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

FEBS 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 ...

Melt‐Supported Strain Localization at Eclogite‐Facies Conditions Triggered by Syn‐Metamorphic Strength Inversion

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
In convergent high‐pressure settings dominated by dry mafic rocks, strain has been proposed to be predominantly localized in eclogite. However, the processes initiating strain localization, accommodating strain and rheological consequences remain to be ...

Strain localization in reduced-order asymptotic homogenization

Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, 2019
A reduced-order asymptotic homogenization-based multiscale technique that can capture damage and inelastic effects in composite materials is proposed. This technique is based on a two-scale homogenization procedure where eigenstrain representation accounts for the inelastic response and the computational efforts are alleviated by a reduction-of-order ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

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 ...

Aging‐Induced Ductile‐Brittle‐Ductile Transition in High‐Entropy Alloys and its Implications

Advanced Science
Temper embrittlement, characterized by a dramatic loss of ductility within a narrow temperature window, is ubiquitous in conventional alloys but is not reported in compositionally complex or high‐entropy alloy systems. Here, an unexpected ductile–brittle–

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Signatures of Plastic Instabilities and Strain Localization in Acoustic Emission Time-Series

Metals
Acoustic emission (AE) is a powerful tool for investigating the intermittency of plastic flow by capturing elastic waves generated by dislocation rearrangements under load. This study explores the correlation between AE and plastic instabilities, such as
