Fruit cell culture as a model system to study cell wall changes during strawberry fruit ripening [PDF]
, 2016 Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa, Duch.) fruit is characterized by its fast ripening and soft texture at the ripen stage, resulting in a short postharvest shelf life and high economic losses.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Metabolism of soluble sugars in 4 varieties of banana, and activity of associated enzymes [PDF]
, 2008 Changes in amounts of sucrose, hexoses (glucose and fructose), and in activities of Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS), Sucrose synthase (SuSy) (sucrose hydrolytic way), Neutral Invertase (NIV) and Acid Invertase (AIV) were studied during development and ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Comparative study on freeze-dried lactic cheese starters and ripening cultures for the production of camembert cheese : a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Food Technology, Massy [i.e. Massey] University, Albany, New Zealand. [PDF]
, 2013 Background and Methodology The key to success in producing cheeses is the performance of the starter cultures (Parente and Cogan, 2004). Storage of freeze-dried cheese cultures at refrigeration and ambient temperature or higher provides convenience ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.
