This study aimed to develop a novel and potent tracer for targeting, detecting, and imaging serotonin receptors(5-HTRs), which is a promising tool in the determination of the receptor’s function and relationship with the diseases related to serotonin and its receptor dysfunction. Serotonin was effectively labeled via a direct electrophilic substitutional reaction using an oxidizing agent such as iodogen with 125I in a neutral medium, and 125I-serotonin was achieved with a maximum labeling yield of 91 ± 0.63% with in vitro stability up to 24 h. Molecular modeling was conducted to signify 125I-serotonin structure and confirm that the radiolabeling process did not affect serotonin binding ability to its receptors. Biodistribution studies show that the maximum gastro intestinal tract uptake of 125I-serotonin was 17.8 ± 0.93% ID/organ after 30 min postinjection and the tracer’s ability to pass the blood–brain barrier. Thus, 125I-serotonin is a promising single photon emission computed tomography tracer in the detection of 5 HTRs.展开更多

Autophagy is a conserved process that keeps the quality of organelles and proteostasis. The role of autophagy in oligodendrocyte lineage cells remains unclear. The present study shows that autophagy is required to maintain the number of OPCs/OLs and myelin integrity during brain aging. Inactivation of autophagy in oligodendrocyte lineage cells increases the number of OPCs/OLs in the developing brain while exaggerating the loss of OPCs/OLs with brain aging. Inactivation of autophagy in oligodendrocyte lineage cells impairs the turnover of myelin basic protein (MBP). It causes MBP to accumulate in the cytoplasm as multimeric aggregates and fails to be incorporated into integral myelin, which is associated with attenuated endocytic recycling. Inactivation of autophagy in oligodendrocyte lineage cells impairs myelin integrity and causes demyelination. Thus, this study shows autophagy is required to maintain myelin quality during aging by controlling the turnover of myelin components.展开更多

文摘Oligodendrocyte lineage cells, including oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and oligodendrocytes (OLs), are essential in establishing and maintaining brain circuits. Autophagy is a conserved process that keeps the quality of organelles and proteostasis. The role of autophagy in oligodendrocyte lineage cells remains unclear. The present study shows that autophagy is required to maintain the number of OPCs/OLs and myelin integrity during brain aging. Inactivation of autophagy in oligodendrocyte lineage cells increases the number of OPCs/OLs in the developing brain while exaggerating the loss of OPCs/OLs with brain aging. Inactivation of autophagy in oligodendrocyte lineage cells impairs the turnover of myelin basic protein (MBP). It causes MBP to accumulate in the cytoplasm as multimeric aggregates and fails to be incorporated into integral myelin, which is associated with attenuated endocytic recycling. Inactivation of autophagy in oligodendrocyte lineage cells impairs myelin integrity and causes demyelination. Thus, this study shows autophagy is required to maintain myelin quality during aging by controlling the turnover of myelin components.

文摘Hydrogen production via catalytic reforming of renewable fuels represents a pivotal strategy in the decarbonization of energy systems.However,conventional catalysts continue to encounter persistent challenges,including sintering,carbon deposition,and structural degradation under severe reaction conditions.This review addresses the growing need to consolidate the rapidly expanding body of knowledge on medium-and high-entropy materials(MEMs and HEMs),whose unique thermodynamic features position them as next-generation catalysts with the potential to overcome these limitations.The discussion is organized to examine how entropy stabilizatio n,lattice disto rtion,and multi-elemental synergy influence catalytic behavior.Materials are categorized by crystal structure(e.g.,perovskite,spinel,and periclase)and by their roles in key reforming processes,including steam,dry,partial oxidation,and autothermal reforming of renewable fuels such as bioethanol,biomethane,and methanol.A detailed comparison of synthesis methods,configurational entropy thresholds,and physicochemical characteristics is presented.The review synthesizes key insights from recent studies,including advances in exsolution-driven nanostructuring,the impact of oxygen vacancy engineering,and the performance of entropy-optimized compositions under practical reforming conditions.It offers a comprehensive mapping of structureperformance relationships,underscoring how entropy can be harnessed to design more robust,selective,and efficient catalytic systems.Future perspectives emphasize the exploration of underinvestigated entropy-stabilized systems(e.g.,nitrides and sulfides),the integration of data-driven design approaches,and the imperative for long-term stability evaluations under industrially relevant conditions.Finally,the review highlights promising opportunities for scaling up entropy-based catalysts and aligning their development with techno-economic and environmental benchmarks.This work aims to serve as both a comprehensive reference and a strategic outlook for advancing hydrogen production technologies through entropy-engineered catalysis.
