Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

An evaluation method of open-pit slope stability based on Poset theory
To achieve an objective and reasonable judgment on slope stability, the partially ordered set (Poset) theory is applied to the slope stability evaluation against the engineering background of an open pit slope.

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Effect of the Suction on the Stability of a Silty Sand Slope [PDF]
This paper presents a revision of some of the models that have been proposed to estimate the strength of unsaturated soils. The theoretical results obtained from these models are compared with the experimental results of controlled suction triaxial tests

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Slope stability analysis by using multiple shear strength model [PDF]
Rainfall-induced landslide is a condition where rain water infiltrates into slope causing additional load and loss of shear strength of soil mass and eventually triggers slope failure. It is difficult to determine by applying conventional slope stability

Slope stability evaluation based on set pair cloud model
When the set pair analysis is applied to evaluate slope stability, the connection degree is usually decided by linear function, which can\u27t reflect the actual conditions of the engineering project objectively and comprehensively and neglect the system

Study on cutting high-slope stability evaluation based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and numerical simulation [PDF]
Usijecanje velike kosine je složeni nelinearni sustav koji je slučajan, nejasan i promjenljiv. Procjena njene stabilnosti, uzevši u obzir i kvalitativne i kvantitativne mogućnosti, bitna je u procjeni izbjegavanja velike nesreće.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.
