Animal studies and clinical trials suggest that maintenance of gammaaminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic activity may be crucial in coping with stressful conditions, anxiety and mood disorders. Drugs highly efficient in promoting anxiolysis were shown to activate this system, particularly via the α2-subunit of type A receptors (GABAA α2).

Recently updated COVID-19 mRNA vaccines encode the spike protein of the omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 and are recommended for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on immunosuppressive treatment. Nonetheless, their immunogenicity in patients with IBD against rapidly expanding virus variants remains unknown.

The generation of small electron probes is the basis for various techniques in which such a probe is scanned across a sample, and special probe shapes like vortices can be desirable, e.g., to gain insight into magnetic properties.

C60 fullerenes encapsulated between graphene sheets were investigated by aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy at different temperatures, namely about 93 K, 293 K and 733 K, and by molecular dynamics simulations. We studied beam-induced dynamics of the C60 fullerenes and the encapsulating graphene, measured the critical doses for the initial damage to the fullerenes and followed the beam-induced polymerization. We find that, while the dose

Spherical high quality, industrial-relevant LNMO materials developed. LNMO/electrolyte interface stabilized with borate-based interphase layer. Borate-modified LNMO exhibits superior electrochemical performance. The primary aging mechanism stems from LNMO/electrolyte interface instability.
Since 2021, the NMI, together with its Board of Trustees, has awarded a special prize to young scientists once a year for the best publication. You are welcome to read the award-winning publications.
