Article Abstract
Zeolites of type ferrierite are exploited as a host system for monitoring the evolution of guest concentration (methanol) in nanoporous host materials upon adsorption. Additional transport resistances at the crystal surface have been removed so that uptake is exclusively controlled by the diffusion resistance of the pore space. Since the crystal shape deviates from a simple parallelepiped, the primary imaging data do not immediately reflect true local concentrations. A simple algorithm is developed which overcomes this complication. The determined transient concentration profiles ideally comply with the requirements for the application of the Boltzmann-Matano integration method for determining diffusivities. The resulting diffusivities (along the direction of the "10-ring channels") are found to exceed those along the 8-ring channels by three orders of magnitude.

Psilocybin has shown promise for alleviating symptoms of depression and is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN), a condition that is characterised by persistent cognitive inflexibility. Considering that enhanced cognitive flexibility after psilocybin treatment is reported to occur in individuals with depression, it is plausible that psilocybin could improve symptoms of AN by breaking down cognitive inflexibility. A mechanistic understanding of the actions of psilocybin is required to tailor the clinical application of psilocybin to individuals most likely to respond with positive outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The document discusses the importance of understanding dynamic wetting behaviors of droplets on surfaces for industrial chemical processes, focusing on the precursor film that forms during complete wetting.
- A new monochromatic laser interference microscope was developed to observe the 3D shape of the precursor film in real-time, revealing its characteristics with high resolution and rapid time intervals.
- The study found that the precursor film for silicone oil on a specific substrate showed decreasing spreading velocity over time, contributing valuable data to understand transient wetting dynamics.

The endosomal system provides rich signal processing capabilities for responses elicited by growth factor receptors and their ligands. At the single cell level, endosomal trafficking becomes a critical component of signal processing, as exemplified by the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors. Activated EGFRs are trafficked to the phosphatase-enriched peri-nuclear region (PNR), where they are dephosphorylated and degraded.

This has been achieved using a vacuum capable setup which includes an Infra-Red Microscope (IRM) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) Spectrometer. By utilizing IR light and FTIR spectroscopy, this method can be used to describe the behavior of low concentrations of relatively fast molecules inside zeolitic crystals as an alternative to chromatographic pulse methods.

Background: Defining how epigenetic information is established in the germline during fetal development is key to understanding how epigenetic information is inherited and impacts on evolution and human health and disease.
Results: Here, we show that Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 is transiently localized in the nucleus of mouse fetal germ cells, while DNA methylation is removed from the germline. This coincides with significant enrichment of trimethylated lysine 27 on histone 3 near the nuclear lamina that is dependent on activity of the essential PRC2 catalytic proteins, Enhancer of Zeste 1 and/or 2.
