A process of rapid repair of dermal-epidermal adherence, as found in experiments with interrupted suction, was investigated electron microscopically. Biopsies in different stages of the process of suction blister formation and of the repair process were studied. Results show that suction blister formation occurs by successive detachment of hemidesmosomes from the basement membrane, and that, after partial separation of the epidermis from the dermis, a rapid regeneration of the dermal-epidermal junction takes place. This regeneration process apparently consists of two steps: realignment of basal cells to the basement membrane accompanied by autophagocytosis of detached hemidesmosomes, and de novo formation of hemidesmosomes. The time required for this structural regeneration corresponds well with the speed of the functional repair of dermal-epidermal adherence measured with the technique of interrupted suction.

K1 channels enable myelinated axons to transmit spikes reliably without spiking ectopically.

Action potentials (spikes) are regenerated at each node of Ranvier during saltatory transmission along a myelinated axon. The high density of voltage-gated sodium channels required by nodes to reliably transmit spikes increases the risk of ectopic spike generation in the axon. Here we show that ectopic spiking is avoided because K1 channels prevent nodes from responding to slow depolarization; instead, axons respond selectively to rapid depolarization because K1 channels implement a high-pass filter.

Background: Based on the low volatility and refractory nature of Tetracycline (TC), excessive use leads to its continuous accumulation in water environments, posing serious risks to the ecological environment and human health. Although a very limited number of nanomaterials capable of simultaneously detecting and removing TC have been fabricated, they generally exist issues associated with a single detection signal ("on" or "off") or low adsorption rates with low adsorption capacities. As a result, it is crucial to develop a reliable technique to achieve ratiometric detection as well as rapid and efficient removal of TC.

Unlabelled: Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 involves several organs, but its basis remains poorly understood. Some infected cells in mice survive the acute infection and persist for extended periods in the respiratory tract but not in other tissues. Here, we describe two experimental models of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection to assess the effect of viral virulence on previously infected cells.

The prevalence of diabetes has increased rapidly in recent years, and many types of therapeutic agents have been developed. However, the main purpose of these drugs is to lower blood glucose levels, and they are not fundamental solutions. In contrast, our research has been aimed at stimulating and inducing β-cell proliferation in vivo and replenishing β-cells.

Although microporous carbons can perform well for CO2 separations under high pressure conditions, their energy-demanding regeneration may render them a less attractive material option. Here, we developed a large-pore mesoporous carbon with pore sizes centered around 20-30 nm using a templated technical lignin. During the soft-templating process, unique cylindrical supramolecular assemblies form from the copolymer template.
