A New Insight into Cross‐Sensitivity to Humidity of SnO 2 Sensor

High-sensitivity humidity sensor based on a single SnO(2) nanowire.

Nanowires (NWs) and nanobelts (NBs) are considered as ideal building blocks for constructing nanosized devices due to high surface to volume ratio and their special physical and chemical properties resulting from the reduced sizes. Until now, many semiconductor NWs/NBs have been successfully applied in nanodevices, including nanolasers,1 nanogenerators,2 and various chemical and biological nano...

Mitophagy: New Insight into the Cardiovascular Aging  

New insight into the clinico-histomycological aspects of onychomycosis and a review of the literature

Background: Onychomycosis (OM) is the infection of nails caused by a variety of fungi. As systemic antifungal treatment is necessary in the majority of patients, appropriate diagnostic techniques are important to ensure a correct diagnosis and treatment. Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the clinical, mycological, and histological aspects of onychomycosis in detail. Methods: A c...

New insight into transglutaminase 2 and link to neurodegenerative diseases

Formation of toxic protein aggregates is a common feature and mainly contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), which include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and prion diseases. The transglutaminase 2 (TG2) gene encodes a multifunctional enzyme, displaying four types of activity, such as transamidation, GTPase, protein disu...

New Insight into the Relation between Adiponectin and Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases. Insulin resistance is defined as a state that needs more insulin to get the biological effects achieved by a lower amount of insulin in the normal state. Several molecules which are secreted through adipocytes have been involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adiponectin as a 244 amino acid protein is exclusively expressed...
