    Abstract Semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) with high elemental and structural complexity can be engineered to tailor for electronic, photovoltaic, thermoelectric, and battery applications etc. However, this greater complexity causes ambiguity in the atomic structure understanding. This in turn hinders the mechanistic studies of nucleation and growth, the theoretical calculations of functional properties, and the capability to extend functional design across complementary semiconductor nanocrystals. Herein, we successfully deciphered the atomic arrangements of 4 different nanocrystal domains in Cu

    Abstract Influenza A virus (IAV), an obligatory intracellular parasite, uses host cellular molecules to complete its replication cycle and suppress immune responses. Proteasome subunit alpha type 2 (PSMA2) is a cellular protein highly expressed in IAV-infected human lung epithelial A549 cells. PSMA2 is part of the 20S proteasome complex that degrades or recycles defective proteins and involves proteolytic modification of many cellular regulatory proteins. However, the role of PSMA2 in IAV replication is not well understood. In this study, PSMA2 knockdown (KD) in A549 cells caused a significant reduction in extracellular progeny IAV, but intracellular viral protein translation and viral RNA transcription were not affected. This indicates that PSMA2 is a critical host factor for IAV maturation. To better understand the interplay between PSMA2 KD and IAV infection at the proteomic level, we used the SomaScan 1.3K version, which measures 1,307 proteins to analyze alterations induced by these treatments. We found seven cellular signaling pathways, including phospholipase C signaling, Pak signaling, and nuclear factor erythroid 2p45-related factor 2 (NRF2)-mediated oxidative stress response signaling, that were inhibited by IAV infection but significantly activated by PSMA2 KD. Further analysis of NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response signaling indicated IAV inhibits accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but ROS levels significantly increased during IAV infection in PSMA2 KD cells. However, IAV infection caused significantly higher NFR2 nuclear translocation that was inhibited in PSMA2 KD cells. This indicates that PSMA2 is required for NRF2-mediated ROS neutralization and that IAV uses PSMA2 to escape viral clearance via the NRF2-mediated cellular oxidative response.

    Abstract Inverted colloidal-nanocrystal-based LEDs (NC-LEDs) are highly interesting and invaluable for large-scale display technology and flexible electronics. Semiconductor nanorods (NRs), in addition to the tunable wavelengths of the emitted light (achieved, for example, by the variation of the NR diameter or the diameter of core in a core-shell configuration), also exhibit linearly polarized emission, a larger Stokes shift, faster radiative decay, and slower bleaching kinetics than quantum dots (QDs). Despite these advantages, it is difficult to achieve void-free active NR layers using simple spin-coating techniques. Herein, we employ electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to make closely packed, vertically aligned CdSe/CdS core/shell nanorods (NRs) as the emissive layer. Following an inverted architecture, the device fabricated yields an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6.3% and a maximum luminance of 4320 cd/m

    Abstract Background and purpose: Drugs of abuse, including alcohol, increase dopamine in the mesocorticolimbic system via actions on dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Increased dopamine transmission can activate inhibitory G protein signalling pathways in VTA dopamine neurons, including those controlled by GABA
    Experimental approach: We used molecular, electrophysiological and genetic approaches to probe the impact of RGS6 on inhibitory G protein signalling in VTA dopamine neurons and on binge-like alcohol consumption in mice.
    Key results: RGS6 is expressed in adult mouse VTA dopamine neurons and it modulates inhibitory G protein signalling in a receptor-dependent manner, tempering D

    Abstract Background: Utilization of Fontan fenestration varies considerably by center.
    Objectives: Using a multicenter Pediatric Heart Network dataset linking surgical and preoperative hemodynamic variables, the authors evaluated factors associated with use of Fontan fenestration and the impact of fenestration on post-Fontan length of stay (LOS).
    Methods: Patients 2 to 6 years old at Fontan surgery from 2010 to 2020 with catheterization<1 year prior were included. Factors associated with fenestration were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for key covariates. Restrictive cubic spline analysis was used to evaluate potential cut-points for hemodynamic variables associated with longer postoperative LOS stratified by fenestration with multivariable linear regression to evaluate the magnitude of effect.
    Results: Fenestration was used in 465 of 702 patients (66.2%). Placement of a fenestration was associated with center (range 27%-93% use,
    Conclusions: There is wide center variability in use of Fontan fenestration that is not explained by preoperative hemodynamics. Fenestration is independently associated with shorter LOS, and those with mPAP ≥13 mm Hg at pre-Fontan catheterization benefit the most. We propose this threshold as minimal criteria for fenestration.

    Abstract Autophagy is a key cellular process that involves constituent degradation and recycling during cellular development and homeostasis. Autophagy also plays key roles in antimicrobial host defense and numerous pathogenic organisms have developed strategies to take advantage of and/or modulate cellular autophagy. Several pharmacologic compounds, such as BafilomycinA1, an autophagy inducer, and Rapamycin, an autophagy inhibitor, have been used to modulate autophagy, and their effects upon notable autophagy markers, such as LC3 protein lipidation and Sequestosome-1/p62 alterations are well defined. We sought to understand whether such autophagy modulators have a more global effect upon host cells and used a recently developed aptamer-based proteomic platform (SOMAscan

    Abstract The swelling of univalent and multivalent charged polymeric networks in electrolytic solutions is studied using a classical thermodynamic model. Such systems were first modeled by Donnan, who derived an expression for the chemical potential of the ions by introducing an electric potential that is commonly referred to as the Donnan potential. This well-established theory leads to a simple quadratic relationship for the partitioning of ions between the network and the external solution. When the concentration of fixed charges in the swollen gel is large enough, the electrolyte in the external solution is "excluded" from the gel (commonly referred to as Donnan exclusion). In the standard Donnan theory, and in virtually all subsequent theories, the magnitude of Donnan exclusion decreases with increasing electrolyte concentration in the external solution. Our model predicts this is not necessarily true; we show that the magnitude of Donnan exclusion increases with increasing electrolyte concentration over a broad range of parameter space (average chain length between crosslinks, fraction of charged monomers in the network, the nature of the interactions between the ions, solvent molecules and polymer chains, and ion concentration in the external solution). We also present explicit bounds for the validity of Donnan's original theory. Model predictions are compared to simulations and experimental data obtained for a cationic gel immersed in electrolytic solutions of salts containing univalent and bivalent cations.
