Diagnosing metabolic acidosis in chronic kidney disease: importance of blood pH and serum anion gap [PDF]
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2022 Metabolic acidosis is one of the most common complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is associated with the progression of CKD, and many other functional impairments. Until recently, only serum bicarbonate levels have been used to evaluate acid-

Connexin43 and Bergmann glial gap junctions in cerebellar function
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2008 Connexin43 (Cx43), a major component of astrocytic gap junctions, is abundantly expressed in Bergmann glial cells (BGCs) in the cerebellum, but the function of Cx43 in BGCs is largely unknown.

A Novel Magnetic Suspension Flywheel Battery with a Multi-Function Air Gap
Energies, 2023 In this study, a novel magnetic suspension flywheel battery with a multi-function air gap is proposed. Based on the unique multi-function air gap, the degrees of freedom between the control magnetic circuits can be independent of each other, reducing the

Antiferromagnetic interactions and the superconducting gap function [PDF]
Physical Review B, 1996 Spin-fluctuation-mediated superconductivity is conventionally associated with d_{x^2-y^2} pairing. We show that a generalized model of antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in three dimensions may also yield a state with formal ``s-wave'' (A_{1g}) symmetry but with line nodes at k_z \approx \pm π/ 2c.

Novel function of Distal-less as a gap gene during spider segmentation. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 Despite many aspects of the regulation of segmentation being conserved among arthropods, the evolution of novel gene functions has played an important role in the evolution of developmental regulation and the emergence of new segmental structures ...

Gap Junctions in the Control of Vascular Function [PDF]
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2009 Direct intercellular communication via gap junctions is critical in the control and coordination of vascular function. In the cardiovascular system, gap junctions are made up of one or more of four connexin proteins: Cx37, Cx40, Cx43, and Cx45. The expression of more than one gap-junction protein in the vasculature is not redundant.

Gap junction modulation and its implications for heart function
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 Gap junction communication mediated by connexins is critical for heart function. To gain insight into the causal relationship of molecular mechanisms of disease pathology, it is important to understand which mechanisms contribute to impairment of gap ...
