A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

This work explores the possibility to design stable periodic magnetization textures by transforming a 2D film into a rolled‐up 3D architecture and back. In case of an isotropic exchange‐biased layer architecture, the magnetization encoded in the 3D state evolves into a spin‐spiral pattern with controlled periodicity after unrolling.

Microfluidic coaxial extrusion generates size‐controlled 3D lymphatic tubes from primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells in a defined four‐component matrix. These engineered vessels self‐organize into stable lymphatic endothelium, maintain selective macromolecular permeability for 30 days, and enable direct comparison with blood endothelial ...

Aerosol Jet Printed Polymer‐Free High Aspect Ratio Quantum Dot Films for Enhanced Color Conversion
Polymer‐free quantum dot color conversion layers are aerosol jet printed at high aspect ratio by tuning the aerosol focus ratio to induce in‐flight droplet drying. Contact‐line pinning suppresses lateral spreading, enabling ∼10 µm‐thick films at ∼50 µm widths with blue light leakage below 0.25% and conversion efficiency approaching 18%, demonstrated ...
