The predictive design of flexible and solvent-free polymer electrolytes for solid-state batteries requires an understanding of the fundamental principles governing the ion transport. In this work, we establish a correlation among the composite structures, polymer segmental dynamics, and lithium ion (Li) transport in a ceramic-polymer composite. Elucidating this structure-property relationship will allow tailoring of the Li conductivity by optimizing the macroscopic electrochemical stability of the electrolyte. The ion dissociation from the slow polymer segmental dynamics was found to be enhanced by controlling the morphology and functionality of the polymer/ceramic interface. The chemical structure of the Li salt in the composite electrolyte was correlated with the size of the ionic cluster domains, the conductivity mechanism, and the electrochemical stability of the electrolyte. Polyethylene oxide (PEO) filled with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) or lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide (LiFSI) salts was used as a matrix. A garnet electrolyte, aluminum substituted lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (Al-LLZO) with a planar geometry, was used for the ceramic nanoparticle moieties. The dynamics of the strongly bound and highly mobile Li were investigated using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. The incorporation of the Al-LLZO platelets increased the number density of more mobile Li. The structure of the nanoscale ion-agglomeration was investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering, while molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies were conducted to obtain the fundamental mechanism of the decorrelation of the Li in the LiTFSI and LiFSI salts from the long PEO chain.

G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) plays a crucial role in the progression of breast cancer and has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. However, while missense mutations in GPER1 have been detected in breast invasive carcinoma (BIC) samples, the resulting molecular, cellular and pharmacological changes remain unclear. The present study categorized BIC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas database based on mutation information available in the cBioPortal database.

PIKfyve (1-phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase), a lipid kinase, plays an important role in generating phosphatidylinositol (3,5)-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P). SGC-PIKFYVE-1, a potent and selective inhibitor of PIKfyve, has been used as a chemical probe to explore pathways dependent on PIKfyve activity. Based on reported changes in membrane dynamics and ion transport in response to PIKfyve inhibition, we hypothesized that pharmacological inhibition of PIKfyve could modulate pain.

Facilitating rapid charge transfer in electrode materials necessitates the optimization of their ionic transport properties. Currently, only a limited number of Li/Na-ion organic cathode materials have been identified, and those exhibiting intrinsic solid-phase ionic conductivity are even rarer. In this study, we present tetra-lithium and sodium salts with the generic formulae: A-Ph-CHP and A-Ph-PhP, wherein A = Li, Na; Ph-CHP = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-phenylene bis(methylphosphinate); Ph-PhP = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-phenylene bis(phenylphosphinate), as novel alkali-ion reservoir cathode materials.

Nanofluidics is a system of fluid transport limited to a nano-confined space, including the transport of ions and molecules. The use of intelligent nanofluidics has shown great potential in energy conversion. However, ion transport is hindered by homogeneous membranes with uniform charge distribution and concentration polarization, which often leads to an undesirable power conversion performance.

Transport proteins are essential for bacterial resistance to antibiotics and toxins, but their mechanisms remain poorly understood in Bacillus subtilis. In the present study, overexpression of yoeA enhanced resistance to various antibiotics, with its expression induced by these antibiotics, especially penicillin and plipastatin. The ΔyoeA strain exhibited significant growth inhibition at 100 μg/mL of plipastatin, while as high as 10,000 μg/mL of iturin/surfactin are required to achieve comparable inhibition, suggesting a higher sensitivity of ΔyoeA to plipastatin.
