Effects of dispersion surfactants on the properties of ceramic – carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites [PDF]

, 2014
Gum Arabic (GA), Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and their mixture were used for the dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in an alumina matrix. A good dispersion at low loadings (0.5-1 wt%) of CNTs in alumina was achieved by an ultrasonic bath

GPR124 Alleviates Blood–Brain Barrier Disruption by Enhancing Microvascular Endothelial Function after Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our study reveals the protective role of GPR124 in maintaining BBB integrity and promoting neurological recovery following TBI. It makes a significant contribution by uncovering a novel molecular interaction between GPR124 and FGFBP1 and linking this to activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway in vascular repair mechanisms.
