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 ...

Associations between plasma total homocysteine, blood pressure stages and pulse wave velocity in Chinese rural community population

, 2015
The aim of the study was to examine the associations among plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and blood pressure (BP) stages and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV) in a Chinese rural community population.

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

Pressure dispersion pad use allows patients to kneel comfortably after total knee arthroplasty

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics
Purpose This study aimed to clarify the contact pressure at which patients with difficulty in kneeling after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) feel pain and the contact pressure at which kneeling can be performed after using a pressure dispersion pad ...

Equivalent simulation method for total pressure distortion of ship inlet

Frontiers in Energy Research
According to the use of marine gas turbines, inlet distortion is caused by the bending of the compressor inlet port. The total pressure distortion is the external stability reduction factor that has the greatest impact on the engine’s aerodynamic ...

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.

A novel approach to mapping load transfer from the plantar surface of the foot to the walls of the total contact cast: a proof of concept study

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2012
Background Total contact casting is regarded as the gold standard treatment for plantar foot ulcers. Load transfer from the plantar surface of the foot to the walls of the total contact cast has previously been assessed indirectly.
