Partitioning of Space Among Trees in an Old-Growth Spruce Forest in Subarctic Fennoscandia

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
The distribution of space among forest trees is linked to the availability of resources, among-tree competition, and hence forest dynamics. We studied partitioning of horizontal space among trees and related spatial structures in an old-growth Picea ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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.

Compact and Resource Efficient Cities? Synergies and Trade-offs in European Cities

open access: yesEuropean Spatial Research and Policy, 2016
Cities are the main consumers of energy and resources but at the same time are considered as centres for innovation which can provide solutions to unsustainable development.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF INTERNET-TRAFIC CONSUMPTION IN THE MTS NETWORK IN A LARGE CITY (BASED ON KRASNODAR DATA)

open access: yesInterCarto. InterGIS, 2015
For the first time based on the developed technique the authors studied the spatial structure of consumption of the Internet traffic in the MTS network in the territory of a large city - Krasnodar.

Apamin structure and pharmacology revisited

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Apamin is often cited as one of the few substances selectively acting on small-conductance Ca2+-activated potassium channels (KCa2). However, published pharmacological and structural data remain controversial.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Explore the theoretical basis and implementation strategy of low-carbon Urban Community Planning

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Cities carry out various human production and living activities, consume a lot of carbon energy, become the main source of greenhouse gas emissions, and have an increasing impact on the climate.
