Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

FROM ACCESS TO OUTCOMES: HOUSING POLICY AND THE CONSTRAINTS OF INTEGRATION AMONG FORCIBLY DISPLACED PERSONS FROM NAGORNO-KARABAKH

open access: yesBanber Erevani Hamalsarani. Sots'iologia
Housing policy is widely framed as a key mechanism of socio-economic integration in contexts of forced displacement; however, theoretical debates increasingly distinguish between processes and outcomes, challenging the assumption that formal access ...

Image completion via transformation and structural constraints

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Image and Video Processing, 2020
Image completion is an approach to fill a damaged region (hole) in an image. In this study, we adopt a novel method which can repair a target region with structural constraints in an architectural scene. An objective function that consists of three terms

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.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

The Impact of Additive Manufacturing Constraints and Design Objectives on Structural Topology Optimization

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
To analyze the impact of different objective functions and additive manufacturing (AM) constraints on structural topology optimization, it is necessary to perform an in-depth comparative study.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Structural constraints identified with covariation analysis in ribosomal RNA. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Covariation analysis is used to identify those positions with similar patterns of sequence variation in an alignment of RNA sequences. These constraints on the evolution of two positions are usually associated with a base pair in a helix.
