Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

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.

A new set of metrics and framework to assess the colonization potential of riverscapes by wind-dispersed plant species

Scientific Reports, 2023
Quantifying the potential of a braided riverscape to be colonized by a plant species is essential for assessing the ecological state of the river and provides an important basis for nature conservation planning and the implementation of restoration ...

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.

Clinical relevance of MRI-informed motor progression phenotypes in early Parkinson’s disease

Scientific Reports
Parkinson’s disease (PD) exhibits significant variability in disease progression, making individual trajectory prediction challenging. Previously, we defined motor progression phenotypes based on longitudinal OFF-medication changes in the Movement ...

THE METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CONSERVATION DATA FOR STUCCO ARTIFACTS

Ochrona Dziedzictwa Kulturowego, 2019
Some 90 Roman stucco fragments, coming from the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, underwent in the conservation-restoration process within the Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione ed il Restauro (ISCR) laboratories in Matera. Before the conservation

Effects of Wind–Water Erosion and Topographic Factor on Soil Properties in the Loess Hilly Region of China

Plants, 2023
Wind and water erosion processes can lead to soil degradation. Topographic factors also affect the variation of soil properties. The effect of topographic factors on soil properties in regions where wind and water erosion simultaneously occur remains ...
