Contribution of channel geometry adjustments to stage variance based on rating-curves in the main stream of the Lancang–Mekong river

Scientific Reports
Extensive dam development and climate change have altered seasonal stage variation patterns, which are critical to residents in the riparian zone along the Lancang–Mekong River.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Impacts of climate change on agricultural water resources and adaptation on the North China Plain

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2017
Climate change is having a considerable impact on the availability of water resources for agricultural production on the North China Plain (NCP), where the shortage of water is currently disturbing the stability and sustainability of agricultural ...

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

Morphological Response to Sub-Seasonal Hydrological Regulation in the Yellow River Mouth: A 1996–2023 Case Study

Hydrology
River flow has historically been the primary force shaping the morphology of the Yellow River estuary. However, since the Xiaolangdi Reservoir began operating in 2000, the hydrological processes reaching the estuary have been significantly modified.

A study of the increase in subsurface freshwater on coral islands by slope seepage control: Experiment and modeling

Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2023
Fresh groundwater lenses are important resources for local inhabitants and ecosystems in coral islands. In view of the complexity of the coral islands, it is necessary to seek the measures of low-cost, effective and less impact on the stability and the ...

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...
