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.

Correlation of microseismic and chemical properties of brittle deformation in Locharbriggs sandstone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The time-dependent properties of ceramic materials such as rocks depend both on preexisting cracks and chemical properties acting at their tips. We have examined the direct effect of chemical processes on the growth of a crack population by carrying out ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Size effect on the high strain rate micro/meso-tensile behaviors of pure titanium foil

open access: yes, 2021
The influence of size effect on deformation behaviors at quasi-static strain rate has been widely studied in recent years. However, there is little research about size effect on deformation behaviors of metal foils at high strain rate. To clarify how the

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Investigation of the mechanical behavior of kangaroo humeral head cartilage tissue by a porohyperelastic model based on the strain-rate-dependent permeability

open access: yes, 2015
Solid–interstitial fluid permeability,is significant to the strain-rate-dependent mechanical behavior of humeralhead(shoulder)cartilage.Due to anatomical and biomechanical similarities to that of thehumanshoulder,kangaroos present a suitable animal ...

Strain-Rate-Dependent Phase Transition Mechanism in Polybutene1 during Uniaxial Stretching: From Quasi-Static to Dynamic Loading Conditions

open access: yes, 2022
With the assistance of an ultrafast time-resolved synchrotron radiation wide-angle X-ray diffraction technique and a homemade hyphenated high-speed tensile apparatus, structural evolutions in the crystalline domain of polybutene-1 (PB-1) are elucidated ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Determining the effect of strain rate on the fracture of sheet steel [PDF]

open access: yes
A key challenge for the automotive industry is to reduce vehicle mass without compromising on crash safety. To achieve this, it is necessary to model local failure in a material rather than design to the overly conservative criteria of total elongation
