Conformational transitions of the sodium-dependent sugar transporter, vSGLT. [PDF]
Sodium-dependent transporters couple the flow of Na+ ions down their electrochemical potential gradient to the uphill transport of various ligands. Many of these transporters share a common core structure composed of a five-helix inverted repeat and ...

Presbycusis: Pathology, Signal Pathways, and Therapeutic Strategy
In ARHL, the stria vascularis, acting as a cochlear battery, gradually loses its ability to maintain the endocochlear potential, leading to impaired hair cell function and progressive hearing loss. Single‐cell sequencing reveals age‐related cellular changes in the cochlea, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of aging and potential ...

Single-stage surgical procedure for increasing depth of vestibule and the width of attached gingiva
Shallow vestibule along with the inadequate width of attached gingiva is a common cause of the gingival recession. Multiple techniques have been developed, separately, to increase the depth of vestibule and the width of attached gingival but this case ...

Rational Design of Inner Ear Drug Delivery Systems
Hearing loss is a common disease affecting many people, and inner ear lesions are one of the most important causes. This review focuses on the treatment of inner ear hearing loss by drug delivery systems. It includes the current methods and technologies developed, and it predicts possible directions.

A new amphipathic molecule, S416 is discovered, that locks the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein in its closed state, blocking viral entry. S416 acts as a molecular bolt, binding six sites: three between adjacent RBDs and three connecting NTDs to RBDs. This dual‐locking mechanism stiffens the spike structure and reduces its flexibility.

The Outer Vestibule of the Na+ Channel–Toxin Receptor and Modulator of Permeation as Well as Gating
The outer vestibule of voltage-gated Na+ channels is formed by extracellular loops connecting the S5 and S6 segments of all four domains (“P-loops”), which fold back into the membrane. Classically, this structure has been implicated in the control of ion

Physiology of renal glucose handling via SGLT1, SGLT2 and GLUT2. [PDF]
The concentration of glucose in plasma is held within narrow limits (4-10 mmol/l), primarily to ensure fuel supply to the brain. Kidneys play a role in glucose homeostasis in the body by ensuring that glucose is not lost in the urine.

The State of High‐Resolution Imaging of the Human Inner Ear: A Look Into the Black Box
High‐resolution imaging of the cochlea is challenged by numerous unique aspects of this organ, where sensorineural cells, crucial for hearing, are too small for conventional modalities like magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. This article reviews current imaging techniques, emerging technologies, and innovations aimed at improving ...
