Self-drying: a gecko's innate ability to remove water from wet toe pads. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
When the adhesive toe pads of geckos become wet, they become ineffective in enabling geckos to stick to substrates. This result is puzzling given that many species of gecko are endemic to tropical environments where water covered surfaces are ubiquitous.

Walking on Water

open access: yesThe Iowa Review, 1972
That day we walked out on the water Dangling our fins above the echoing blue Distances our feet could not disturb, Hanging like glass chandeliers in the depths The familiar striped fish nosed our wake But there on the floor your letter lay, The one you dropped yesterday, shimmering Among the flowering coral, calmly White, illegibly scrawled But ...

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
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.
