The LLC-PK1 pig kidney-derived cell line is morphologically and functionally heterogeneous. We have clonally derived three sublines that differ in their response to calcitonin and in their ability to form domes. The three clones were analyzed for their basal and hormonally induced plasminogen activator production. In contrast to the D + Sc clone, in which calcitonin induced a greater than 100-fold increase in plasminogen activator synthesis, the D + Rc clone did not respond to the hormone; this was related to a deficiency of the cells in calcitonin binding. Transepithelial electrical resistance measurements revealed a direct correlation with the capacity of the cells to form domes; in one of the isolated clones (D-), the lack of dome formation coincided with a low electrical resistance; the D + Sc clone, in which all single cell-derived colonies formed domes, showed a higher electrical resistance than that developed by the original cell line. Thus the LLC-PK1 clones provide a useful in vitro model for the study of epithelial properties.

High-temperature reduction of TiO causes the gradual formation of structural defects, leading to oxygen vacancy planar defects and giving rise to Magnéli phases, which are substoichiometric titanium oxides that follow the formula Ti O, with 4 ≤ ≤ 9. A high concentration of defects provides several possible configurations for Ti and Ti within the crystal, with the variation in charge ordered states changing the electronic structure of the material. The changes in crystal and electronic structures of Magnéli phases introduce unique properties absent in TiO, facilitating their diverse applications.

Background: Oxyberberine (OBB) is a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid that is believed to possess various health-promoting properties, including anti-fungus, hepatoprotection, anti-inflammation, and anti-intestinal mucositis effects. Despite several studies reporting the health benefits of OBB in treating ulcerative colitis (UC), its specific mechanism of action has yet to be fully elucidated.
Purpose: This investigation is designed to explore the potential protective efficacy of OBB and the latent mechanism using an model of UC-like inflammatory intestinal cells.

This paper investigates the damage resistance and tolerance of thermoset composite laminates stitched by glass and hybrid glass/polypropylene commingled yarns. Different impact energies (10-70 J) were applied to stitched composite laminates before compression after impact (CAI) tests were conducted. The results showed that, except for 70J, commingled yarn-stitched laminates absorbed more energy than glass-stitched laminates.

Spiking neurons are essential for building energy-efficient biomimetic spatiotemporal systems because they communicate with other neurons using sparse and binary signals. However, the achievable high density of artificial neurons having a capacitor for emulating the integrate function of biological neurons has a limit. Furthermore, a low-voltage operation (<1.
