Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Associations between quality of life, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour : an examination of continuous and bout measures of activity and sedentary behaviour from the Walk 2.0 trial

open access: yes, 2015
Objective: The health benefits of physical activity participation and minimising sedentary behaviours are well known. As well, evidence exists for the relationship between physical activity and health-related quality of life.

Effects of task-specific training on motor activity, cognitive function, and quality of life among individuals with Parkinson’s disease: a quasi-experimental pilot study

open access: yes
Introduction The second most prevalent neurological condition in adults over 50 years is Parkinson’s disease (PD). Individuals with PD(IwPD) experience motor and non-motor symptoms during disease progression.

The determination of the specific activity of plasma glycerol

open access: yes, 1982
A method for the determination of the specific activity of plasma glycerol is described. Anionic contaminants are first removed from deproteinized plasma by anionic exchange resins (treated plasma).

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Let’s get physical : exploring the perceptions of physical activity participation and counselling among Australian medical students

open access: yes, 2017
Physicians have been identified as important promoters of physical activity (PA) – a modifiable risk factor for a range of chronic diseases. Evidence suggests, however, that physicians may not always be equipped to provide PA counselling due to a lack of

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS 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

The microbiome in human skin aging

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.
