Cat‐Vibrissa‐Inspired Biomass Fiber Aerogels for Flexible and Highly Sensitive Sensors in Monitoring Human Sport

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by cat vibrissae, biomimetic biomass PHFs/SA aerogels (BFAs) are developed via precursor‐assisted in situ polymerization and freeze‐synergistic assembly. These ultralight, porous pressure sensors exhibit high sensitivity and excellent durability, enabling pulse detection, handwriting recognition, Morse code transmission, and notably real‐time ...

Fabrication of Free‐Standing Undulating Graphene Oxide Modular Tapered Pipes Using the Marangoni Effect

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Free‐standing undulating graphene oxide (GO) modular tapered pipes fabricated based on the Marangoni effect and viscosity control are modular tubular structures that effectively utilize the lamination process between GO films. This novel tubular GO structure allows for the realization of various forms through the assembly of identical modules ...

Role and regulation of Abelson tyrosine kinase in Crk-associated substrate/profilin-1 interaction and airway smooth muscle contraction

Respiratory Research, 2018
Background Airway smooth muscle contraction is critical for maintenance of appropriate airway tone, and has been implicated in asthma pathogenesis. Smooth muscle contraction requires an “engine” (myosin activation) and a “transmission system” (actin ...
