Nitric oxide (NO) is biologically synthesized in human body and mediates various signal pathway. Because NO is too unstable to handle for biological assay, NO releasers had been developed for NO research. Among them, light-controllable NO releasers are quite useful tool because their NO release can be spatiotemporally controlled by light irradiation. This article shows how to synthesize visible-light controllable NO releasers based on N-nitrosoaminophenol structure, evaluate NO releasing efficiency in various methods, and apply them for biological experiments.

Luminal flow in the connecting tubule induces afferent arteriole vasodilation.

Background: Renal autoregulatory mechanisms modulate renal blood flow. Connecting tubule glomerular feedback (CNTGF) is a vasodilator mechanism in the connecting tubule (CNT), triggered paracrinally when high sodium levels are detected via the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). The primary activation factor of CNTGF-whether NaCl concentration, independent luminal flow, or the combined total sodium delivery-is still unclear.

Background: Acute neuroinflammatory and oxidative-stress (OS)-inducing stressors, such as high energy and charge (HZE) particle irradiation, produce accelerated aging in the brain. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foods, such as blueberries (BB), attenuate neuronal and cognitive deficits when administered to rodents before or both before and after HZE particle exposure. However, the effects of post-stressor treatments are unknown and may be important to repair initial damage and prevent progressive neurodegeneration.

Nitric oxide (NO) has garnered significant attention as a critical regulatory factor and signaling molecule in plant growth. However, the effects of microplastic pollution on the release of NO by algae have not been reported. Thus, in this study, the release of NO by Skeletonema costatum and Gymnodinium sp.

Seizures can lead to cardiac dysfunction. Multiple pathways contribute to this phenomenon, of which the chaperone sigma-1 receptor (S1R) signaling represents a promising nexus between the abnormalities seen in both epilepsy and ensuing cardiac complications. The study explored the potential of Berberine (BER), a promising S1R agonist, in treating epilepsy and associated cardiac abnormalities in a pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) kindling rat model of epilepsy.

Background: Clinical studies of biologics in severe asthma exclude smokers or ex-smokers (ExS) with over 10 pack-years (py). Thus, the effectiveness of this therapy in ex-smokers with severe asthma is not well understood.
Objectives: To assess the impact of smoking on clinical efficiency of biologics in patients with severe asthma from the German Asthma Net (GAN), a comprehensive international registry.
