Academic Background With the intensification of global climate change, energy consumption in buildings, particularly from air conditioning systems, continues to rise. Statistics show that building air conditioning systems account for approximately 10% of global annual electricity consumption, a figure that is increasing alongside carbon emissions, ...
Academic Background During tissue repair, chronic hypoxia negatively impacts the functionality of stem cells. Periosteal Stem Cells (PSCs), as the primary contributors to bone repair, exhibit unclear behavior under hypoxic conditions. While hypoxia may be beneficial for certain stem cells in the early stages of tissue repair, prolonged hypoxia can ...
Academic Background Wound infection is a significant concern for patients and healthcare professionals worldwide, particularly in the management of severe wounds. Inappropriate dressings can increase the risk of infection, prolong healing time, and even lead to higher mortality rates and economic burdens. Traditional wound dressings, such as gauze ...
Academic Background With the rapid development of smart wearable devices, pressure sensors, as core components, have garnered extensive attention in fields such as health monitoring, human-machine interaction, and artificial intelligence. Based on their sensing principles, pressure sensors are primarily categorized into capacitive, piezoelectric, t...
Super-Elastic Phenylalanine Dipeptide Crystal Fibers in Wearable and Implantable Bioelectronics Background With the rapid development of flexible bioelectronics, the development of piezoelectric materials and devices with high elasticity, breathability, and the ability to achieve conformal deformation with the human body has become an important res...
Research on Flexible Gait Sensors for Quadruped Robot Applications Background Introduction With the widespread application of robots in daily life and industrial production, especially in scenarios requiring standardized, persistent, and heavy-duty operations, the development of intelligent robots has gradually become a trend. However, robots still...
Study on Surface Modification of Polyimide Fibers to Promote Ligament-Bone Healing Academic Background Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common sports injuries worldwide, with approximately 1 in 1,250 people requiring ACL reconstruction surgery each year. Currently, the main methods for ACL reconstruction include autografts...
High-precision Base Editing Technology in Primates and Human Retina Research Background Stargardt disease is a currently untreatable, inherited neurodegenerative disease that leads to macular degeneration and blindness due to loss-of-function mutations in the ABCA4 gene. The protein encoded by the ABCA4 gene is a membrane lipid flippase localized i...
Academic Background The field of neuroscience has long been dedicated to understanding how neural circuits generate and control complex behaviors. Although simple model organisms, such as mollusks, crustaceans, and annelids, have provided valuable models for research due to their accessible nervous systems and large characteristic neurons, in many ...
Radiation-Induced Cellular Plasticity Primes Glioblastoma for Forskolin-Mediated Differentiation Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the deadliest brain cancers in adults, with a median survival period of only 15 to 18 months for patients. Although surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy can delay disease progression, these treatments ...
