Thermostable terahertz metasurface enabled by graphene assembly film for plasmon-induced transparency by Xiaotian Huang, Bohan Zhang, Weijia Han, Jiageng Bai, Wei Qian, Zhe Wang, Daping He, Yi Xiong, Wei Zhu, Shengxiang Wang

“…In addition, to make GAF a prime candidate to replace micro-nano metals, we have modified its fabrication process for improving its conductivity to 1.3 × 106 S/m, which is quite close to metals. Thus, micro-nano optoelectronic devices could retain high efficiency even when GAF replaces the crucial micro-nano metals. …”

Inter-individual Variability in Psychological Outcomes of Supervised Exercise in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes / Variabilidad interindividual en los efectos psicológicos del ejercici... by Marco Guicciardi, Romina Lecis, Davide Massidda, Lucina Corgiolu, Adelina Porru, Matteo Pusceddu, Francesca Spanu

“…La autoeficacia y la percepción de estrés se relacionan con las barreras para realizar ejercicio en pacientes T2DM; por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio longitudinal consiste en investigar las variaciones a través del tiempo y las diferencias individuales en ambas variables, como efectos de un entrenamiento de ejercicio supervisado (6 meses), en una muestra pequeña de pacientes diagnosticados con TD2M. Los resultados muestran una disminución general de los valores promedio de la autoeficacia y del estrés percibido a los 6 meses y una alta variabilidad individual en ambas variables. …”

Kindlin-1 promotes gastric cancer cell motility through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by Jun-Ho Jang, Jiyoon Jung, Hyeon-Gu Kang, Woong Kim, Won-Jin Kim, Hana Lee, Ju Yeon Cho, Ran Hong, Jeong Won Kim, Joon-Yong Chung, Kyung-Hee Chun, Seok-Jun Kim

“…Kindlin-1 showed significantly higher expression in gastric cancer tissues than that in normal tissues, and high Kindlin-1 expression was associated with poor prognosis. Further, the mRNA and protein expression of Kindlin-1 were high in gastric cancer cell lines, where they were associated with increased proliferation, migration, and invasion. …”
