Establishment and assessment of a simple and easily reproducible incision model of spinal cord neuron cells in vitro
A growing number of in vitro models have been introduced to study the mechanisms of spinal cord injury. A potential drawback of these models is that they are difficult to reproduce. In this study, an in vitro ...

Study of tri-layer antireflection coatings prepared by sol–gel method
Antireflective coatings (ARCs) on tri-layer thin film stacks were studied in this paper. Silica sols have been prepared by acid-catalyzed or base-catalyzed hydrolysis and condensation reactions of tetraethyl o...

Open AccessCarbon black as an alternative cathode material for electrical energy recovery and transfer in a microbial battery
Rather than the conventional concept of viewing conductive carbon black (CB) to be chemically inert in microbial electrochemical cells (MECs), here we confirmed the redox activity of CB for its feasibility as ...

Addition of large amount of municipal sewage sludge as raw material in cement clinker production
Two addition modes were used to explore the maximum addition of municipal sewage sludge as a raw material in cement clinker production. The clinker and cement product quality were determined by chemical analys...

Programmed cell death 4 modulates lysosomal function by inhibiting TFEB translation
Transcription factor EB (TFEB) is a master regulator of autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis. The post-translational phosphorylation modulations of TFEB by mTOR and ERK signaling can determine its nucleocytoplas...

Open AccessProgrammed cell death 4 as an endogenous suppressor of BDNF translation is involved in stress-induced depression
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a growth factor that plays vital roles in the neuron survival, growth, and neuroplasticity. Alteration to BDNF expression is associated with major depressive disorde...

Open AccessThe brain targeted delivery of programmed cell death 4 specific siRNA protects mice from CRS-induced depressive behavior
Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders. Recently, studies demonstrate that antidepressants generating BDNF not only maintain synaptic signal transmission but also repress neuroinflammatory ...
