NaZrSiPO (NZSP) has stimulated considerable attention due to its remarkable ionic conductivity and exceptional chemical/electrochemical stability. However, an unstable electrolyte/electrode interface and large interface resistance severely restricted its practical application. To settle this issue, an interface-targeting integrated sandwich-like NZSP composite electrolyte was constructed by designing an artificial interface layer on both the anode and cathode sides.

Whether and how myelin plasticity, an emerging new form of brain plasticity, is involved in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains unknown. Here, we identify deficits in oligodendrocyte (OL) generation and myelination in the barrel cortex (BC) of the male NL3-R451C-KI mouse model of ASD. These mice also show impaired texture recognition, disrupted gamma neuronal oscillations, and reduced excitability and myelination level in the BC-PV interneuron.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor for osteoporosis, increasing the risk of fractures and poor prognosis. Recent studies suggest that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may play a protective role in bone metabolism. However, limited evidence exists on their effect on osteoporosis incidence in T2DM patients.

Oligodendrogenesis and myelin formation are important processes in the central nervous system (CNS) of jawed vertebrates, underpinning the highly efficient neural computation within the compact CNS architecture. Myelin, the dense lipid sheath wrapped around axons, enables rapid signal transmission and modulation of neural circuits. Oligodendrocytes are generated from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), which are widely distributed in the adult CNS and continue to produce new oligodendrocytes throughout life.

Immunoglobulin T (IgT) is a teleost-specific immunoglobulin discovered to be specialized in mucosal immunity. For fish that live in water throughout their lives, eliciting a local mucosal immune response through immersion immunization is an important and highly suitable way for preventing fish diseases. However, due to the lack of corresponding antibodies against IgT, studies on its immune responses to pathogens and vaccines in commercial fish have largely been limited to rainbow trout.

Owing to the inherently gradual nature of coagulation, the body fails in covalently crosslinking to stabilize clots rapidly, even with the aid of topical hemostats, thus inducing hemostatic failure and potential rebleeding. Although recently developed adhesives confer sealing bleeding sites independently of coagulation, interfacial blood hampers their adhesion and practical applications. Here, we report a covalently reactive hemostat based on blood-imbibing and -crosslinking microparticles.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a neuropathic facial pain disorder characterized by severe stabbing pain along the trigeminal nerve. While its pathogenesis remains unclear, nerve demyelination and inflammation are likely involved. Current research has primarily focused on various blood-based omics approaches, which do not fully capture the lipid alterations occurring during TN progression in brain.

Ribophagy is a selective autophagic process that regulates ribosome turnover. Although NUFIP1 has been identified as a mammalian receptor for ribophagy, its homologues do not exist in yeast and nematodes. Here we demonstrate that Rpl12, a ribosomal large subunit protein, functions as a conserved ribophagy receptor in multiple organisms.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease and is difficult to treat due to its elusive mechanisms. Recent studies have identified a striking association between oligodendrocytes and PD progression, yet how oligodendrocytes regulate the pathogenesis of PD is still unknown. Here, we show that G-protein-coupled receptor 37 (GPR37) is upregulated in oligodendrocytes of the substantia nigra and that prosaposin (PSAP) secretion is increased in parkinsonian mice.

Straw incorporation can improve soil fertility and soil structure. While numerous studies have explored the immediate impacts of straw return on soil properties and crop production, the legacy effects of long-term straw return remain less understood. In this study, the straw returning soil of a continuous 15 years (SS) and non-straw returning soil (NS) were collected from Dahe Experimental Station of Hebei Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences in China.

As traditional lithium-ion batteries near their theoretical limits, the advancement of lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) becomes crucial for achieving higher energy densities. However, uncontrolled ion transport and unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer are key factors inducing lithium dendrite growth, hindering the development of LMBs. Separator modification is an effective strategy to address the challenges of LMBs.

ER-phagy is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, significant gaps persist in our understanding of how ER-phagy and the ER network vary across cell subtypes, tissues, and organs. Furthermore, the pathophysiological relevance of ER-phagy remains poorly elucidated.

Astrocytes derive from different lineages and play a critical role in neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury (SCI). Whether selectively eliminating these main origins of astrocytes in lumbar enlargement could attenuate SCI-induced neuropathic pain remains unclear. Through transgenic mice injected with an adeno-associated virus vector and diphtheria toxin, astrocytes in lumbar enlargement were lineage traced, targeted, and selectively eliminated.

  • Impairment in social communication is a key feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the function of GPR158 in this context hasn't been thoroughly studied.
  • This research shows that removing GPR158 in certain neurons leads to reduced sensitivity to new social experiences in male mice, but their general social behavior remains intact.
  • Restoring GPR158 or activating specific neurons can reverse the social novelty deficits, suggesting that GPR158 may be a potential target for therapies aimed at social disorders.

Lower-grade glioma (LGG) is a common primary brain tumor with a highly heterogeneous clinical presentation, and its prognosis cannot be accurately predicted by current histopathology. It has been found that mitochondria play an important role in hypoxia, angiogenesis, and energy metabolism in glioma, and mitochondrial function may have an important impact on LGG prognosis. The goal of this study was to develop a novel prognostic model based on Mitochondrial-related genes (MRGs).
