Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new ionic liquid additive based on piperidine that helps prevent the formation of lithium dendrites in batteries.
- The piperidine cation creates an electrostatic shield, while the bromine anion enhances battery efficiency by lowering overpotential.
- This method substantially boosts the cycling performance of lithium-oxygen batteries, leading to better and longer-lasting energy storage.

Article Synopsis
- Infection involves the persistence of bacteria and chronic gastritis, marked by infiltration of mononuclear cells in the gastric mucosa.
- Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) has both pro-colonization and pro-inflammatory effects in this context, with higher levels found in infected gastric tissue, correlating with bacteria colonization and gastritis severity.
- ANGPTL4 influences immune responses by interacting with specific cell receptors to modulate inflammation, suggesting that targeting its pathways could offer new treatment strategies for infection-related gastritis.
Objective: Regulated in development and DNA damage responses-1 (REDD1) is a conserved and ubiquitous protein, which is induced in response to multiple stimuli. However, the regulation, function and clinical relevance of REDD1 in Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis are presently unknown.
Approach: Immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR and Western blot analyses were performed to examine the levels of REDD1 in gastric samples from H.
Ehrlichia chaffeensis is an obligately intracellular bacterium that resides and multiplies within cytoplasmic vacuoles of phagocytes. The Ehrlichia-containing vacuole (ECV) does not fuse with lysosomes, an essential condition for Ehrlichia to survive inside phagocytes, but the mechanism of inhibiting the fusion of the phagosome with lysosomes is not clear. Understanding the ECV molecular composition may decipher the mechanism by which Ehrlichia inhibits phagosome-lysosome fusion.
