The physical–chemical characterization of natural and synthetic historical inorganic and mineral pigments, which may be found embedded in paintings (real or mock-ups), glass, enamel, ceramics, beads, tesserae, etc., as well as their alteration under different decay scenarios, is a demanding line of investigation. This field of research is now both well established and dynamic, as revealed by the numerous publications in high-quality journals of varied scientific disciplines. [...]

AbstractThe heterogeneous organization of the mammalian neocortex poses a challenge to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying its physiological processes. Although high-throughput molecular methods are increasingly deployed in neuroscience, their anatomical specificity is often lacking. Here we introduce a targeted microdissection technique that enables extraction of high-quality RNA and proteins at high anatomical resolution from acutely prepared brain slices. We exemplify its utility by isolating single cortical columns and laminae from the mouse primary somatosensory (barrel) cortex. Tissues can be isolated from living slices in minutes, and the extracted RNA and protein are of sufficient quantity and quality to be used for RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry. This technique will help to increase the anatomical specificity of molecular studies of the neocortex, and the brain in general as it is applicable to any brain structure that can be identified using optical landmarks in living slices.

Waterlogging Treatment

Abstract Sesame is naturally adapted to arid environments but highly susceptible to waterlogging stress. A few hours of waterlogging (lasting over 36 h) are detrimental to the crop growth, yield and survival. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying sesame responses to waterlogging and recovery, it is essential to design a high-resolution time-series experiment. In this study, we reported the RNA-seq profiling of two contrasting genotypes under waterlogging and recovery. The plants were grown in pots and subjected to waterlogging treatment at the flowering stage for 36 h and subsequently, 12 h drainage. Root samples were collected in triplicate at 22 time points under waterlogging/drainage treatments and at 10 time points in the control condition. This represents a total of 195 biological samples and the RNA-seq yielded over eight billion reads. Basic data analyses demonstrated a clear separation of transcriptomes from control, waterlogging and drainage treatments. Overall, the generated high-quality and comprehensive RNA-seq resources will undoubtedly advance our understanding of waterlogging/drainage responses in a non-model sensitive crop.

Skeletal Disorder

Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder, occurring as a result of an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation, with bone breakdown exceeding bone building. Bone resorption inhibitors, e.g., bisphosphonates, have been designed to treat osteoporosis. Teriparatide, an anabolic agent, stimulates bone formation and corrects the characteristic changes in the trabecular microarchitecture. However, these drugs are associated with significant side effects. It is therefore crucial that we continue to research the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and seek novel modes of therapy. This editorial summarizes and discusses the themes of the ten articles published in our Special Issue “Osteoporosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapies 2.0”, a continuation of our 2019 Special Issue "Osteoporosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapies" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms/special_issues/osteoporosis_ijms). These Special Issues detail important global scientific findings that contribute to our current understanding of osteoporosis.

Size Dependent

It is the unique size-dependent band gap of quantum dots (QDs) that makes them so special in various applications. They have attracted great interest, especially in optoelectronic fields such as light emitting diodes and photovoltaic cells, because their photoluminescent characteristics can be significantly improved via optimization of the processes by which they are synthesized. Control of their core/shell heterostructures is especially important and advantageous. However, a few challenges remain to be overcome before QD-based devices can completely replace current optoelectronic technology. This Special Issue provides detailed guides for synthesis of high-quality QDs and their applications. In terms of fabricating devices, tailoring optical properties of QDs and engineering defects in QD-related interfaces for higher performance remain important issues to be addressed.
