BACKGROUND: Mature endothelial cells (ECs) are heterogeneous, with subtypes defined by tissue origin and position within the vascular bed (ie, artery, capillary, vein, and lymphatic). How this heterog...

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) results from atherosclerosis and chronic narrowing of lower limb arteries, leading to decreased muscle perfusion. Current treatments are suboptimal, partly due to limited understanding of PAD muscle pathology. Here we used single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to analyze the composition of the muscle microenvironment in non-ischemic patients and patients with PAD. We identified ATF3/ATF4+ endothelial cells (ECs) that exhibit altered angiogenic and immune regulatory profiles during PAD and confirmed that ATF4 signaling in ECs is required for effective ischemia recovery. In addition, capillary ECs display features of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, LYVE1hiMHCIIlow macrophages are the dominant macrophage population in human muscle, adopting a more pro-inflammatory profile during PAD. Finally, we analyzed alterations in intercellular communication within the muscle microenvironment during PAD and confirmed that EC-derived

Based on grain-size analysis of the surface sediments on the central East China Sea (ECS) shelf, the spatial distribution, depositional settings, and transport patterns of these sediments were investigated in 2022. The results show that the study area can be divided into four Subareas: the nearshore clayey-silt or silt-dominated muddy deposition Subarea (Subarea I), the inner shelf silty-clay-dominated muddy deposition Subarea (Subarea II), the inner and outer shelf transition zone sand-silt-clay or clayey-sand-dominated mixed deposition Subarea (Subarea III), and the outer shelf sandy deposition Subarea (Subarea IV). Typical sediment grain size frequency curves and cumulative frequency curves reflect the sediment differentiation in Subareas I and II, as well as the sediment mixing and modification in Subareas III and IV. The spatial distribution of the sediments is affected by the hydrodynamic and environmental conditions. The main components of the surface sediments in this area are Yangtze River-derived terrigenous clasts. The contents of the sand, silt, and clay fractions obtained using the laser grain size analysis method were approximately 5% larger, 20% larger, and 25% smaller, respectively, than those acquired using the sieve and pipette analysis method, which was the reason that clayey-silt has been reported to occupy almost all of the muddy zone (Subareas I and II) in previous studies. Grain-size trend analysis images revealed the existence of generally north-to-south and west-to-east (i.e., coast-to-offshore) transport trends of the surface sediment in this area, indicating continuity of the provenance, environment, age, and genetic type of the sediments on the ECS shelf. Local regions exhibited different transport directions, which were influenced by the northward Taiwan Warm Current and upwelling. Mixed sediments experienced material redistribution and exchange with neighboring muddy and sandy deposits. The bidirectional northwest-southeast transport trends of some sandy sediments suggest a tidal genesis of the linear sand ridges and their effect on the sandy sediments in this region. Fine clay particles are spread over the entire ECS shelf, suggesting cross-shelf transport of modern fine-grained sediments.

Fluorescence image of the coronal slice of mouse brain where multiple neurochemicals have been measured in vivo with a nanodialysis platform coupled to CE-MS to reveal strong millimeter-scale spatial chemical gradients. Formation and maintenance of such local chemical compartments in the otherwise diffusion-homogeneous cortex indicates strong regulation of ECS neurochemistry imposed by glial-neuron interactions that may heavily influence physiological and pathophysiological modulation of neural computations. ABSTRACT Chemical extrasynaptic signaling in the mammalian brain is involved in the control of behavior via modulation of neural activity, in wiring the brain by directing the axonal growth, in localization of pharmacological effects of drugs, and in regulating the neuroinflammation. Local gradients of various neurochemicals in the brain are difficult to study in vivo due to their complex spatiotemporal dynamics induced by intricate interactions between neurons and glial cells that are not well understood. Here, to directly measure in vivo gradients of multiple neurotransmitters and metabolites simultaneously, we utilize an open-flow silicon nanodialysis sampling platform coupled with sensitive mass spectrometry. Results reveal strong millimeter-scale spatial gradients in concentration of neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and astroglial modulators in a mouse cortex. Formation and maintenance of such local chemical compartments indicate strong regulation of brain neurochemistry by glial-neuron interactions that may heavily influence physiological and pathophysiological modulation of brain functions.
