Two-pore channels and TRP mucolipins are ubiquitous endo-lysosomal cation channels of pathophysiological relevance. Both are Ca-permeable and regulated by phosphoinositides, principally PI(3,5)P. Accumulating evidence has uncovered synergistic channel activation by PI(3,5)P and endogenous metabolites such as the Ca mobilizing messenger NAADP, synthetic agonists including approved drugs and physical cues such as voltage and osmotic pressure. Here, we provide an overview of this coordination.

Retaining the topology of the framework and the metal nodes while judiciously modifying the organic linker constituents presents an opportune avenue to systematically investigate the structure-activity relationship of coordination polymers (CPs). Herein, two functionalized Schiff base ligands, HL1a (1,2-cyclohexanediamine-,-bis(3--butyl-5--dicarboxybenzo--hydroxybenzyl)) and HL2a (1,2-diphenylethylenediamine-,-bis(3--butyl-5--diacarboxybenzo--hydroxybenzyl)), were designed and prepared. In the two ligands, the amine moiety connecting the Schiff base is either 1,2-diaminocyclohexane or the more sterically hindered diphenylethylenediamine, which directly influences the pore distribution in the subsequently synthesized crystalline materials.

Hydrogels are widely employed in tissue engineering for their biomimetic microenvironments. However, the dense crosslink network of hydrogels with matching mechanical properties of soft tissues often restricts cell infiltration and tissue integration. While granular hydrogels enhance host integration through the formation of porous channels between particles, they self-anneal in vivo, thereby limiting porosity and interconnectivity.

Enhancing intrinsic activity and increasing catalytic site density are two widely employed strategies to improve catalytic performance. Although typically considered independently, their interplay remains poorly understood. Here, two UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with distinct catalytic site densities-linker-defective UiO-66L and cluster-defective UiO-66C-are synthesized and systematically compared.

The TWIK-related K channel (TREK-1), a member of the two-pore domain potassium(K2P) family, is characterized as a "leaky potassium channel" and is integral to the maintenance of the resting membrane potential. As the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system, astrocytes play important roles in the development of epilepsy by regulating the release of glutamate and the function of potassium channels. Previous studies have revealed that TREK-1 is involved in a range of neurological diseases, including epilepsy.
