    Abstract Intracellular organelles exchange their luminal contents with each other via both vesicular and non-vesicular mechanisms. By forming membrane contact sites (MCSs) with ER and mitochondria, lysosomes mediate bidirectional transport of metabolites and ions between lysosomes and organelles that regulate lysosomal physiology, movement, membrane remodeling, and membrane repair. In this chapter, we will first summarize the current knowledge of lysosomal ion channels and then discuss the molecular and physiological mechanisms that regulate lysosome-organelle MCS formation and dynamics. We will also discuss the roles of lysosome-ER and lysosome-mitochondria MCSs in signal transduction, lipid transport, Ca

    Abstract The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily consists of a large group of non-selective cation channels that serve as cellular sensors for a wide spectrum of physical and environmental stimuli. The 28 mammalian TRPs, categorized into six subfamilies, including TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPA (ankyrin), TRPML (mucolipin) and TRPP (polycystin), are widely expressed in different cells and tissues. TRPs exhibit a variety of unique features that not only distinguish them from other superfamilies of ion channels, but also confer diverse physiological functions. Located at the plasma membrane or in the membranes of intracellular organelles, TRPs are the cellular safeguards that sense various cell stresses and environmental stimuli and translate this information into responses at the organismal level. Loss- or gain-of-function mutations of TRPs cause inherited diseases and pathologies in different physiological systems, whereas up- or down-regulation of TRPs is associated with acquired human disorders. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we briefly summarize the history of the discovery of TRPs, their unique features, recent advances in the understanding of TRP activation mechanisms, the structural basis of TRP Ca2+ selectivity and ligand binding, as well as potential roles in mammalian physiology and pathology.

    Abstract The endomembrane system consists of organellar membranes in the biosynthetic pathway: endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, and secretory vesicles, as well as those in the degradative pathway: early endosomes, macropinosomes, phagosomes, autophagosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes. These endomembrane organelles/vesicles work together to synthesize, modify, package, transport, and degrade proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, regulating the balance between cellular anabolism and catabolism. Large ion concentration gradients exist across endomembranes - Ca

    Abstract Lysosomes mediate hydrolase-catalyzed macromolecule degradation to produce building block catabolites for reuse. Lysosome function requires an osmo-sensing machinery that regulates osmolytes (ions and organic solutes) and water flux. During hypoosmotic stress or when undigested materials accumulate, lysosomes become swollen and hypo-functional. As a membranous organelle filled with cargo macromolecules, catabolites, ions, and hydrolases, the lysosome must have mechanisms that regulate its shape and size while coordinating content exchange. In this review, we discussed the mechanisms that regulate lysosomal fusion and fission as well as swelling and condensation, with a focus on solute and water transport mechanisms across lysosomal membranes. Lysosomal H+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Cl- channels and transporters sense trafficking and osmotic cues to regulate both solute flux and membrane trafficking. We also provide perspectives on how lysosomes may adjust the volume of themselves, the cytosol, and the cytoplasm through the control of lysosomal solute and water transport.

    Abstract The endometrium microvessel system, responsible for supplying oxygen and nutrients to the embryo, holds significant importance in evaluating endometrial receptivity (ER). Visualizing this system directly can significantly enhance ER evaluation. Currently, clinical methods like Narrow-band hysteroscopy and Color Doppler ultrasound are commonly used for uterine blood vessel examination, but they have limitations in depth or resolution. Endoscopic Photoacoustic Imaging (PAE) has proven effective in visualizing microvessels in the digestive tract, while its adaptation to uterine imaging faces challenges due to the uterus's unique physiological characteristics. This paper for the first time that uses high-resolution PAE in vivo to capture a comprehensive network of endometrial microvessels non-invasively. Followed by continuous observation and quantitative analysis in the endometrial injury model, we further corroborated that PAE detection of endometrial microvessels stands as a valuable indicator for evaluating ER. The PAE system showcases its promising potential for integration into reproductive health assessments.

    Abstract Photoacoustic molecular imaging technology has a wide range of applications in biomedical research. In practical scenarios, both the probes and blood generate signals, resulting in the saliency of the probes in the blood environment being diminished, impacting imaging quality. Although several methods have been proposed for saliency enhancement, they inevitably suffer from moderate generality and detection speed. The Grüneisen relaxation (GR) nonlinear effect offers an alternative for enhancing saliency and can improve generality and speed. In this article, the excitation and detection efficiencies are optimized to enhance the GR signal amplitude. Experimental studies show that the saliency of the probe is enhanced. Moreover, the issue of signal aliasing is studied to ensure the accuracy of enhancement results in the tissues. In a word, the feasibility of the GR-based imaging method in saliency enhancement is successfully demonstrated in the study, showing the superiorities of good generality and detection speed.

    Abstract Tetraethylthiuram disulfide (TETD) is one of the most important thiuram-class rubber vulcanization accelerators and a ‘star molecule’ in other areas. The development of a mild, efficient, low-cost, safe, and sustainable approach to produce TETD is extremely desirable. Here, we developed a much-improved route to synthesize TETD using MoS 2 as the catalyst and ethanol as the solvent. A packed-bed microflow strategy was implemented to accelerate the catalytic process. TETD was obtained with an excellent yield and purity within a short residence time. Besides, this continuous process did not generate any waste salts, rendering it a sustainable method for producing thiuram-type compounds.
