Connexin36 knockout mice display increased sensitivity to pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure-like behaviors [PDF]
Large-scale synchronous firing of neurons during seizures is modulated by electrotonic coupling between neurons via gap junctions. To explore roles for connexin36 (Cx36) gap junctions in seizures, we examined the seizure threshold of connexin36 knockout (

DETERMINATION OF PRIMERS EFFICIENCY IN THE DETECTION OF PEDIOCOCCUS IN WINES
Pediococcus spp. are lactic acid bacteria which are considered spoilage in the wine making processes. Early detection can minimize the negative effects of Pediococcus spp on wine quality and prevent the development of advanced spoilage stages.

ELABELA Targets Mitochondria to Modulate Heart Development
The role of peptide ELABELA (ELA) in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and congenital heart disease (CHD) is unclear. ELA deficiency caused cardiomyocyte apoptosis and CHD. A novel ELA‐APJ‐AKT‐BCL2/BAX axis in regulating mitochondrial function and contributing to CHD pathogenesis was established.
