Co-transplantation of pancreatic islets and microvascular fragments effectively restores normoglycemia in diabetic mice

Abstract Insufficient revascularization of pancreatic islets is one of the major obstacles impairing the success of islet transplantation.To overcome this problem, we introduce in the present study a straightforward strategy to accelerate the engraftment of isolated islets.For this purpose, we co-transplanted 250 islets and 20,000 adipose tissue-de

Progress and perspective of the cathode/electrolyte interface construction in all‐solid‐state lithium batteries

Abstract Security risks of flammability and explosion represent major problems with the use of conventional lithium rechargeable batteries using a liquid electrolyte.The application of solid?state electrolytes could effectively help to avoid these safety concerns.However, integrating the solid?state electrolytes into the all?solid?state lithium bat

Boosting the Motor Outcome of the Untrained Hand by Action Observation: Mirror Visual Feedback, Video Therapy, or Both Combined—What Is More Effective?

Action observation (AO) allows access to a network that processes visuomotor and sensorimotor inputs and is believed to be involved in observational learning of motor skills.We conducted three consecutive experiments to examine the boosting effect of AO on the motor outcome of the untrained hand by either mirror visual feedback (MVF), video therapy

High-intensity activity is more strongly associated with metabolic health in children compared to sedentary time: a cross-sectional study of the I.Family cohort

Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) during childhood is important for preventing future metabolic syndrome (MetS).To examine the relationship between PA and MetS in more detail, accurate measures of PA are needed.Previous studies have only utilized a Steamrollers small part of the information available from accelerometer measured PA.This stu
