Article Abstract

We found that betaCaMKII, the predominant CaMKII isoform of the cerebellum, is important for controlling the direction of plasticity at the parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapse; a protocol that induced synaptic depression in wild-type mice resulted in synaptic potentiation in Camk2b knockout mice and vice versa. These findings provide us with unique experimental insight into the mechanisms that transduce graded calcium signals into either synaptic depression or potentiation.

Craniofacial muscles are essential for a variety of functions, including fine facial expressions. Severe injuries to these muscles often lead to more devastating consequences than limb muscle injuries, resulting in the loss of critical functions such as mastication and eyelid closure, as well as facial aesthetic impairment. Therefore, the development of targeted repair strategies for craniofacial muscle injuries is crucial.

Detection of micro- and nanoplastic particles at extremely low concentrations in complex matrices is a critical goal in environmental science and regulatory frameworks. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) offers unique advantages for detecting molecular species in such mixtures, relying solely on their characteristic fingerprints. However, its application for plastic particles has been constrained due to weak analyte-substrate interactions.

Unlabelled: Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the inability of stable and complex joint structures to function as they did, accompanied by inflammation, tissue changes, chronic pain, and neuropathic inflammation. In the past, the primary focus on the causes of joint dysfunction has been on mechanical stress leading to cartilage wear. Further researches emphasize the aging of cartilage and subchondral bone triggered cartilage lesion and osteophyte formation.

Diabetic foot ulcers represent a significant complication of diabetes mellitus, presenting substantial challenges due to their intricate pathogenesis, which encompasses neuropathy, vasculopathy, chronic inflammation, and biofilm-associated infections. Despite considerable advancements in Western medical interventions, including surgical debridement, skin grafting, negative pressure wound therapy, and innovative dressings, these ulcers remain a leading cause of amputation and contribute to a substantial socioeconomic burden. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has emerged as a promising adjunctive therapy, offering multi-targeted mechanisms that address oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, angiogenesis, and microbial resistance associated with diabetic foot ulcers.
