How Salmonella Works Under Osmotic and Desiccation Stresses
ABSTRACT Salmonella remains one of the leading threats in foods with reduced water activity, where it can survive for long periods and cause outbreaks. Its persistence stems from a wide array of adaptive strategies shaped by the selective pressures imposed by low‐moisture foods.

The conduction pore of a cardiac potassium channel. [PDF]
Ion channels form transmembrane water-filled pores that allow ions to cross membranes in a rapid and selective fashion. The amino acid residues that line these pores have been sought to reveal the mechanisms of ion conduction and selectivity. The pore (P)

The Hemoprotein Hhy1 Promotes Heme‐Dependent Catalase Activity of Ctt1
A Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain deficient in heme (hem1Δ) and siderophore (Fc) biosynthesis, as well as high‐affinity iron (Fe) uptake (blue), was used to uncover the hemoprotein Hhy1 that promotes the heme‐dependent activity of the catalase Ctt1. In contrast, hhy1Δ cells exhibit reduced Ctt1 activity and increased sensitivity to oxidative stress ...

ML277 specifically enhances the fully activated open state of KCNQ1 by modulating VSD-pore coupling [PDF]
Upon membrane depolarization, the KCNQ1 potassium channel opens at the intermediate (IO) and activated (AO) states of the stepwise voltage-sensing domain (VSD) activation. In the heart, KCNQ1 associates with KCNE1 subunits to form

Structural changes during HCN channel gating defined by high affinity metal bridges [PDF]
Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide–sensitive nonselective cation (HCN) channels are activated by membrane hyperpolarization, in contrast to the vast majority of other voltage-gated channels that are activated by depolarization.

Mas‐Related G Protein‐Coupled Receptor Member D Sustains Hypertension
Targeting MrgD attenuated hypertension and alleviated hypertension‐associated vascular remodeling via repressing Cav1.2‐CaMKIIγ axis. Risperidone, a small‐molecule inhibitor of MrgD, could alleviate hypertension and artery remodeling induced by Ang II infusion.

Actions and Mechanisms of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Voltage-Gated Ion Channels [PDF]
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) act on most ion channels, thereby having significant physiological and pharmacological effects. In this review we summarize data from numerous PUFAs on voltage-gated ion channels containing one or several voltage ...

Label‐Free Molecular Characterization of Protein Aggregates in Differentiated Astrocytes
Mid‐infrared photothermal microscopy enables label‐free structural, molecular, and functional imaging of protein aggregates in astrocyte cells. The processes of astrocytes differentiated on a nanomaterial interface are characterized by α‐helical signatures combined with enhanced interfacial thermal resistance properties, while the cell soma of non ...

Transcript analysis and comparative evaluation of shaker and slowmo gene homologues from the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis [PDF]
The movement and dispersal of larval Lepidoptera impact their survival and distribution within the natural landscape. Homologues of the Drosophila behaviour-linked genes shaker (shkr) and slowmo (slmo) were identified from Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera:

Herein, solvent extraction was selected for cetyltrimethylammonium bromide removal and the development of optimized Se‐embedded mesoporous silica nanoparticles, which were loaded with enzalutamide. Additionally, to improve the anticancer activity of Se@MSNPs‐Enz and curcumin bioavailability, curcumin‐loaded chitosan nanoparticles were prepared. This pH‐
