Surface processes in mountainous proglacial areas: Quantitative assessments and their accuracy

Учёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2022
This article presents a fundamental review of the most common contemporary methods used for quantitative assessment of geomorphological processes and surface transformation in proglacial areas. Our research is particularly relevant due to the significant

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.

Improving the applicability of quantitative ecological risk assessment tools-understanding demand-side changes

, 2010
Quantitative ecological risk assessment (ERA) methods are the tools of choice for many natural resource management agencies and practitioners. However, a number of researchers and practitioners have recently highlighted that the application of ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Beyond net zero climate targets: a research agenda for absolute environmental sustainability assessment to support decisions at different scales

Environmental Research Letters
Recent years have seen a wave of net zero targets for greenhouse gas emissions. These represent translations of the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to well below 2 °C to targets for central actors, such as countries, cities and companies.

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 ...

Molecularly generated rat hepatitis E virus strains from human and rat show efficient replication in a human hepatoma cell line

Virus Research
The hepatitis E virus (HEV) can cause acute and chronic hepatitis in humans. Whereas HEV genotypes 1–4 of species Paslahepevirus balayani are commonly found in humans, infections with ratHEV (species Rocahepevirus ratti) were previously considered to be ...
