Pressure and temperature sensing simultaneously and independently is crucial for creating electronic skin that replicates complex sensory functions of human skin. Thin-film transistor (TFT) arrays with sensors have enabled cross-talk-free spatial sensing. However, the thermal dependence of charge transport in semiconductors has resulted in interference between thermal and pressure stimuli.

Although their gas sensing mechanism primarily relies on direct charge transfer, the underlying mechanisms of SnSe and SnSe remain unclear, despite various reported successes in phase engineering of SnSe. Here, we investigate phase engineering of SnSe in a hydrothermal route via 1-dodecanethiol (1-DDT), which served as a phase stabilizer, and comprehensively demonstrate phase-dependent NO detection properties.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a cellular organelle involved in protein folding, lipid synthesis, and calcium regulation. Perturbations in these functions can lead to ER stress, which contributes to the development and progression of metabolic disorders such as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).

Additionally, regulatory T cells (Tregs) that have an immune suppressive function are involved in the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with NP (CRSwNP). Tregs can act as effector cells that produce inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-17A.
