Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Respiratory mechanics: modelling, measurement and clinical applications—a review

BioMedical Engineering OnLine
The mechanical properties of the airways significantly impact respiration, and estimating respiratory mechanics provides important insights for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Here,

Broadband frequency dependence of respiratory impedance in rats [PDF]

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2005
Past studies in humans and other species have revealed the presence of resonances and antiresonances, i.e., minima and maxima in respiratory system impedance (Zrs), at frequencies much higher than those commonly employed in clinical applications of the forced oscillation technique (FOT). To help understand the mechanisms behind the first occurrence of

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.

On the Passivity Based Impedance Control of Flexible Joint Robots [PDF]

, 2008
In this paper, a novel type of impedance controllers for flexible joint robots is proposed. As a target impedance, a desired stiffness and damping are considered without inertia shaping.

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.

Assessment of bronchodilator response using forced oscillation technique in paediatric asthmatic patients from Central India: A cross-sectional study

Lung India
Introduction: Paediatric asthma diagnosis and monitoring often face challenges due to children’s inability to perform effort-dependent tests like spirometry. The forced oscillation technique (FOT) offers a non-invasive, effort-independent alternative for

Wearable Impedance Pneumography

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2020
Respiratory diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide. The prevalence of sleep apnea, its cardiovascular consequences, postoperative respiratory instability and severe respiratory syndromes further highlight the importance of respiratory monitoring.
