Multiobjective Engineering of Fibrin-Selective Thrombolytic Proteases with Enhanced Biocatalytic Efficiency and Inhibition Resistance

Abstract Thrombolytic enzymes represent an important class of proteolytic biocatalysts for medical applications, yet currently used FDA-approved variants, including alteplase and tenecteplase, remain limited by suboptimal catalytic efficiency, off-target activity, and susceptibil...

The non-indigenous copepod Pseudodiaptomus marinus Sato, 1913 in an Eastern Mediterranean coastal area: day–night pattern and genetic characterization

Abstract The continuously growing number of Non-Indigenous Species (NIS) in marine ecosystems poses a modern threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, which calls for studies to extend beyond the initial recording to how these species evolve and adapt to their new environ...

Infrared Thermal Imaging and Blood and Faecal Cortisol Measurements for Stress Assessment in Rabbits During Blood Sampling

Background: This study evaluated physiological responses to repeated handling and blood collection in laboratory rabbits using infrared thermography, serum cortisol, and faecal cortisol metabolites (FCMs), and assessed responses in non-handled rabbits housed in the same room. Met...

Integration or stratification? Cumulative advantage and prestige homophily in the CEEPUS inter-university network

Abstract International student mobility is often framed as an integrative policy instrument, yet mobility systems frequently display durable inequalities and core–periphery structures. This study examines whether a regionally bounded program outside Western Europe’s historical ac...
