Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.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

Comparison and application of small strain shear moduli from field and laboratory measurements
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019 The small-strain shear modulus plays an important role in the calculations of ground seismic response and deformation in deep excavations. The values of the small strain shear modulus G0 of Shanghai soils by field and laboratory tests are investigated ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Assessment of cardiac strain in small - scale aluminium casting works.
International Journal of Occupational Safety and Health, 2012 Background: The occupational health status scenario in unorganised sector is not impressive. There is a lack of awareness on occupational health and safety issues and manual labour is still obligatory.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.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.

Characterization of Indentation-Induced Pattern Using Full-Field Strain Measurement
, 2011 [[abstract]]In this study DIC-based strain analysis software was successfully developed and its strain resolution lies on the order of 2.3×10-4-3.1×10-4.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

A Modified Strain‐Wedge Model for Small Strain Rigid Piles in Sand
Engineering ReportsThis paper develops a modified strain‐wedge (MSW) model that accounts for the resistance to bending moments caused by the lateral frictional resistance and axial forces of piles in the small‐strain regime in sands and algorithmizes a finite differential ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
