Biological organisms engineer peptide sequences to fold into membrane pore proteins capable of performing a wide variety of transport functions. Synthetic de novo-designed membrane pores can mimic this approach to achieve a potentially even larger set of functions. Here we explore water, solute, and ion transport in three de novo designed β-barrel membrane channels in the 5-10 Å pore size range.

Most research on the use of voice-activated ICTs by older adults has focused on the experiences of individuals living in the community, excluding those who live in long-term care homes. Given evidence of the potential benefits of such technologies to mitigate social isolation and loneliness, more research is needed about their impacts in long-term care home settings.

- The report highlights a community health system's implementation of universal screening and treatment pathways for youth vaping over a 4-year period.
- Data included screening rates, positive tests, referrals, and quit rates among teens based on their demographics.
- Results showed that 73% of teens were screened, 5.2% tested positive, and among those referred, about 31% achieved vaping abstinence, suggesting this model could effectively help other health systems combat teen vaping.
