Changes in the volume of the intercellular space of the rat cerebral cortex in response to peripheral repetitive stimulation were studied. The volume of the intercellular space and its changes were assessed by a modification of the four-electrode impedance method. The results suggest that evoked electrical activity in the cerebral cortex was accompanied by 3-5% decreases in the volume of the intercellular space.

To select the mycorrhizal seedlings of with excellent Cd-resistance and explore the mechanism of promoting the resistance to Cd stress of , nine species of isolated from different hosts infected to form mycorrhizal seedlings, were cultured in Cd-contaminated soil for three months. We conducted the principal component analysis (PCA) on biomass, root structure, and photosynthesis, and evaluated the Cd tolerance of mycorrhizal seedlings by membership function. The results showed that dry and fresh weight of mycorrhizal seedlings under Cd stress were 1.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are membranous vesicles released from cellular structures through plasma membrane budding. These vesicles contain cellular components such as proteins, lipids, mRNAs, microRNAs, long-noncoding RNA, circular RNA, and double-stranded DNA, originating from the cells they are shed from. Ranging in size from ≈25 to 300 nm and play critical roles in facilitating cell-to-cell communication by transporting signaling molecules.

Nitrogen's impact on corals has been widely studied, but the role of phosphate is often overlooked due to its low concentrations in seawater. Previous studies have suggested that phosphate can penetrate intercellular spaces to reach the extracellular calcifying medium (ECM), where it adsorbs onto skeletal surfaces and disrupts calcium carbonate crystallization, thereby inhibiting skeletal growth. Based on this mechanism, we hypothesized that skeletal growth inhibition depends not only on phosphate concentration but also on total phosphate load (flow volume × concentration).

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the Gas6/TAM receptor system's impact on neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS), focusing on how it relates to demyelination and remyelination processes.
- Researchers analyzed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from various MS patients and healthy controls to measure soluble Gas6/TAM biomarkers and assess brain volume changes over time.
- Findings suggest that elevated levels of Gas6 and its receptors correlate with greater white matter damage and that lower levels of these markers may indicate better remyelination, highlighting their potential role in MS progression.

Small extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a diverse group of lipid-based particles that are ≤200 nm in diameter and contain an aqueous core. EVs have been shown to mediate intercellular communications between a wide array of immune cells; the downstream effects are diverse and have potential implications for the development of novel immunotherapeutic treatments. Despite a high volume of studies addressing the role EVs play in the immune system, our understanding of the crosstalk between T cells and cancer cells remains limited.
