Gait kinetics in individuals with scoliosis: a systematic review and meta analysis by Fateme Khorramroo, Reza Rajabi, Seyed Hamed Mousavi

“…These findings support the need for braces with dynamic pressure redistribution to address uneven loading, alongside rehabilitation strategies (e.g., symmetry-focused gait training specially mediolateral GRF) to improve functional outcomes. Future longitudinal studies should evaluate whether correcting these kinetic deviations mitigates secondary complications like joint degeneration.…”

Dynamic soil water retention properties: Exploring the interplay of moisture states and soil structure dynamics in a compacted Andosol by Sebastián Bravo Peña, Loes vanSchaik, José Dörner, Jos vanDam

“…Abstract The influence of soil structure dynamics on spatiotemporal variability in soil water flows and distribution is generally omitted in hydrological modeling across scales. Soils like Andosols exhibit important structural dynamics, which affects the accurate representation of soil water distribution and solute transport. …”

Interrogation of the protein-protein interactions between human BRCA2 BRC repeats and RAD51 reveals atomistic determinants of affinity. by Daniel J Cole, Eeson Rajendra, Meredith Roberts-Thomson, Bryn Hardwick, Grahame J McKenzie, Mike C Payne, Ashok R Venkitaraman, Chris-Kriton Skylaris

“…The primary mode of interaction between BRCA2 and RAD51 is through the BRC repeats, which are ∼35 residue peptide motifs that interact directly with RAD51 in vitro. Human BRCA2, like its mammalian orthologues, contains 8 BRC repeats whose sequence and spacing are evolutionarily conserved. …”

Enhancing the Cellular Robustness of Cyanobacteria to Improve the Stability and Efficiency of Bio-Photovoltaics by Xiangyi Yuan, Xuejing Xu, Xuemin Gao, Xiangxiao Liu, Bo Liang, Guodong Luan, Xuefeng Lu

“…This study took an important cyanobacteria chassis strain, <i>Synechococ elongatus</i> PCC 7942, as the model organism and explored the impact of physiological robustness optimization on its performance as a bio-photovoltaic functional unit. In this work, two types of BPV systems, namely the suspension mode and the biofilm attachment mode, were assembled to evaluate the electricity-generating activity of <i>Synechococcus</i> cells. …”

Natural Defense Mechanisms of the Human Brain against Chronic Ischemia by A. V. Sergeev, S. S. Stepanov, V. A. Akulinin, A. V. Mytsik

“…In consequence, the impact of inhibitory CC interneurons on excitatory neurons was likely to enhance. Conclusion. In chronic ischemia, the human brain is anticipated to respond to damage to some cells via compensatory excitatory and inhibitory neuronal reorganization directed towards its natural defense against excitatory damage and towards better conditions for compensatory recovery of the structure and function of CC.…”

A model for the early identification of sources of airborne pathogens in an outdoor environment. by Jeroen P G van Leuken, Arie H Havelaar, Wim van der Hoek, Georgia A F Ladbury, Volker H Hackert, Arno N Swart

“…For validation, we used results from abortion notifications, voluntary (2008) and mandatory (2009) bulk tank milk sampling at large (i.e. >50 goats and/or sheep) dairy farms, and non-systematic vaginal swab sampling at large and small dairy and non-dairy goat/sheep farms. In addition, we performed a two-source simulation study.<h4>Results</h4>Hotspots--areas most likely to contain the actual source--were identified at early outbreak stages, based on the earliest 2-10% of the case notifications. …”
