AI Article Synopsis
- A study found that carp kidney tissue maintains cell volume without swelling, even when exposed to ouabain, similar to mechanisms in mammalian kidneys and frog bladders.
- The process remains unaffected by sodium replacements and is not inhibited by alkaline pH, unlike in rabbit kidneys.
- Additional experiments showed that neither contractile mechanisms affected by cytochalasin B nor transport of divalent cations play a role in this volume maintenance mechanism in carp.
Article Abstract
1) An ouabain-insensitive mechanism of cell volume maintenance, similar to that operating in the kidney tissue of mammals and in epithelial cells of the frog urinary bladder, has been demonstrated in the kidney tissue of carp (Cyprinus carpio)--there is no significant swelling even after 4-hour incubation with 10(-4) mol/l-1 ouabain. 2) The mechanism is not affected by 2-hour incubation with sodium in the saline replaced with tris or choline and, unlike in rabbit kidney cortex, cannot be inhibited by alkaline pH. 3) Neither a contractile mechanism sensitive to cytochalasin B, nor transport of divalent cations could be shown to be involved in this ouabain-insensitive cell volume maintenance in the carp kidney tissue.

Interfacial mechanical stability between silicon (Si) and the current collector is crucial when high areal-loading of Si is demanded as intense stress develops at the interface due to its extreme volume alteration during the lithiation-delithiation process. Therefore, we propose using a thin, rough, porous, and highly conductive carbon nanotube network (CNT-N) as a buffer layer between the Si and current collector that provides abundant anchor sites for Si nanoparticles. The strong and elastic CNT-N, which is not involved directly in the lithiation process, reduces stress at interfaces between the Si and CNT-N and the CNT-N and current collector.

The subcellular localization of mRNAs plays a pivotal role in biological processes, including cell migration. For instance, β-actin mRNA and its associated RNA-binding protein (RBP), ZBP1/IGF2BP1, are recruited to focal adhesions (FAs) to support localized β-actin synthesis, crucial for cell migration. However, whether other mRNAs and RBPs also localize at FAs remains unclear.

Background: Arteriovenous (AV) fistulas are the preferred access for dialysis but have a high incidence of failure. This study aims to understand the crosstalk between skeletal muscle catabolism and AV fistula maturation failure.
Methods: Skeletal muscle metabolism and AV fistula maturation were evaluated in mice with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
