Abstract Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is essential for sustaining neuronal metabolism and cognitive performance; however, the precise relationship between perfusion and cognition remains unclear. Although ageing and disease are associated with progressive declines in CBF and cognitive impairment, the acute effects of altered CBF under environmental ...

Abstract Central blood volume (CBV) reduction challenges circulatory and respiratory homeostasis, particularly during the initial compensatory phase (0–2 min), when rapid physiological adaptations occur. In this study, we examined dynamic cardiorespiratory responses to CBV reduction using lower‐body negative pressure (LBNP) in 11 healthy young males ...

Asymmetric polar localization dynamics of the serine chemoreceptor protein Tsr in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
The spatial location of proteins in living cells can be critical for their function. For example, the E. coli chemotaxis machinery is localized to the cell poles.

Signalling mechanisms of long term facilitation of breathing with intermittent hypoxia. [PDF]
Intermittent hypoxia causes long-term facilitation (LTF) of respiratory motor nerve activity and ventilation, which manifests as a persistent increase over the normoxic baseline for an hour or more after the acute hypoxic ventilatory response.

Solitary chemoreceptor cells in the nasal cavity serve as sentinels of respiration [PDF]
Inhalation of irritating substances leads to activation of the trigeminal nerve, triggering protective reflexes that include apnea or sneezing. Receptors for trigeminal irritants are generally assumed to be located exclusively on free nerve endings within the nasal epithelium, requiring that trigeminal irritants diffuse through the junctional ...

Abstract Sympathetic nervous system activation is a hallmark of high‐altitude hypoxia, yet the afferent mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We examined the relative contributions of pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors and carotid chemoreceptors – two excitatory pathways co‐activated by hypoxia – to sustained sympathoexcitation at altitude.

The cell biology of Chloroflexota is poorly studied. We applied cryo-focused ion beam milling and cryo-electron tomography to study the ultrastructural organization of thermophilic Roseiflexus castenholzii and Chloroflexus aggregans, and mesophilic “Ca ...

Electron cryotomography: a new view into microbial ultrastructure [PDF]
Electron cryotomography (ECT) is an emerging technology that allows thin samples such as small bacterial cells to be imaged in 3D in a nearly native state to ‘molecular’ (not, vert, similar4 nm) resolution.

Relationships Between Chemoreflex Responses, Sleep Quality, and Hematocrit in Andean Men and Women. [PDF]
Andean highlanders are challenged by chronic hypoxia and many exhibit elevated hematocrit (Hct) and blunted ventilation compared to other high-altitude populations.

Resetting and postnatal maturation of oxygen chemosensitivity in rat carotid chemoreceptor cells [PDF]
1. Carotid chemoreceptor sensitivity is minimal immediately after birth and increases with postnatal age. In the present study we have investigated the peri- and postnatal developmental time course of [Ca2+]i responses to hypoxia in clusters of type I cells isolated from near-term fetal rats and rats that were 1, 3, 7, 11, 14 and 21 days old, using the
