From Food to Power: Hydrogel Thermoelectrics for Ingestible Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a fully edible thermoelectric–electrochromic platform that harvests heat from food and converts it into a visible color change. N‐type and p‐type hydrogel thermoelectric generators connected in series power anthocyanin‐based electrochromic displays, demonstrating the feasibility of safe, biodegradable, ingestible systems for on‐food ...

Basement membrane zone proteins in wound healing: Insights from epidermolysis bullosa models

Dermatologica Sinica
The epidermal basement membrane zone (eBMZ) plays a central role in skin integrity and regeneration by anchoring keratinocytes to the underlying dermis and supporting epidermal stem cell maintenance. Inherited defects in eBMZ proteins cause epidermolysis

Skin tears flap management in patient affected by dermatoporosis

Senses and Sciences, 2018
BACKGROUND Dermatoporosis is the chronic cutaneous atrophy syndrome that makes the skin particularly fragile and it is the main risk factor in the onset of skin tears (ST). The syndrome is still little known in our country and the particularity acquired

Self‐Sintering Ionogel Binder for Flexible, Recyclable, and Healable Printed Giant Magnetoresistive Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electronic waste has emerged as a major environmental challenge, driven by the massive consumption and a limited lifetime of modern electronic devices, stimulating the development of sustainable electronics. Here, an all‐biomaterial gelatin‐choline‐citric acid ([Ch][CA]) ionogel is developed as an active binder to realize self‐sintered ...

Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

Epidemiology of "fragile skin": results from a survey of different skin types.

Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2013
Epidemiologic information regarding the prevalence of "fragile skin" in different adult populations is currently limited. The objective of the current survey was to assess the occurrence of perceived "fragile skin" across different skin types in the general adult population.Individuals aged 15-65 years from five representative geographic regions ...
