A Wearable Supercapacitor Based on Conductive PEDOT:PSS‐Coated Cloth and a Sweat Electrolyte

open access: yesAdvances in Materials, 2020
A sweat‐based flexible supercapacitor (SC) for self‐powered smart textiles and wearable systems is presented. The developed SC uses sweat as the electrolyte and poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as the active electrode ...

In Situ Growth Intercalation Structure MXene@Anatase/Rutile TiO2 Ternary Heterojunction with Excellent Phosphoprotein Detection in Sweat

open access: yesBiosensors, 2022
Abnormal protein phosphorylation may relate to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s. Therefore, the real-time detection of phosphoproteins in sweat was of great significance for the early knowledge, detection, and treatment of ...

Wilson protein expression, copper excretion and sweat production in sweat glands of Wilson disease patients and controls

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2008
Background In Wilson disease, copper is not sufficiently excreted into bile due to the absence or malfunction of the Wilson protein copper ATPase in the excretory pathway of hepatocytes. Copper is found in sweat. It is unknown if the Wilson protein plays

Excitement-Induced Cutaneous Bleeding (Haematidrosis-like) in a Dog

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences, 2021
A 15-month-old intact female Pitbull was referred because of recurrent, episodic, self-limiting, excitement-induced bleeding from nontraumatised skin. No abnormalities were detected upon physical examination.

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Textile-Based Sensors for Biosignal Detection and Monitoring

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Biosignals often have to be detected in sports or for medical reasons. Typical biosignals are pulse and ECG (electrocardiogram), breathing, blood pressure, skin temperature, oxygen saturation, bioimpedance, etc.

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...
