Femtosecond spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations provide detailed insights into the specificities of the uncaging mechanism of CO2 from ortho-, meta-, and para-nitrophenylacetate. The emerging general principles allow a rational design of improved ortho-nitrophenyl cages for chemical and biological applications.

Regulation of Dopamine Release by Tonic Activity Patterns in the Striatal Brain Slice.

Voluntary movement, motivation, and reinforcement learning depend on the activity of ventral midbrain neurons, which extend axons to release dopamine (DA) in the striatum. These neurons exhibit two patterns of action potential activity: low-frequency tonic activity that is intrinsically generated and superimposed high-frequency phasic bursts that are driven by synaptic inputs. acute striatal brain preparations are widely employed to study the regulation of evoked DA release but exhibit very different DA release kinetics than recordings.

Protein Phosphatase 2A B'α and B'β promote pollen wall construction partially through BZR1-activated CEP1 in Arabidopsis.

A well-constructed pollen wall is essential for pollen fertility, which relies on the contribution of tapetum. Our results demonstrate an essential role of the tapetum-expressed protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) B'α and B'β in pollen wall formation. The b'aβ double mutant pollen grains harbored sticky remnants and tectum breakages, resulting in failed release.

From Genetic Findings to new Intestinal Molecular Targets in Lipid Metabolism.

Curr Atheroscler Rep

Nantes Université, CHU Nantes, CNRS, Inserm, l'institut du thorax, F-44000, Nantes, France.

Purpose Of Review: While lipid-lowering therapies demonstrate efficacy, many patients still contend with significant residual risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). The intestine plays a pivotal role in regulating circulating lipoproteins levels, thereby exerting influence on ASCVD pathogenesis. This review underscores recent genetic findings from the last six years that delineate new biological pathways and actors in the intestine which regulate lipid-related ASCVD risk.
