Influence of early-age behaviour on structural design of sustainable thinner concrete slabs
The load transfer efficiency (LTE) of non-dowelled jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCPs), such as the innovative short slabs, is defined in terms of the cracks that form under the joints at an early age.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Experimental and theoretical studies of corrosion fatigue in a high strength steel. [PDF]
The present work consists of both experimental and theoretical aspects of corrosion fatigue in a high strength steel. Fatigue tests were conducted under fully reversed shear loading in an aerated 0.6M NaC1 solution at pH6, for a silico-manganese ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

On the Short Surface Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior in a Fine-Grained WC-Co Cemented Carbide
In the present study, the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of short surface cracks in a fine-grained cemented carbide with a length of less than 1 mm was investigated.

We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

On a kinked crack model to describe the influence of material microstructure on fatigue crack growth [PDF]
Threshold condition and rate of fatigue crack growth in both short and long crack regime appear to be significantly affected by the degree of crack deflection.
