    Abstract Fabricating insoluble and infusible porous materials into gels for advanced applications is of great importance but has formidable challenges. Here, we present a general, facile, and scalable protocol to fabricate covalent organic framework (COF) gels using a group-protection synthesis strategy. To prove the generality of this strategy, we successfully prepared 10 types of COF organohydrogels with high crystallinity, porosity, good mechanical properties, and excellent solvent and freezing resistance. Notably, these COF organohydrogels can easily transform into hydrogels, organogels, and aerogels, breaking the gaps between different types of COF gels. An in-depth mechanism investigation unveils that the group-protection strategy effectively slows down the formation rate and regulates the morphology of COFs, benefiting the formation of cross-linked nanofibers/nanosheets to produce COF gels. We also find that the hydrogen bond network formed by the organic/water binary solvent and functional groups in the COF skeletons plays a vital role in creating organohydrogels and maintaining frost resistance and solvent resistance. As an application demonstration, COF gels installed with photoresponsive azobenzene groups show excellent solar energy absorption, photothermal conversion, and water transmission performances, demonstrating great potential in solar desalination. This work enriches the synthesis toolboxes for COF gels and expands the application scope of COFs.

    Abstract Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), an animal model of sleep apnea, has been shown to alter the activity of second-order chemoreceptor neurons in the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract (cNTS). Although numerous studies have focused on excitatory plasticity, few studies have explored CIH-induced plasticity impacting inhibitory inputs to NTS neurons, and the roles of GABAergic and glycinergic inputs on heightened cNTS excitability following CIH are unknown. In addition, changes in astrocyte function may play a role in cNTS plasticity responses to CIH. This study tested the effects of a 7-day CIH protocol on miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) in cNTS neurons receiving chemoreceptor afferents. Normoxia-treated rats primarily displayed GABA mIPSCs, whereas CIH-treated rats exhibited a shift toward combined GABA/glycine-mediated mIPSCs. CIH increased glycinergic mIPSC amplitude and area. This shift was not observed in dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus neurons or cNTS cells from females. Immunohistochemistry showed that strengthened glycinergic mIPSCs were associated with increased glycine receptor protein and were dependent on receptor trafficking in CIH-treated rats. In addition, CIH altered astrocyte morphology in the cNTS, and inactivation of astrocytes following CIH reduced glycine receptor-mediated mIPSC frequency and overall mIPSC amplitude. In cNTS, CIH produced changes in glycine signaling that appear to reflect increased trafficking of glycine receptors to the cell membrane. Increased glycine signaling in cNTS associated with CIH also appears to be dependent on astrocytes. Additional studies will be needed to determine how CIH influences glycine receptor expression and astrocyte function in cNTS.

    Abstract To date, numerous zirconium cluster-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) with attractive physical properties have been achieved thanks to tailorable organic linkers and versatile Zr clusters. Nevertheless, in comparison with the most-used high-symmetry organic linkers, low-symmetry linkers have rarely been exploited in the construction of Zr-MOFs. Despite challenges in predicting the structure and topology of the MOF, linker desymmetrization presents opportunities for the design of Zr-MOFs with unusual topologies and unexpected functionalities. Herein, we report for the first time the construction of two robust Zr-MOFs (

    Abstract The senses of hearing and balance depend upon hair cells, the sensory receptors of the inner ear. Hair cells transduce mechanical stimuli into electrical activity. Loss of hair cells as a result of aging or exposure to noise and ototoxic drugs is the major cause of noncongenital hearing and balance deficits. In the ear of non-mammals, lost hair cells can spontaneously be replaced by production of new hair cells from conversion of supporting cells. Although supporting cells in adult mammals have lost that capability, neonatal supporting cells are able to convert to hair cells after inhibition of Notch signaling. We questioned whether Notch inhibition is sufficient to convert supporting cells to functional hair cells using electrophysiology and electron microscopy. We showed that pharmacological inhibition of the canonical Notch pathway in the cultured organ of Corti prepared from neonatal gerbils induced stereocilia formation in supporting cells (defined as hair cell-like cells or HCLCs) and supernumerary stereocilia in hair cells. The newly emerged stereocilia bundles of HCLCs were functional, i.e., able to respond to mechanical stimulation with mechanotransduction (MET) current. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that HCLCs converted from pillar cells maintained the pillar cell shape and that subsurface cisternae, normally observed underneath the cytoskeleton in outer hair cells (OHCs), was not present in Deiters' cells-derived HCLCs. Voltage-clamp recordings showed that whole-cell currents from Deiters' cells-derived HCLCs retained the same kinetics and magnitude seen in normal Deiters' cells and that nonlinear capacitance (NLC), an electrical hallmark of OHC electromotility, was not detected from any HCLCs measured. Taken together, these results suggest that while Notch inhibition is sufficient for promoting stereocilia bundle formation, it is insufficient to convert neonatal supporting cells to mature hair cells. The fact that Notch inhibition led to stereocilia formation in supporting cells and supernumerary stereocilia in existing hair cells appears to suggest that Notch signaling may regulate stereocilia formation and stability during development.

    Abstract Mammalian hearing owes its remarkable sensitivity and frequency selectivity to a local mechanical feedback process within the cochlea. Cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) function as the key elements in the feedback loop in which the fast somatic motility of OHCs is thought to be the source of cochlear amplification. An alternative view is that amplification arises from active hair-bundle movement, similar to that seen in nonmammalian hair cells. We measured voltage-evoked hair-bundle motions in the gerbil cochlea to determine if such movements were also present in mammalian OHCs. The OHCs showed bundle movement with peak responses of up to 830 nm. The movement was insensitive to manipulations that would normally block mechanotransduction in the stereocilia, and it was absent in neonatal OHCs and prestin-knockout OHCs. These findings suggest that the bundle movement originated in somatic motility and that somatic motility has a central role in cochlear amplification in mammals.

    Abstract Prestin is the motor protein of cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) with the unique capability of performing direct, rapid, and reciprocal electromechanical conversion. Prestin consists of 744 amino acids with a molecular mass of approximately 81.4 kDa. The predicted membrane topology and molecular mass of a single prestin molecule appear inadequate to account for the size of intramembrane particles (IMPs) expressed in the OHC membrane. Although recent biochemical evidence suggests that prestin forms homo-oligomers, most likely as a tetramer, the oligomeric structure of prestin in OHCs remains unclear. We obtained the charge density of prestin in the gerbil OHCs by measuring their nonlinear capacitance (NLC). The average charge density (22,608 microm(-2) measured was four times the average IMP density (5686 microm(-2) reported in the freeze-fracture study. This suggests that each IMP contains four prestin molecules, based on the general notion that each prestin transfers a single elementary charge. We subsequently compared the voltage dependency and the values of slope factor of NLC and somatic motility simultaneously measured from the same OHCs to determine whether NLC and motility are fully coupled and how prestin subunits function within the tetramer. We showed that the voltage dependency and slope factors of NLC and motility were not statistically different, suggesting that NLC and motility are fully coupled. The fact that the slope factor is the same between NLC and motility suggests that each prestin monomer in the tetramer is in parallel, each interacting independently with cytoplasmic or other partners to facilitate the mechanical response.
