Computational Conceptual Design – Typological Exploration Of Spatial Truss Systems Through Optimization

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jonas Warmuth, Pierluigi D'Acunto

Exploring a wide range of relevant design options from the outset is crucial for every sound conceptual design process. Optimization techniques are generally employed to generate well-performing structural design options. However, focusing only on performa ...

Inhibition of CERS1 in skeletal muscle exacerbates age-related muscle dysfunction

Johan Auwerx, Olivier Burri, Xiaoxu Li, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Giacomo Vincenzo Giorgio Von Alvensleben, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Amélia Lalou, Barbara Moreira Crisol

Age-related muscle wasting and dysfunction render the elderly population vulnerable and incapacitated, while underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we implicate the CERS1 enzyme of the de novo sphingolipid synthesis pathway in the pathogenesis ...

Exosomes, microvesicles, and other extracellular vesicles-a Keystone Symposia report

Michele De Palma, Ferdinando Pucci, Qin Zhang

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small, lipid-bilayer-bound particles released by cells that can contain important bioactive molecules, including lipids, RNAs, and proteins. Once released in the extracellular environment, EVs can act as messengers locally ...

Combined Passive and Active Ultrasonic Stress Wave Monitoring of UHPFRC Properties on a Structural Level

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Thomas Schumacher

Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) is becoming popular in designing lightweight and durable structures. UHPFRC structural elements remain crack-free and waterproof under service conditions, significantly improving durab ...

De novo design of protein interactions with learned surface fingerprints

Didier Trono, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Beat Fierz, Priscilla Turelli, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Elisa Oricchio, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Dongchun Ni, Andreas Scheck, Michael Bronstein

Physical interactions between proteins are essential for most biological processes governing life. However, the molecular determinants of such interactions have been challenging to understand, even as genomic, proteomic and structural data increase. This k ...

Type 2 diabetes disrupts circadian orchestration of lipid metabolism and membrane fluidity in human pancreatic islets

Howard Riezman, Jonathan Paz Montoya

Recent evidence suggests that circadian clocks ensure temporal orchestration of lipid homeostasis and play a role in pathophysiology of metabolic diseases in humans, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). Nevertheless, circadian regulation of lipid metabolism in ...

Article Structure and functionality of a multimeric human COQ7:COQ9 complex

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata

Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is a redox-active lipid essential for core metabolic pathways and antioxidant defense. CoQ is synthesized upon the mitochondrial inner membrane by an ill-defined "complex Q" metabolon. Here, we present structure-function analyses of a lipi ...

Second harmonic scattering of water in a biological context

Tereza Schönfeldová

Water is one of the most abundant molecules in the universe. It forms a hydrogen bond network with unique structure and dynamics. Hydrogen bonding is highly relevant to many biological processes including membrane formation, protein folding, adsorption, an ...

Raman microspectroscopy reveals unsaturation heterogeneity at the lipid droplet level and validates an in vitro model of bone marrow adipocyte subtypes

Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Charles Christopher Bataclan, Vasco Ledebur de Antas de Campos, Josefine Catharina Pedersen Tratwal, Daniel Naveed Tavakol

Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) constitute the most abundant stromal component of adult human bone marrow. Two subtypes of BMAds have been described, the more labile regulated adipocytes (rBMAds) and the more stable constitutive adipocytes (cBMAds), which d ...

Water as a contrast agent for imaging interfacial structure and ion transport in giant vesicles

David Roesel

Hydrated lipid bilayer membranes and their asymmetry play a fundamental role in living cells by maintaining and regulating concentration gradients between cells, their environment, and their compartments. They achieve this not only through various channels ...
