Objectives
The indigenous population in northern Laos has experienced a transition from self‐sufficiency to a market‐oriented economy, which may have brought about unprecedented chronic psychosocial stress. This study examined the association between the transition to a market economy and urinary free cortisol (UFC) concentration as a stress biomarker among rural residents of three villages with...
How is the quantal size in neurotransmitter release adjusted for various firing levels? We explored the possible mechanisms that regulate acetylcholine (ACh) release from cholinergic interneurons using an ultra‐mini superfusion system. After preloading [3H]ACh in rat striatal cholinergic interneurons, the release was elicited by electrical stimulation under a condition in which presynaptic cholinergic...
Metal–Organic Frameworks
The zeolitic imidazolate framework‐67 (ZIF‐67) gel sintering technique provides a microstructure of densely aggregated, large spherical ZIF‐67 crystals, resulting in bonding of Cu substrates with shear strength exceeding 30 MPa, comparable to that of conventional structural adhesives. More details can be found in article number 2300298 by Izuru Miyazaki, Mitsutaro Umehara,...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)/coordination polymers are promising materials for gas separation, fuel storage, catalysis, and biopharmaceuticals. However, most applied research on MOFs is limited to these functional materials thus far. This study focuses on the potential of MOFs as structural adhesives. A sintering technique is applied to a zeolitic imidazolate framework‐67 (ZIF‐67) gel that enables...
