Realizing both ultralow breakdown voltage and ultrahigh gain is one of the major challenges in the development of high-performance avalanche photodetector. Here, it is reported that an ultrahigh avalanche gain of 3 × 10 can be realized in the graphite/InSe Schottky photodetector at a breakdown voltage down to 5.5 V. Remarkably, the threshold breakdown voltage can be further reduced down to 1.8 V by raising the operating temperature, approaching the theoretical limit of 1.5 /e, with the bandgap of semiconductor. A 2D impact ionization model is developed and it is uncovered that observation of high gain at low breakdown voltage arises from reduced dimensionality of electron-phonon scattering in the layered InSe flake. These findings open up a promising avenue for developing novel weak-light detectors with low energy consumption and high sensitivity.

Brain ischemia is a major global cause of disability, frequently leading to psychoneurological issues. This study investigates the effects of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) on anxiety, cognitive impairment, and potential underlying mechanisms in a mouse model of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) ischemia. Mice with mPFC ischemia were treated with normal saline (NS) or different doses of 4-AP (250, 500, and 1000 µg/kg) for 14 consecutive days.

A considerable number of individuals are diagnosed with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia. In order to achieve a more complete understanding of the pathophysiology, it is essential to adopt a range of novel approaches and utilize new animal models. This study investigated changes in the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of ion-channels in a newly developed animal model of trigeminal neuropathic pain induced by cervical spinal dorsal horn compression.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 are closely associated with breast cancer progression and apoptosis regulation, respectively. NPY receptors (NPYRs), which are overexpressed in breast tumors, contribute to tumor growth, migration, and angiogenesis.

Patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) present with severe, spontaneous seizures and ataxia. While most patients with DS have variants in the sodium channel Nav1.1 α subunit gene, SCN1A, variants in the sodium channel β1 subunit gene, SCN1B, are also linked to DS.

Voltage-dependence gating of ion channels underlies numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes, and disruption of normal voltage gating is the cause of many channelopathies. Here, long timescale atomistic simulations were performed to directly probe voltage-induced gating transitions of the big potassium (BK) channels, where the voltage sensor domain (VSD) movement has been suggested to be distinct from that of canonical Kv channels but remains poorly understood. Using a Core-MT construct without the gating ring, multiple voltage activation transitions were observed at 750 mV, allowing detailed analysis of the activated state of BK VSD and key mechanistic features.
