Binding of HCN channels to GABAB receptors in dopamine neurons of the VTA limits synaptic inhibition and prevents the development of anxiety by Enrique Pérez-Garci, Kateryna Pysanenko, Giorgio Rizzi, Florian Studer, Daniel Ulrich, Thorsten Fritzius, Simon Früh, Alessandra Porcu, Valérie Besseyrias, Adolf Melichar, Martin Gassmann, Tania Rinaldi Barkat, Rostislav Tureček, Kelly R. Tan, Bernhard Bettler

“…We now show that KCTD16, an auxiliary GBR subunit, anchors hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels containing HCN2/HCN3 subunits to GBRs. In dopamine neurons of the VTA (DAVTA neurons), this interaction facilitates activation of HCN channels via hyperpolarization during IPSPs, counteracting the GBR-mediated late phase of these IPSPs. …”

Electrochromism via reversible electrodeposition of solid iodine by Shanlin Li, Yingyu Chen, Zhen Wang, Mengmeng Wang, Xianglin Guo, Xueqing Tang, Xiaoyu Wang, Wende Lai, Meiyun Tong, Changhong Wang, Shan Cong, Fengxia Geng, Yong Chen, Zhigang Zhao

“…Herein, we propose the development of non-metallic iodine electrodeposition-based electrochromic dynamic windows using a water-in-salt electrolyte containing iodine ions. The unique electrolyte environment and solvation structure of the water-in-salt electrolyte suppress the dissolution and shuttle effect of iodine, thereby achieving a different reaction pathway compared to traditional electrolytes. …”

Occurrence, properties and biological significance of pyroglutamyl peptides derived from different food sources by Behzad Gazme, Ruth T. Boachie, Apollinaire Tsopmo, Chibuike C. Udenigwe

“…This process can occur endogenously or during processing of foods containing the peptides. Some factors such as heat, high pressure and enzymatic modifications contribute to pGlu formation. pGlu peptides are thought to have different characteristics, especially bitter and umani tastes, and thus can affect the sensory properties of foods that contain them. …”
