Household smoke exposure risk and acute respiratory infection among children under five years in sub-Saharan Africa: evidence from the demographic and health surveys

BMC Public Health
Background Exposure to smoke from unclean fuels increases children’s risk of acute respiratory infection (ARI). Although studies have extensively examined the association between the type of cooking fuel used and ARI in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), few have

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 ...

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.

Profit as a predictor variable for environmental sustainability practices (ESPs) of manufacturing companies for achieving green manufacturing in contemporary Ghana

Cogent Economics & Finance
The complex relationship between profit margins and environmental sustainability practices (ESPs) in Ghana’s manufacturing industry is examined in this study. Utilizing information gathered from six manufacturing firms, the study uses regression analysis

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Sustainable Tourism… for Development? [PDF]

Anthropology News, 2017
Not a day goes by without being confronted, one way or the other, with the multiple environmental, societal, and economic challenges that our planet faces. Because it is impossible to tackle all problems at once, the United Nations (UN) has created so-called international observances—special days, weeks, months, years, and even decades that highlight ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This
