Airway succinate chemosensing induces CFTR-dependent anion secretion and mucus clearance which is impaired in cystic fibrosis.

Inhibition of the sodium-dependent HCO3 -transporter SLC4A4, produces a cystic fibrosis-like airway disease phenotype.

This study shows that inhibiting SLC4A4, a sodium-dependent bicarbonate cotransporter, in airway epithelial cells causes a CF-like phenotype with mucus accumulation and reduced mucociliary clearance.

Neuroanatomy of the grey seal brain: bringing pinnipeds into the neurobiological study of vocal learning

This study provides a neuroanatomical atlas of the grey seal brain, highlighting features relevant to vocal learning and identifying FoxP2 expression in cortical layers.

Effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) compaction degree and concentration on rGO-polymer composites printability and cell interactions

Urinary glucocorticoids in harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) pups during rehabilitation

This study measures urinary glucocorticoids in harbour seal pups during rehabilitation, finding that prednisone levels correlate with pup mass and suggest physiological stressors.

Additive manufactured scaffolds for bone tissue engineering: physical characterization of thermoplastic composites with functional fillers

The paper characterizes the rheological and mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites for bone tissue engineering scaffolds and develops computational models to predict scaffold elastic moduli.
