The mechanism for sustained Ca2+ influx activated by G protein-coupled receptors was examined. In Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing recombinant human endothelin type B receptor (ET(B)R) and endogenous P2Y receptor (P2Y-R), endothelin-1 elicited a sustained Ca2+ influx depending on G(q/11 )protein, phospholipase C (PLC), Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK), whereas P2Y-R-induced sustained Ca2+ influx was negligible. Functional studies showed that NHE activation by ET(B)R was mediated via p38MAPK but not G(q/11)/PLC, while that by P2Y-R involves only G(q/11)/PLC/p38MAPK. These results suggest that G(q/11)/PLC-independent NHE activation via p38MAPK plays an important role in ET(B)R- mediated sustained Ca2+ influx.

Green Carbon Dots/CaCO/Abamectin Colloidal Pesticide Formulation for Safer and More Effective Pest Management.
ACS Nano

School of Chemistry and Materials Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, P. R. China.
An ideal green leaf-deposited pesticide formulation should offer advantages such as good water dispersibility, strong foliar affinity, sustained or controlled release of active ingredients, photostability and rain-fastness, minimal nontarget toxicity, use of nontoxic organic solvents, and degradable adjuvants. In line with this objective, we present green preparation of a colloidal pesticide formulation using optimized lysine-derived carbon dots (LysCDs)-modified CaCO (LysCDs/CaCO) particles as the carrier and abamectin (Abm) as the active ingredient. The loading capacity of abamectin in this colloidal pesticide (LysCDs/CaCO/Abm) is 1.

Investigating the potential of novel data mining algorithms (DMAs) for modeling groundwater quality in coastal areas is an important requirement for groundwater resource management, especially in the coastal region of Bangladesh where groundwater is highly contaminated. In this work, the applicability of DMA, including Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), Bayesian Ridge Regression (BRR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), for predicting groundwater quality in coastal areas was investigated. The optuna-based optimized hyperparameter is proposed to improve the accuracy of the models, including optuna-GPR and optuna-BRR as benchmark models.

Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Guangzhou), Guangzhou, Guangdong 511458, China.
Marine mammals have evolved unihemispheric slow wave sleep (USWS), a unique state during which one cerebral hemisphere sleeps while the other remains awake, to mitigate the fundamental conflict between sleep and wakefulness. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. Here, we use a comparative phylogenetic approach to analyze genes associated with light-dependent circadian mechanisms, aiming to reconstruct the evolution of the circadian rhythm pathway in mammals and to identify adaptively changed components likely to have contributed to the development of USWS.

Rationale & Methods: While signaling of cardiac SR by surface membrane proteins (I & I) is well studied, the regulation of mitochondrial Ca by plasmalemmal proteins remains less explored. Here we have examined the signaling of mitochondria and SR by surface-membrane calcium-transporting proteins, using genetically engineered targeted fluorescent probes, mito-GCamP6 and R-CEPIA1er.
Results: In voltage-clamped and TIRF-imaged cardiomyocytes, low Na induced SR Ca release was suppressed by short pre-exposures to ∼100 nM FCCP, suggesting mitochondrial Ca contribution to low Na triggered SR Carelease.
Enhanced Durability of Ca Metal Battery with Dual Salt: Synergistic Effect on Solid Electrolyte Interphase and Solvation Structure for Improved Electrodeposition.

Institute for Materials Research (IMR), Tohoku University, Katahira 2-1-1, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8577, Japan.
The use of Ca metal in battery technology is a promising approach owing to its high energy density and sustainability. However, the increased battery resistance during extended cycling significantly narrows its application range. This study aimed to improve the long-term stability of Ca deposition by employing a dual-salt strategy based on calcium monocarborane, Ca(CBH), which demonstrated favorable Ca deposition characteristics as a single-salt electrolyte.
