Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Effect of Alkali Treatment of Nettle Fibers on Oil Absorbency

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2021
Nettle is a cellulosic plant fiber with a reasonably large lumen and they are a cheap, easily renewable source of fibers with the potential for oil absorbency.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Lanolin in implantation of luminous polymer dots for environmental application as metal probes

Scientific Reports
Polymer dots (PDs) have become one of the potential fluorescent nanomaterials in environmental sensing because they are low-toxicity, tunable optical nanomaterials, and are cost-effective.

Extraction and Characterization of Fibers from Water Hyacinth Stem Using a Custom-Made Decorticator

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
In the reported work, the fibers were extracted from water hyacinth plant using a custom-made fiber decorticating machine. The extracted fibers were subjected to aerobic and anaerobic retting, followed by alkali treatment. The fiber yield and the physico-

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Second Near‐Infrared Activatable Nitric Oxide Releasing Nanoactuators for Photothermal Combinational Modulation of Epileptogenic Focus

Small Structures
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), which ablates diseased brain tissues via hyperthermia, has offered novel treatment approach for epilepsy; however, the current LITT protocols still lack ablation selectivity and disease‐modifying efficacy.

Influence of alkali treatment on physiochemical and morphological properties of palmyra fibers

Industrial Crops and Products
As a part of sustainable development in construction, natural fibers are used as reinforcement in cement composites. The degradation of these natural fibers in matrix has led to growing interest among researchers to enhance the fiber properties by ...

Properties of Natural Fibers from the Abaxial Side of Fireweed (Gerbera delavayi) Leaf Blade for Manual Spinning

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2017
Natural plant fibers obtained from the abaxial side of fireweed (Gerbera delavayi) leaf blade were systematically studied. Fireweed fibers were manually dismantled from hot-bath-treated, refrigerated, or untreated leaves and evaluated for different ...

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...
