Hydrogen is a zero-emissive fuel and has immense potential to replace carbon-emitting fuels in the future. The development of efficient H sensors is essential for preventing hazardous situations and facilitating the widespread usage of hydrogen. Chemiresistors are popular gas sensors owing to their attractive properties such as fast response, miniaturization, simple integration with electronics and low cost.

- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has improved diabetes care for outpatients, but access barriers still exist, notably due to racial disparities, cost, and a lack of specialized care.
- The commentary reviews these barriers and discusses how addressing them can lead to better diabetes management and outcomes.

Extracting ECM from viscera requires a specific decellularization method, as no standardized protocol exists. This study performed three decellularization methods: sonication, orbital shaking at room temperature, and agitation at 4°C, using SDS and TX100 at concentrations of 0.
