Maintenance of newborn kittens in an oxygen rich atmosphere followed by a recovery period in a normal atmosphere mimicked the effects of the human disease retrolental fibroplasia. The retinas of such kittens contained significantly raised levels of low molecular weight angiogenic material (as measured by procollagenase activation) when compared with those of a control group of kittens.

Enhancing the wettability of liquid metals (LMs) to address their high surface tensions is crucial for practical applications. However, controlling LMs wetting on various substrates and understanding the underlying mechanisms are challenging. Here, we present a facile dynamic-wetting strategy to modulate eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) wettability via chemical surface modification, spontaneously forming a stable and thin (∼18 μm) EGaIn layer.

Unlabelled: The prevalence of obesity is increasing at an alarming rate in industrialized countries. Obesity is a systemic disease that causes not only macroscopic alterations, but also mitochondrial dysfunction. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) poses a potential therapeutic option for patients with severe obesity.

The discovery at the end of the 20th century of genes that induce cell death revolutionised the biocontaintment of genetically manipulated bacteria for environmental or agricultural applications. These bacterial 'killer' genes were then assayed for their potential to target and control malignant cells in human cancers. The identification of the bacteriomes in different human organs and tissues, coupled with the observation that bacteria tend to accumulate near tumours, has opened new avenues for anti-cancer strategies.

Current dogma holds that bone fracture causes severe hypoxia at the fracture site, due to vascular rupture, and that this hypoxia must be overcome for regeneration. Here, we show that the early fracture site is not hypoxic, but instead exhibits high oxygen tension (> 55 mmHg, or 8%), similar to the red blood cell reservoir, the spleen.

Background And Purpose: TMEM16A chloride channels constitute a depolarising mechanism in arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and contractile cerebral pericytes. TMEM16A pharmacology is incompletely defined. We elucidated the mode of action and selectivity of a recently identified positive allosteric modulator of TMEM16A (PAM_16A) and of a range of TMEM16A inhibitors.
