E-cadherin and cell adhesion: a role in architecture and function in the pancreatic islet [PDF]

, 2007
Background/Aims: The efficient secretion of insulin from beta-cells requires extensive intra-islet communication. The cell surface adhesion protein epithelial (E)-cadherin (ECAD) establishes and maintains epithelial tissues such as the islets of ...

Leaf trichomes can alleviate water deficit stress and maintain diurnal photosynthesis by increasing leaf wetness and water absorption in Metrosideros polymorpha

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Leaf trichomes are often considered a key trait contributing to drought tolerance by increasing leaf wetness and enhancing foliar water uptake. However, their function has not been examined across a wide range of environmental conditions. Our field observations and manipulation experiments on Metrosideros polymorph—a species with trichomes that vary ...

Innovative Approach to Recycle Lithium‐Ion Battery Electrolytes via Sequential Chemical Processes

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 46, December 9, 2025.
A chemical separation method is developed to recycle and purify nonaqueous electrolytes from spent lithium‐ion batteries. The new process consists of a sequence of precipitation in tandem with each distillation and solvent‐assisted vacuum extraction to obtain high‐quality electrolyte precursors.

Blueberries Reduce Palm Oil‐Induced Metabolic Endotoxemia in an In Vitro Human Intestinal‐Immune Cell Model

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 69, Issue 24, December 2025.
Digested palm oil and LPS treatment on intestinal Caco‐2 cells results in palm oil‐induced LPS translocation across the intestinal cell monolayer and nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) activation of basolateral macrophages. Interestingly, digested whole berries reduce the palm oil + LPS‐mediated NF‐κB activation in macrophages.

2,3‐Diboratabutadiene Complexes of Group 4 Metals and their Donor‐Induced Oxidative Cleavage to Methyleneboranes

ChemistryEurope, Volume 3, Issue 6, November 11, 2025.
GA: We here report the first perarylated 2,3‐diboratabutadiene dianion and its reaction with Cp2MCl2 (M = Zr, Hf) to afford unprecedented 2,3‐diboratabutadiene π‐complexes with unique coordination modes. Addition of an N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) to the complexes gives rise to the donor‐induced oxidation of the BB bond, resulting in two separate NHC ...
