Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on Eu-doped aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glass made using a melt-quenching method, employing various analytical techniques like X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectroscopy to examine its properties.
- - Researchers observed that europium (Eu) ions were reduced in the glass prepared in air, and the intensity of their emission spectra changed depending on the incident beam wavelength.
- - The investigation also included an analysis of the fluorescence lifetimes of Eu ions and discussed energy transfer processes and emission mechanisms related to these ions within the glass.
Hair cells play key roles in hearing and balance, and hair cell loss would result in hearing loss or vestibular dysfunction. Cellular and molecular research in hair cell biology provides us a better understanding of hearing and deafness. Zebrafish, owing to their hair cell-enriched organs, have been widely applied in hair cell-related research worldwide.

Hereditary hearing loss caused by defective hair cells is one of the most common congenital diseases, whose nosogenesis is still unclear because many of the causative genes remain unidentified. Claudins are one kind of transmembrane proteins that constitute the most important components of the tight junctions and paracellular barrier and play important roles in neurodevelopment. In this study, we investigated the function of in morphogenesis and auditory function of the hair cell in zebrafish.

Sex-determining region Y box 2 (Sox2), expressed in neural tissues, plays an important role as a transcription factor not only in the pluripotency and proliferation of neuronal cells but also in the opposite function of cell differentiation. Nevertheless, how Sox2 is linked to motor neuron development remains unknown. Here, we showed that Sox2 was localized in the motor neurons of spinal cord by hybridization and cell separation, which acted as a positive regulator of motor neuron development.

- Transparent glasses co-doped with Er3+, Tm3+, and Yb3+ were created using various alkaline earth fluorides (MgF2, CaF2, SrF2, BaF2) alongside nano-glass-ceramics with only BaF2.
- The study focused on the thermal stability and up-conversion emission properties, revealing that increasing the mass of bivalent cations shifts the UV cutoff band towards shorter wavelengths.
- Emission colors can be fine-tuned by altering the type of alkaline earth cations, particularly with Mg2+, while emission intensity is enhanced by transforming the glass through heating or increasing the amount of alkaline-earth fluorides.
