Ultra-High Sensitive NO Gas Sensor Based on Tunable Polarity Transport in CVD-WS/IGZO p-N Heterojunction.

In this work, a thin-film transistor gas sensor based on the p-N heterojunction is fabricated by stacking chemical vapor deposition-grown tungsten disulfide (WS) with a sputtered indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) film. To the best of our knowledge, the present device has the best NO gas sensor response compared to all the gas sensors based on transition-metal dichalcogenide materials. The gas-sensing response is investigated under different NO concentrations, adopting heterojunction device mode and transistor mode.

Mouse trefoil factor 3 ameliorated high-fat-diet-induced hepatic steatosis via increasing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α-mediated fatty acid oxidation.

Hepatic trefoil factor 3 (Tff3) was identified as a potential protein for the treatment of diabetes, yet the effect of Tff3 on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has never been explored. Here, we found that the expression of hepatic Tff3 was significantly decreased in NAFLD mice models, suggesting that Tff3 was a potential marker gene for NAFLD. Restoring the expression of Tff3 in the liver of NAFLD mice, including diabetic (db), obese (ob/ob), and diet-induced obese mice, with adenovirus-mediated Tff3 () apparently attenuates the fatty liver phenotype.
