Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

THE INTRAVENOUS GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST [PDF]

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences, 1956
1. Two indices of glucose tolerance, the “total index” and the “increment index”, derived from an intravenous glucose tolerance test have been defined, and determined in, 20 normal and 15 diabetic subjects.2. The “total index” is based on the assumption that the rate of fall of blood glucose remains consistently proportional to the total blood glucose ...

Oral Dosed Organo‐Silica Nanoparticles Restore Glucose Homeostasis and β‐Cell Function in Diabetes Rats

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An oral nanoplatform, MOP@T@D, which can maintain glucose homeostasis and restore islet β cells in diabetic rats is developed. It achieves efficient intestinal absorption and liver‐targeted delivery. The nanoparticle disintegrates only in response to hyperglycemia to release insulin on demand and provides antioxidant protection through selenoprotein ...

Myths and methodologies: Assessing glycaemic control and associated regulatory mechanisms in human physiology research

Experimental Physiology
Accurate measurements of glycaemic control and the underpinning regulatory mechanisms are vital in human physiology research. Glycaemic control is the maintenance of blood glucose concentrations within optimal levels and is governed by physiological ...

Role of HbA1c in post-partum screening of women with gestational diabetes mellitus

Journal of Clinical & Translational Endocrinology, 2015
Aim: To compare the performance of HbA1c with established glucose criteria during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and to assess HbA1c as a screening test for undiagnosed diabetes and pre-diabetes after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Germanane Quantum Dots Promote Metabolic Reprogramming of Immune Cells Toward Regulatory T Cells and Suppress Inflammation In Vitro and In Vivo

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metabolic changes in immune cells direct the phenotype and function of the host immune system. Smart nanomaterials must target metabolic pathways to direct immune cell fate. This study reports the fabrication and first application of germanane quantum dots (GeHQDs) to modulate inflammation in vitro and in vivo.

Astrocyte‐Guided Maturation of Neural Constructs in a Modular Biosynthetic Hydrogel for Biohybrid Neurotechnologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A modular biosynthetic PVA–gelatin hydrogel crosslinked via visible‐light thiol‐ene chemistry is engineered as a coating for neural electrodes. Optimizing matrix composition and mechanical properties enables the hydrogel to support astrocytic populations that guide neural differentiation and functional maturation.
