Shanghai Xinfan Bio: Unveiling a mysterious veil of specialized brain cells

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered a critical mechanism that helps maintain the vitality of new neurons in the brain. This groundbreaking study reveals that a specific type of brain cell, known as parvalbumin-expressing interneurons, plays a key role in regulating the survival and development of newly generated neurons. These cells release GABA, a neurotransmitter that signals nearby stem cells to stop dividing, thus influencing the number of new neurons that are created. The findings are particularly significant because the activity of these newborn neurons is closely linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, mental health disorders, and aging. Understanding how these neurons are "determined" to survive or die could lead to major breakthroughs in treating such conditions. As one of the researchers noted, "This is a crucial step toward understanding the root causes of certain diseases and may pave the way for overcoming challenges in cell transplantation." In previous research, the team found that GABA from interneurons can directly influence stem cells by passing through small gaps between cells. In their latest study, they explored how GABA affects the survival and behavior of newborn neurons. Using fluorescent labeling, they observed that immature neurons form synapses with neighboring interneurons, which was an unexpected discovery. To further investigate this process, the researchers used optogenetics—engineering interneurons to be activated or suppressed by light. They found that when these interneurons were stimulated, more newborn neurons survived. This suggests that GABA acts as a key regulator, ensuring that the brain produces the right number of new neurons based on its activity levels. The team also highlighted that malfunctions in similar types of interneurons have been linked to conditions like Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia. They are now focusing on how these neurons guide the migration and integration of newborn cells into existing neural circuits, which could be vital for understanding their role in disease. Additionally, the researchers are exploring whether this GABA signaling pathway could be harnessed to improve the survival of transplanted cells without interfering with other cellular processes. Their work continues to uncover the complex mechanisms that govern brain health and regeneration.

Siren and Alarm

A siren is a loud noise-making device. Civil defense sirens are mounted in fixed locations and used to warn of natural disasters or attacks. Sirens are used on emergency service vehicles such as ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks. There are two general types: pneumatic and electronic.

Many fire sirens (used for calling the volunteer fire fighters) serve double duty as tornado or civil defense sirens, alerting an entire community of impending danger. Most fire sirens are either mounted on the roof of a fire station or on a pole next to the fire station. Fire sirens can also be mounted on or near government buildings, on tall structures such as water towers, as well as in systems where several sirens are distributed around a town for better sound coverage. Most fire sirens are single tone and mechanically driven by electric motors with a rotor attached to the shaft. Some newer sirens are electronically driven speakers.

Fire sirens are often called "fire whistles", "fire alarms", or "fire horns". Although there is no standard signaling of fire sirens, some utilize codes to inform firefighters of the location of the fire. Civil defense sirens also used as fire sirens often can produce an alternating "hi-lo" signal (similar to emergency vehicles in many European countries) as the fire signal, or a slow wail (typically 3x) as to not confuse the public with the standard civil defense signals of alert (steady tone) and attack (fast wavering tone). Fire sirens are often tested once a day at noon and are also called "noon sirens" or "noon whistles".

The first emergency vehicles relied on a bell. Then in the 70s, they switched to a duotone airhorn. Then in the 80s, that was overtaken by an electronic wail.
