Arsenic Activates the NLRP3 Inflammasome and Disturbs the Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg Balance in the Hippocampus in Mice.

Arsenic exerts neurotoxicity and immunomodulatory effects. Studies have shown that the nervous system is not considered to be an immune-privileged site. However, the effect of arsenic-induced neuroimmune toxicity has rarely been reported.

Klotho functionalization on vascular graft for improved patency and endothelialization.

The Klotho (KL) gene is related to aging. In this study, SKL (secreted KL) and heparin were cross-linked to the acellular small intestinal submucosa (SIS). Based on this, tissue-engineered bioactive small blood vessels were constructed.

Flexible Waterproof Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors with Wide Linear Working Range Based on Conductive Fabrics.

Highlights: The laser-engraved method was introduced to fabricate the electrode for the sensor. The sensor showed a wide linear working range, superior sensitivity, and fast response time and also exhibited excellent viability in a wet situation. Wireless integrated network sensors successfully monitored the health states.

Cellular Carbon-Film-Based Flexible Sensor and Waterproof Supercapacitors.

A highly sensitive portable piezoresistive sensor with a fast response time in an extended linear working range is urgently needed to meet the rapid development of artificial intelligence, interactive human-machine interfaces, and ubiquitous flexible electronics. However, it is a challenge to rationally couple these figures of merit (sensitivity, response time, and working range) together as they typically show functionally correlative behavior in the sensor. Here, we aim at introducing the hierarchical pores across several size orders from micro- to larger scale into the intrinsically flexible graphene-based electrode materials that overcome this limitation of the sensor.

Stereolithographic 3D Printing-Based Hierarchically Cellular Lattices for High-Performance Quasi-Solid Supercapacitor.

3D printing-based supercapacitors have been extensively explored, yet the rigid rheological requirement for corresponding ink preparation significantly limits the manufacturing of true 3D architecture in achieving superior energy storage. We proposed the stereolithographic technique to fabricate the metallic composite lattices with octet-truss arrangement by using electroless plating and engineering the 3D hierarchically porous graphene onto the scaffolds to build the hierarchically cellular lattices in quasi-solid supercapacitor application. The supercapacitor device that is composed of composite lattices span several pore size orders from nm to mm holds promising behavior on the areal capacitance (57.
