Functional fibrous membranes with high mechanical properties are intensively developed for different application fields. In this study, to enhance moisture and air permeability without compromising mechanical strength, a facile float-surface modification strategy is employed to fabricate Janus fibrous membranes with distinct hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity using the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fibrous membranes. By coating one side of the HDPE fibrous membranes with polydopamine (PDA) and a superhydrophilic polyelectrolyte, the obtained Janus HDPE fibrous membranes demonstrate an excellent water transmission rate (577.

Despite significant advancements in achieving high recanalization rates (80%-90%) for large vessel occlusions through mechanical thrombectomy, the issue of "futile recanalization" remains a major clinical challenge. Futile recanalization occurs when over half of patients fail to experience expected symptom improvement after vessel recanalization, often resulting in severe functional impairment or death. Traditionally, this phenomenon has been attributed to inadequate blood flow and reperfusion injury.

The study found a significant causal relationship between coffee intake and obsessive-compulsive disorder, showing a negative correlation. There was no causal relationship between coffee intake and other mental disorders. The sensitivity analysis test found no pleiotropy affecting the results, and no single nucleotide polymorphism had a major impact on the robustness of the results, indicating that the results are stable and reliable.

Objective: This study aims to investigate how the E3 ubiquitin ligase LITAF influences mitochondrial autophagy by modulating MCL-1 ubiquitination, and its role in the development of epilepsy.
Methods: Employing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze brain tissue from epilepsy patients, along with high-throughput transcriptomics, we identified changes in gene expression. This was complemented by in vivo and in vitro experiments, including protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, western blotting, and behavioral assessments in mouse models.
