Whereas a wealth of literature exists on the physiological basis of fluid and solute reabsorption by ion channels and water pores ... Both competing forces in this model are intimately linked through ...

Biochemically, ferroptosis is characterized by the depletion of glutathione (GSH), the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and an increase in lipid peroxides (LPO)and divalent iron ions .

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these ...

Scientists at Osaka University have designed a nanogate that opens and closes using electrical signals, offering precise ...

A collaboration led by researchers at Osaka University has developed a nanogate that can be open or shut by applying electricity. The nanogate shows various behaviors depending on the materials in the ...

In 2004, a research group at Peking University First Hospital discovered a mutation in the gene coding for a sodium-channel ...

The need for new fast classification methods has become increasingly important. When a patient arrives at a medical center ...

While a higher pH generally promoted the formation of the non-apatitic layer, the presence of sodium ions (Na+) from NaOH reduced the concentration of phosphate ions, decreasing the layer’s reactivity ...

When chlorine (as a gas or dissolved in water) is added to sodium bromide solution, the chlorine takes the place of the bromine. Because chlorine is more reactive than bromine, it displaces ...
