Article Abstract

The mounting global energy demand urges surplus electricity generation. Due to dwindling fossil resources and environmental concerns, shifting from carbon-based fuels to renewables is vital. Though renewables are affordable, their intermittent nature poses supply challenges. In these contexts, aqueous flow batteries (AFBs), are a viable energy storage solution. This study tackles AFBs' energy density and efficiency challenges. Conventional strategies focus on altering molecule's solubility but overlook interface's transport kinetics. We show that triggering electrostatic forces at the interface can significantly enhance the mass transport kinetics of redox active molecules by introducing a powerful electrostatic flux over the diffusional flux, thereby exerting a precise directionality on the molecular transport. This approach of controlling the directionality of molecular flux in an all iron redox flow battery amplifies the current and power rating with approximately 140 % enhancement in the energy density.

Magnetic-field enhancement of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) represents a promising route toward more efficient alkaline water electrolyzers, yet its origin remains debated due to overlapping effects of mass transport and reaction kinetics. Here, we present a general experimental strategy that employs strong forced convection to suppress uncontrolled transport arising from natural diffusion and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. Using polycrystalline Au electrodes, we show that this approach resolves subtle OER variations under controlled flow and field conditions.

Methamphetamine is a highly addictive psychostimulant with significant neurobiological consequences, yet strain-dependent differences in its effects remain poorly understood. This study investigated behavioral and molecular differences in Swiss-Webster and C57BL/6 mice following methamphetamine exposure. Swiss-Webster mice exhibited greater behavioral sensitivity to methamphetamine compared to C57BL/6 mice, as demonstrated by lower peak doses required to elicit locomotor stimulation and conditioned place preference.

Drug-induced liver injury is a major cause of acute liver failure. Crizotinib is a first-line treatment for patients with cellular-mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (c-MET), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1)-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Although some patients treated with crizotinib experience hepatic adverse effects, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

GABA (g-aminobutyric acid) transporter 3 (GAT3) is primarily found in glial cells and is essential for regulating GABA homeostasis in the central nervous system by mediating GABA uptake. Consequently, GAT3 has emerged as a significant therapeutic target for the treatment of epilepsy. In this study, we present the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of GAT3 bound to its substrate GABA, the selective inhibitor SNAP-5114, and in the substrate-free state.
