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 ...

Effects of Psychological Stress on Spontaneous Itch and Mechanical Alloknesis of Atopic Dermatitis

Acta Dermato-Venereologica
Atopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic inflammatory skin disease, manifests as an intractable itch. Psychological stress has been suggested to play a role in the onset and worsening of AD symptoms.

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

FEBS 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.

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 ...

Epigenetic mechanisms of stress and depression

Psychiatria Polska, 2019
Etiopatogeneza zaburzeń nastroju, nie jest w pełni poznana. Wśród możliwych przyczyn tych zaburzeń bierze się pod uwagę czynniki genetyczne. Dotychczas nie udało się zidentyfikować mutacji pojedynczego genu odpowiadającego za objawy kliniczne, dlatego w etiologii tych chorób sugeruje się udział mechanizmów epigenetycznych, które polegają na wywołaniu ...

Mechanical regulation of macrophage function - cyclic tensile force inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent IL-1β secretion in murine macrophages

Inflammation and Regeneration, 2019
Mechanical stress maintains tissue homeostasis by regulating many cellular functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, and inflammation and immune responses.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Plants Stress: Salt Stress and Mechanisms of Stress Tolerance

Current Agriculture Research Journal, 2023
A diverse combination of biotic and abiotic pressures makes up the environment that plants naturally inhabit. These pressures cause similarly complicated responses in plants. The purpose of the review is to critically evaluate the effects of various stress stimuli on higher plants with an emphasis on the typical and distinctive dose-dependent responses

Study on stress change law of coal body permeability improvement by mechanical reaming

Meikuang Anquan
Mechanical reaming, as a new type of coal seam pressure relief and permeability enhancement measure, can be widely applied to low permeability gas coal seams. In order to investigate the stress evolution law of mechanical reaming, the stress distribution

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.
