We report the successful fabrication of a micro-pseudocapacitor based on ternary nickel cobalt sulfide for the first time, with performance substantially exceeding that of previously reported micro-pseudocapacitors based on binary sulfides. The CoNi2S4 micro-pseudocapacitor exhibits a maximum energy density of 18.7 mW h cm(-3) at a power density of 1163 mW cm(-3), and opens up an avenue for exp...

The evaluation of angiogenesis inhibitors requires the analysis precise structure and function tumor vessels. anti-angiogenic agents lenvatinib sorafenib are multi-target tyrosine kinase that have been approved for treatment hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, different effects on vasculature between not well understood. In this study, we analyzed both drugs vascular function, including no...

Lymph node metastasis is an important prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D) is a lymphangiogenic growth factor that activates VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-3, a receptor expressed in the lymphatic endothelium. We investigated the clinical value of VEGF-D expression and VEGFR-3 positive vessel density in gastric carcinoma with regard to lymphangiogenesis. Imm...

VEGF signaling inhibition decreases alveolar and vessel growth in the developing lung, suggesting that impaired VEGF signaling may contribute to decreased lung growth in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Whether VEGF treatment improves lung structure in experimental models of BPD is unknown. The objective was to determine whether VEGF treatment enhances alveolarization in infant rats after hype...

composite pressure vessel cng made of epoxy – carbon material with nonmetal liner is 60% lighter than aluminum vessel under the same conditions. one of the important parameters in the pressure vessels design is their resistance against impact and prevention of explosion. in this paper, the effects of low velocity impact on composite pressure vessel are investigated using fe analysis. the vessel...

We are developing microfluidic cell cultures in remodelable hydrogel scaffolds to recapitulate tumor angiogenesis in a physiologically relevant, spatiotemporally-controlled in vitro system. Despite significant progress in vascular research, many of the parameters contributing to aberrant endothelial function remain unclear. To address these questions, we micro-tissue engineered biomimetic blood...
