Piezoresistive sensors based on electrospun mats modified by 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene
( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article)The preparation methodology and properties of electroconductive, electrospun mats composed of copolyamide 6,10 and Ti3C2Tx are described in this paper. Mats of several compositions were prepared from a solution of n-propanol. ... -
Piezoresponse, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of synthetic spider silk nanofibers
( MDPI AG , 2018 , Article)This work presents electrospun nanofibers from synthetic spider silk protein, and their application as both a mechanical vibration and humidity sensor. Spider silk solution was synthesized from minor ampullate silk protein ... -
Pigment epithelium-derived factor inhibits retinal microvascular dysfunction induced by 12/15-lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoids
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)We recently demonstrated that 12/15-lipoxygenase (LOX) derived metabolites, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), contribute to diabetic retinopathy (DR) via NADPH oxidase (NOX) and disruption of the balance in retinal ... -
Pill-burden and its association with treatment burden among patients with advanced stages of chronic kidney disease
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with multimorbidity and high treatment burden. Pill-burden is one component of the overall treatment burden. However, little is known about its magnitude and ... -
