A Review of Fast Bubble-Driven Micromotors Powered by Biocompatible Fuel: Low-Concentration Fuel, Bioactive Fluid and Enzyme
Micromotors are extensively applied in various fields, including cell separation, drug delivery and environmental protection.Micromotors with high speed and good biocompatibility are highly desirable.Bubble-driven micromotors, propelled by the recoil effect of bubbles ejection, show good performance of motility.The toxicity of concentrated hydrogen
Effects of Lipoic Acid on High-Fat Diet-Induced Alteration of Synaptic Plasticity and Brain Glucose Metabolism: A PET/CT and 13C-NMR Study
Abstract High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity is accompanied by insulin resistance and compromised brain synaptic plasticity through the impairment of insulin-sensitive pathways regulating neuronal survival, learning, and memory.Lipoic acid is known to modulate the redox status of the cell and has insulin mimetic effects.This study was aimed at dete
Molecular data and species diagnosis in Essigella Del Guercio, 1909 (Sternorrhyncha, Aphididae, Lachninae)
Morphological and molecular data are used to describe three new species of Essigella (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae: Lachninae): Essigella domenechi jacques marie mage baudelaire 2 sp.n., Essigella gagnonae sp.n., and Essigella sorenseni sp.n.; and to re-establish as valid Essigella patchae Hottes, 1957, stat.n., until now considered a synonym of E.pin
