Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Convex Quadratic Programming for Computing Geodesic Distances on Triangle Meshes

Mathematics
Querying the geodesic distance field on a given smooth surface is a fundamental research pursuit in computer graphics. Both accuracy and smoothness serve as common indicators for evaluating geodesic algorithms.

Local adaptivity to inhomogeneous smoothness. 1. Resolution level [PDF]

, 1994
The problem of nonparametric estimation of functions of inhomogeneous smoothness is considered. The goal is to define the notion of local smoothness of a function ƒ(·), to evaluate the optimal rate of convergence of estimators (depending on this local ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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.

New Smoothness Indicator Within an Active Flux Framework

CoRR
In this work, we introduce a new smoothness indicator (SI), which is capable of detecting ``rough'' parts of the solutions computed by active flux (AF) methods for hyperbolic (systems of) conservation laws. The new SI is based on measuring the difference between the two sets of solutions (either cell averages and point values or cell averages on ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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 ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Assessment of the reliability of operated sections of highways

International Journal of Advanced Studies
Background. The main objective of this study is to develop a methodology for checking the actual reliability of road surfaces based on the dynamics of changes in pavement smoothness, estimated vehicle speed, and estimated service life.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...
