By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Self-healing and repair of concrete structures: COST action CA15202 SARCOS and lessons learnt from FP7 project HEALCON [PDF]
, 2018 The appearance of small cracks in concrete can result in a loss of performance and functionality in the long term. Smart self-healing materials are developed as preventive solutions to avoid the need for extensive repair works.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Kilogram‐Scale Crystallogenesis of Halide Perovskites for Gamma‐Rays Dose Rate Measurements
Advanced Science, 2021 Gamma‐rays (γ‐rays), wherever present, e.g., in medicine, nuclear environment, or homeland security, due to their strong impact on biological matter, should be closely monitored. There is a need for simple, sensitive γ‐ray detectors at affordable prices.

Real-scale testing of the efficiency of self-healing concrete [PDF]
, 2015 After several years of research in the Magnel Laboratory (Belgium) to obtain concrete with self-healing properties, the most promising mechanisms were tested on a larger scale. Instead of small mortar samples with self-healing properties, real-scale self-

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...
