Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Regulatory mechanisms of hepatocyte PCSK9 expression: translating mechanistic insights into potential nutraceuticals

Chinese Medicine
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a critical regulator of cholesterol metabolism in hepatocytes with profound implications for cardiovascular health. This review explores the intricate regulatory network that controls hepatic PCSK9

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Modelling for Precision Nutrition

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 1997
Abstract This paper discusses the theories behind (and economic implication of) least-cost and maximum-profit feed formulation models. The importance of properly representing biological phenomena in economic models in precisely determining nutrient levels is discussed in the context of maximizing profits for broiler-producing enterprises.

Effects of Reduced Crude Protein Diets with Graded Methionine Supplementation on Growth Performance, Nitrogen Utilization, and Serum Metabolomic Profiles in Growing–Finishing Pigs

Animals
This study evaluated reduced dietary crude protein (CP) with graded methionine (Met) supplementation in growing and finishing pigs. In each phase, 48 crossbred barrows were assigned to four treatments with four replicate pens per treatment and three pigs

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
