Influence of blade trailing edge profile on pressure pulsation in high-speed centrifugal pump
High-speed centrifugal pump can easily lead to severe pressure pulsation due to complex flow, seriously influencing the stable operation. The slant-cutting suction surface to the blade trailing edge midpoint is proposed to improve the fluid flow and ...

Urinary Collagen Peptides Predict Mortality
ABSTRACT Organ fibrosis caused by the presence of excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) is related to mortality. Urinary peptide signatures were reported to be predictive of death in SARS‐CoV‐2 and chronic kidney disease. Such signatures were composed for 68% of collagen fragments.

Cationic‐Hydrophilic Di‐Block Copolymers: Surface‐Shielded Vectors for Gene Delivery
This study develops synthetic polycationic di‐block carriers for nucleic acid (NA) delivery in gene therapy. Consisting of a cationic block and a hydrophilic block, these carriers efficiently form complexes with NAs and shield them with a protective bioinert layer, enhancing stability during circulation in the bloodstream while reducing undesirable ...
