An evolutionarily conserved mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway--the high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway--mediates the hyperosmotic response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A variety of powerful approaches has generated a comprehensive picture of how cells respond to this stress condition. Several presumptive osmosensors on the cell surface recruit and activate downstream signaling components, which regulate the activity of transcription factors to control gene expression.

In euryhaline teleosts, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in seawater (SW)-type chloride cells facilitates apical Cl secretion for SW adaptation, while alternative Cl excretion pathways remain understudied. This study investigates the role of the calcium-activated chloride channel, Anoctamin 1 (ANO1), in the gills of the euryhaline Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) under hyperosmolality and cortisol (CORT) influence. Acclimation to artificial SW, NaCl, mannitol, or glucose significantly upregulated ANO1 and CFTR mRNA expression in gills, unlike urea treatment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential roles of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the development of dry eye disease (DED).
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, derived from corneal tissues of a dry eye mouse model, was processed using the Seurat R program. The results were validated using a scopolamine-induced dry eye mouse model and a hyperosmotic-induced cell model involving primary human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) and immortalized human corneal epithelial (HCE-2) cells.
Linking selection to demography in experimental evolution of active death in a unicellular organism.

Deciphering how natural selection emerges from demographic differences among genotypes, and reciprocally how evolution affects population dynamics, is key to understanding population responses to environmental stress. This is especially true in non-trivial ecological scenarios, such as programmed cell death (PCD) in unicellular organisms, which can lead to massive population decline in response to stress. To understand how selection may operate on this trait, we exposed monocultures and mixtures of two closely related strains of the microalga , one of which induces PCD, to multiple cycles of hyper-osmotic shocks, and tracked demography and selection throughout.

The analysis of geometrical cell shape is fundamental to understand motility, development, and responses to external stimuli. The moment invariants framework quantifies cellular shape and size, although its applicability has not been explored for rod-shaped bacteria. In this work, we use moment invariants to evaluate the extent of cell shape change (projected area and volume) during plasmolysis, as cells are subjected to hyperosmotic shock.

Background: Critical cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia (CCSFH) is a rare postcraniotomy condition in patients with acute supratentorial brain injury, often mistaken for intracranial hypertension. This article aims to enhance awareness of CCSFH by describing its clinical and radiological characteristics.
Methods: Between January 2019 and November 2023, 330 consecutive patients with acute critical brain injury underwent supratentorial craniotomy.
