Exploring differences in protein cargo of extracellular vesicles from ME/CFS patient plasma compared to healthy controls.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic and debilitating disease characterized by post-exertional malaise, fatigue and pain. Yet, its underlying biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles carrying biological cargo a…
Photopolymerizable placenta-derived ECM hydrogel enhances hUC-MSC-mediated wound healing via coordinated immunomodulation and angiogenesis.
Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) hold great promise for regenerative medicine due to their potent immunomodulatory properties and favorable safety profile. However, their low survival, poor retention, and limited engraftment in injured tissues remain major barriers to clinical efficacy. Here, w…
Non-Fluorinated Functional Polyolefin for Puncture-Resistant and Self-Healable Proton Exchange Membranes of Fuel Cells.
The development of puncture-resistant and self-healing proton exchange membranes (PEMs) is vital for enhancing fuel cells' (FCs) durability and safety; however, it remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report a non-fluorinated polyolefin-based PEM that integrates autonomous self-healing, punctu…
A review of electro-hydrogen synergistic systems: from key material breakthroughs, multi-timescale control to full-chain integration.
Under the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality targets, electro-hydrogen synergetic systems have emerged as a promising pathway for cross-temporal energy conversion and deep decarbonization across power, transport, and industrial sectors via the electricity-hydrogen-electricity. The system can enhan…
Mechanism-Guided Design Strategies for Stabilizing Ruthenium Oxide Anodes in Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis.
Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is a leading route to low-carbon hydrogen, yet its anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains constrained by the scarcity and instability of noble-metal catalysts under strongly acidic, high-current operation. Ruthenium oxides are attractive al…
Home, School, and Community Participation of Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy and Peers With Typical Development.
To compare participation patterns across home, school, and community settings between children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) and peers with typical development (TD), and examine environmental facilitators and barriers to participation. Parents of 70 children with UCP and 70 peers with TD comp…
Advances in basic-group-containing polyaromatic membranes via superacid-catalyzed polyhydroxyalkylation for high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs), operating at 120-200 °C, offer clear advantages over low temperature systems, including faster electrode kinetics, higher carbon monoxide tolerance, and simplified heat and water management. The core of HT-PEMFCs is the high temp…
Multimedia education improves knowledge and follow-up in retinopathy of prematurity.
Written patient education material (PEM) adhering to health literacy standards has been shown to improve parent understanding and clinic follow-up attendance rates in infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Video education can further improve patient understanding in patients with limited lit…
