Improving the mechanical characteristics of environmentally friendly concrete using fly ash and brick powder as partial sand replacements [PDF]

Građevinski Materijali i Konstrukcije
Infrastructure and urbanization drive the demand for concrete, which puts pressure on natural resources and jeopardizes the ecosystem. Incorporating recycled materials into concrete can fulfill this demand without sacrificing quality. This study examines

Adiposity rebound and body mass index in Japanese patients with congenital hypothyroidism

Clinical Pediatric Endocrinology
The long-term prognosis of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) has become apparent since the introduction of newborn screening programs; however, the risk of obesity in patients with CH remains unclear. Early adiposity rebound (AR) is one of the predictors of obesity in adults.

Potential selection effects when estimating associations between the infancy peak or adiposity rebound and later body mass index in children [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity, 2016
This study aims to evaluate a potential selection effect caused by exclusion of children with non-identifiable infancy peak (IP) and adiposity rebound (AR) when estimating associations between age and body mass index (BMI) at IP and AR and later weight status.In 4744 children with at least 4 repeated measurements of height and weight in the age ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

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 ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

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.

Exploiting Integrated Demand Response for Operating Reserve Provision Considering Rebound Effects

IEEE Access, 2022
Electricity-driven thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), e.g., air conditioners (ACs), have been widely utilized in demand response (DR) to provide operating reserve for power systems.

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.
