Comparison of self-ligating Damon3 and conventional MBT brackets regarding alignment efficiency and pain experience: A randomized clinical trial [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects, 2019 Background. Self-ligating brackets might be more efficient than conventional appliance systems during the initial alignment stage of orthodontic treatment due to reduced frictional resistance. This study aimed to compare the alignment efficiency and pain

Self-aligning universal beam coupler
Optics Express, 2013 We propose a device that can take an arbitrary monochromatic input beam and couple it into a single-mode guide or beam. Simple feedback loops from detectors to modulator elements allow the device to adapt automatically to any specific input beam form. Potential applications include automatic compensation for misalignment and defocusing of an input beam,

Self-aligned nanoislands nanobeam bandedge lasers
Optics Express, 2017 We propose and demonstrate a novel one-dimensional nanobeam bandedge laser constituted by self-aligned nanoisland quantum-well (QW) structures. The formation of self-aligned InGaAsP nanoislands sandwiched between two InP claddings is the result of selective removal of QW through wet-etching processes.

Detecting Repetitions and Periodicities in Proteins by Tiling the Structural Space [PDF]
, 2013 The notion of energy landscapes provides conceptual tools for understanding the complexities of protein folding and function. Energy Landscape Theory indicates that it is much easier to find sequences that satisfy the "Principle of Minimal Frustration ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

ConSole: using modularity of contact maps to locate solenoid domains in protein structures. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundPeriodic proteins, characterized by the presence of multiple repeats of short motifs, form an interesting and seldom-studied group. Due to often extreme divergence in sequence, detection and analysis of such motifs is performed more reliably on

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.

Self-alignment of a compact large-area atomic Sagnac interferometer [PDF]
, 2012 We report on the realization of a compact atomic Mach-Zehndertype Sagnac interferometer of 13.7 cm length, which covers an area of 19 mm(2) previously reported only for large thermal beam interferometers.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...
