Serum tau levels are increased in patients with hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism may cause cognitive decline and increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the major form of dementia; however, the underlying mechanism of this relationship is unclear. AD is associated with increased serum levels of tau. In this study, we investigated the relationship between serum thyroid hormones (THs) and tau.

Synthesis of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-7 in a Water/Ethanol Mixture and Its Ethanol-Induced Reversible Phase Transition.

Room to breathe: An efficient method for the synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-7 (ZIF-7) in ethanol/water at room temperature is reported. The ZIF-7 undergoes a reverse-phase transition from large pore (lp)-phase to narrow pore (np)-phase under heat treatment and from np-phase back to lp-phase in ethanol solution.
