Sodium Based Energy Storage In article number 2206922, Lu Huang, Yingpeng Wu, and co-workers propose a dual-mechanism energy storage strategy, involving the electrochemical process of sodium ion battery (SIB) metal (SMB). This strategy is expected to achieve higher capacity than SIB, obtain dendrite-free growth SMB with well-designed anode.

Cerlapirdine (SAM-531, PF-05212365) is a selective, potent, full antagonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 6 (5-HT6) receptor. Cerlapirdine and other 5-HT6 receptor antagonists have been in clinical development for the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. A human absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion study was conducted to gain further understanding of the metabolism and disp...

Tissue homeostasis is maintained by adult stem cells, which selfrenewand give rise to differentiating cells. The generation of daughter cells with different fates is mediated by signalling molecules coming from an external niche or being asymmetrically dispatched between the two daughters upon stem cell mitosis. In the adult Drosophila midgut, the intestinal stem cell (ISC) divides to generate ...
