Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

Bnt05G007257, a Novel NAC Transcription Factor, Predicts Developmental and Synthesis Capabilities of Fiber Cells in Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.)

Agronomy, 2023
NAC transcription factors are one of the largest transcription factor families in plants, and they play a key role in the growth and development of a secondary cell wall. Despite the fact that ramie is well-known for its high fiber yield, the role of NAC

Maritime pine PpMYB8 directly co-regulates secondary cell wall architecture and the associated Phe-biosynthesis pathway [PDF]

, 2018
Plants rely on the biosynthesis of L-Phenylalanine as building block for the synthesis of proteins but also as precursor for a tremendous range of plant-derived compounds essential for its grown, development and defense.

The toughness of secondary cell wall and woody tissue [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1997
The ‘across grain’ toughness of 51 woods has been determined on thin wet sections using scissors. The moisture content of sections and the varying sharpness of the scissor blades had little effect on the results. In thin sections (< 0.6 mm), toughness rose linearly with section thickness.

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Vortex formation and instability in the left ventricle

, 2011
We study the formation of the mitral vortex ring during early diastolic filling in a patient-specific left ventricle (LV) using direct numerical simulation. The geometry of the left ventricle is reconstructed from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data of

Finding New Cell Wall Regulatory Genes in Populus trichocarpa Using Multiple Lines of Evidence. [PDF]

, 2019
Understanding the regulatory network controlling cell wall biosynthesis is of great interest in Populus trichocarpa, both because of its status as a model woody perennial and its importance for lignocellulosic products.

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

Temporal and spatial distribution of pectin, β(1–4)-galactan, xylan and lignin during differentiation of living fibres in young shoots of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de wit

BMC Plant Biology
Background Living xylem fibres play important physiological and mechanical functions in trees. Despite a significant role of secondary cell wall chemical composition in performing these functions, little information is available on the developmental ...

Properties of chemically and mechanically isolated fibres of spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.). Part 1: Structural and chemical characterisation [PDF]

, 2017
Single fibres of spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) were isolated both chemically and mechanically from a solid wood sample. Mechanical isolation was carried out using very fine tweezers to peel out fibres, thereby taking advantage of the low shear ...
