The vestibule ocular reflex (VOR), in which cerebellum is intimately involved to produce compensatory eye movements during head motion to stabilize retinal image. The VOR is under adaptive control whose gain (eye velocity/head velocity) can be modified by visual-vestibular mismatch stimuli. It exhibits frequency selectivity in which largest gain change is observed at the training frequency. Currently, we demonstrate in the goldfish horizontal VOR that the gains of VOR at two different frequencies can be modified in the opposite directions simultaneously: high gain at one frequency, low gain at another. We test the mechanism of this frequency selective learning if it is due to frequency channels with modifiable gains or learning of waveform per se.

Electrochemically converting nitrate (NO ) to value-added ammonia (NH) is a complex process involving an eight-electron transfer and numerous intermediates, presenting a significant challenge for optimization. A multi-elemental synergy strategy to regulate the local electronic structure at the atomic level is proposed, creating a broad adsorption energy landscape in high-entropy alloy (HEA) catalysts. This approach enables optimal adsorption and desorption of various intermediates, effectively overcoming energy-scaling limitations for efficient NH electrosynthesis.

Patients with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF) produce viscid mucus in the respiratory tract and therefore suffer from chronic biofilm infections in their lungs and paranasal sinuses.

Intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) has garnered increasing attention in recent years. The prevalence of IPFD is relatively high and associated with factors such as obesity, age, and sex. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying IPFD remain unclear, with several potential contributing factors, including oxidative stress, alterations in the gut microbiota, and hormonal imbalances.

Background: Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins participate in tumor formation and metastasis by acting on the α-subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins. The specific effect of RGS, particularly , on the progression of gastric cancer (GC) is not yet clear.
Aim: To explore the role and underlying mechanisms of action of in GC development.
