Stretchable photosensors, which operate in the wavelength window of 1.3 μm, were fabricated with InN nanowires (NWs) and graphene to serve as a light-absorbing medium and carrier channel, respectively. Specifically, the stretchable photosensors were fabricated by transferring InN NWs embedded in graphene layers onto polyurethane substrates pre-stretched at the strain levels of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60%.

Moreover, there is a need for low-dose compounds since liver toxicity was found with some BACE inhibitors.
Objective: To determine whether the high potency and robust pharmacodynamic effect of the BACE inhibitor LY3202626 observed in nonclinical species translated to humans.
Background: Eflapegrastim (Rolontis) is a novel long-acting pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Eflapegrastim has been developed to reduce the duration and incidence of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in cancer patients using patient-friendly, less-frequent administration.
Objective: This phase I study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and immunogenicity of eflapegrastim following a single subcutaneous administration to healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects.
Background: KM-819 is a novel FAS-associated factor 1 (FAF1) inhibitor, and a neuroprotective agent, under clinical development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease as a disease-modifying drug.
Methods: This first-in-human, single and multiple ascending dose study investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of KM-819 in healthy volunteers. Additionally, the effect of age on safety and pharmacokinetics were assessed.
