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

Energy utilization in fluctuating biological energy converters
Structural Dynamics, 2016 We have argued previously [Szoke et al., FEBS Lett. 553, 18–20 (2003); Curr. Chem. Biol. 1, 53–57 (2007)] that energy utilization and evolution are emergent properties based on a small number of established laws of physics and chemistry.

Information processing using three-qubit and qubit-qutrit encodings of noncomposite quantum systems
, 2016 We study quantum information properties of a seven-level system realized by a particle in an one-dimensional square-well trap. Features of encodings of seven-level systems in a form of three-qubit or qubit-qutrit systems are discussed.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Gene co-expression network analysis reveals common system-level properties of prognostic genes across cancer types [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2014 Prognostic genes are key molecules informative for cancer prognosis and treatment. Previous studies have focused on the properties of individual prognostic genes, but have lacked a global view of their system-level properties. Here we examined their properties in gene co-expression networks for four cancer types using data from 'The Cancer Genome Atlas'

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Effect of a Magnetic Field on the Dipole Echo in Glasses with Nuclear Quadrupole Moments
, 2009 The effect of a magnetic field on the dipole echo amplitude in glasses at temperatures of about 10 mK caused by nonspherical nuclei with electric quadrupole moments has been studied theoretically.

System‐level changes following invasion caused by disruption of functional relationships among plant and soil properties [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2015 The ecological impacts of invasive plants have served to justify the cost of their management, which is estimated to exceed $1 billion annually in the US alone. However, our understanding of the ecological impacts of most invasive plants is extremely limited, and when known, interpretation is confounded with varied measurements and methods.
