Structural and Mechanistic Bases of Nuclear Calcium Signaling in Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Ventricular Cardiomyocytes by Sen Li, Wendy Keung, Heping Cheng, Ronald A. Li

“…The loss of nonregenerative, terminally differentiated cardiomyocytes (CMs) due to aging or diseases is generally considered irreversible. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can self-renew while maintaining their pluripotency to differentiate into all cell types, including ventricular (V) cardiomyocytes (CMs), to provide a potential unlimited ex vivo source of CMs for heart disease modeling, drug/cardiotoxicity screening, and cell-based therapies. …”

Assessing the outcome of drug therapy in adult patients with epilepsy who have experienced seizure recurrence after remission by E. A. Sandu, A. S. Kotov

“…In turn, patients with a favorable outcome were statistically significantly more likely to have factors such as genetic etiology of epilepsy, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, absences, myoclonic seizures, generalized forms of epilepsy, no pathology on neuroimaging, diffuse epileptiform activity on electroencephalogram, and no pathology on electroencephalogram (p <0.05).Based on the obtained data using the results of constructing contingency tables, a scale for assessing the probability of achieving repeat remission in patients with recurrent epileptic seizures was developed, consisting of 9 sections. …”

Brain structural associations of syntactic complexity and diversity across schizophrenia spectrum and major depressive disorders, and healthy controls by Katharina Schneider, Nina Alexander, Andreas Jansen, Igor Nenadić, Benjamin Straube, Lea Teutenberg, Florian Thomas-Odenthal, Paula Usemann, Udo Dannlowski, Tilo Kircher, Arne Nagels, Frederike Stein

“…We assessed syntactic complexity and diversity of oral language production using four Thematic Apperception Test pictures in a sample of N = 87 subjects (n = 24 major depressive disorder (MDD), n = 30 SSD patients both diagnosed according to DSM-IV-TR, and n = 33 healthy controls (HC)). General linear models were used to investigate the association of syntax with gray matter volume (GMV), fractional anisotropy (FA), axial (AD), radial (RD), and mean diffusivity (MD). …”

Advances in research on noble gas as tracers of geofluids and helium enrichment by Yu GAO, Quanyou LIU, Dongya ZHU, Xiaoqi WU, Pengpeng LI

“…Furthermore, it summarized the applications of noble gas isotopes in multiple scenarios such as constructing reservoir models and reconstructing fluid distribution. Accordingly, the helium accumulation theory was generalized based on the generation potential of helium, as well as its migration and accumulation mechanisms.Advances and Prospects By combining case studies, this study proposed three helium enrichment types: tectonic activity enhancing helium flux type (e.g., the Lhasa Block in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau), the self-sealing-based helium accumulation in deeply buried high-pressure shale (e.g., the Cambrian and Silurian shale gas reservoirs in the Sichuan Basin), and helium accumulation based on the coupling of alkane gases and the precipitation of helium dissolved in water (e.g., the Hetianhe gas field in the Tarim Basin). …”
