Dietary fibre blend improves gut health in patients with irritable bowel syndrome following a low FODMAP diet: a randomised, double-blind control trial

A diet low in FODMAP may negatively affect the gut microbiota of some Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients, despite alleviating symptoms. This pilot study comprehensively explores the effects of a 3-week ur gut® supplementation on gut microbiota, gut health, dietary intake, sleep, mental health and quality of life (...

NMR Structure and Dynamics of the Starfish Three-Finger Protein Lystar5

The NMR data confirmed that Lystar5 adopts a classic "three-finger" fold stabilized by six disulfide bonds, providing the first detailed structural and dynamic characterization of an echinoderm TFP.

Position-dependent friction in protein folding from a GLE derived with a non-stationary localized projection distribution

The Generalized Langevin Equation (GLE) is an integro-differential equation of motion for a general observable of a many-body system and is rigorously derived using the projection operator formalism. In the standard derivation, a stationary canonical phase space distribution is used for the projection. Here, we derive...

A Peculiar Phospholipid-Binding Specificity and Cell Death-Related Properties of Tubic (Nicotiana tabacum Tubby-like F-Box Protein 8)

Proteins possessing the Tubby domain (Tubby-like proteins, TLPs) are widespread in plants and represented by protein families. Although the function of TLPs is frequently associated with plant response to stresses, the mechanisms of their action are largely unknown. The recently demonstrated interaction of Tubic (Nicot...

Design of a high-affinity IL-21 decoy receptor as a novel therapeutic strategy for autoimmune disorders

Elevated levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin 21 (IL-21) contribute to the progression of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by binding to its receptor (IL-21R) and activating detrimental signaling pathways in immune cells. Consequently, we developed a recombinant decoy receptor protein designed to com...

Niche specialization and prevalence of comammox Nitrospira in the alkaline sediments of thermokarst lakes on the Tibetan Plateau

Complete ammonia-oxidizing (comammox) Nitrospira are recognized as key players in the nitrogen cycle, yet their ecological roles in extreme environments remain poorly understood. Here, we show that comammox Nitrospira occupy distinct ecological niches in Tibetan Plateau thermokarst lakes (pH 7.5–10.2) using stable isot...

Strain-Dependent Cross-Neutralization of Closely Related Asian-Lineage Zika Viruses by Dengue-Immune Sera

Dengue-induced immunity differentially neutralizes closely related ZIKV strains, with generally stronger activity against P6-740, suggesting that viral genetic variation may influence cross-neutralization outcomes.

Validation of Aptamer–Protein Interactions by Biolayer Interferometry: A Study of 88 Candidate Molecules

Local fitting returns internally consistent KD for data incompatible with a 1:1 model; it is proposed isotherm verification and antibody validation of every preparation as minimal requirements.

Editorial: Cellular metabolism, the immune system, and oncogenesis: opportunities for drug discovery and development

Nearly a century after Otto Warburg first described a unique phenomenon whereby tumour cells prefer the inefficient glycolytic pathway for energy generation (Warburg, 1956), the phenomenon has continued to aid researchers in exploring the tumour ecosystem, including tumour initiation, progression and targeting. Further...

Crystal Structure of the Ancient Domain of Chicken IMPACT Reveals an Evolutionarily Conserved Candidate Functional Surface in the IMPACT/YigZ Family

The crystal structure of the Ancient domain of chicken IMPACT (GgIMPACTAncient) is determined, providing the first crystallographic view of a metazoan IMPACT Ancient domain and a structural framework for testing the biochemical function of this evolutionarily conserved module.
