We conducted a label-free optical coherence tomography (OCT) longitudinal imaging using an AD mouse model. We achieved the tracking of the same individual vessels over time and conducted an in-depth analysis of temporal dynamics in vasculature and vasodynamics using OCT angiography and Doppler-OCT.

This paper provides a special flexible graphene film based capacitive wireless power transfer (FGCPT) system for powering biomedical sensors of smart wearable devices. The graphene conductive material is flexible, transparent, highly conductive, and impermeable to most gases and liquids. Generally, the coupling structure of capacitive wireless power transfer (CPT) system is consisted of metal plates.

After 5 weeks of CAPE supplementation, insulin sensitivity, hyperlipidemia, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) levels were improved in mice. Proinflammatory cytokines in serum and the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mRNA in tissues were markedly downregulated from CAPE-treated mice.
