRESSING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES
Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2015 A method of estimation of the exposition of effective pre-stressing of reinforced concrete structures that takes the anisotropy, nonlinearity, and non-equilibrium of force resistance of damages into account is presented.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
