Tight junctions, but not too tight: fine control of lung permeability by claudins.
SURVIVING ACUTE LUNG INJURY requires a functional alveolar epithelial barrier to prevent flooding of the air space (25). The alveolar epithelium is not a static impenetrable seal; instead, it serves as a dynamic, selectively permeable barrier that actively optimizes the water content of lung lining fluid. The preeminent role of several classes of epithelial ion channels in mediating fluid reabs...
متن کاملThe Value of Information in the Court: Get it Right, Keep it Tight
We estimate an equilibrium model of decision-making in the US Supreme Court which takes into account both private information and ideological differences between justices. We measure the value of information in the court by the probability that a justice votes differently from how she would have voted without case-specific information. Our results suggest a sizable value of information: in 44% ...

For centuries, scientists and physicians have been captivated by the consistent left-right (LR) asymmetry of the heart, viscera, and brain. A recent study implicated tubulin proteins in establishing laterality in several experimental models, including asymmetric chemosensory receptor expression in C. elegans neurons, polarization of HL-60 human neutrophil-like cells in culture, and asymmetric o...

Extensive observational data have shown a consistent, almost linear relationship between blood glucose levels in hospitalized patients and adverse clinical outcomes, even in patients without established diabetes.1 It has never been entirely clear, however, whe...
متن کاملTicks use sticky pad to hold tight to skin.
Dining opportunities are rare for ticks. The notorious pests spend as much as 90% of their lives clambering around in leaf litter and only embark on epic expeditions to the tips of grass and leaves when they need to feed. Wrapping their limbs around slender smooth stalks of grass when they ascend, ticks must also grasp any passing opportunity to latch onto smooth skin or the hairy pelts of anim...
