Administration of a Next-Generation Probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917-GLP-1 Alleviates Diabetes in Mice With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes by Jie Luo, Yilin Fang, Zhanghua Qi, Fengyang Cui, Hong Hu, Shengjie Li, Tingtao Chen, Hongyan Zhang

“…Furthermore, it exhibited a protective influence on the structural integrity of islet β-cells; downregulated the expressions of key inflammatory markers such as TLR-4, p-NF-κB/NF-κB, and Bax/Bcl-2; promoted the insulin secretion; and reinstated the perturbed diversity of microbial species to a normal state. Similarly, EcN-GLP-1 had a pronounced impact on T2DM mice, manifesting increased presence of islet β-cells, decreased inflammatory response and apoptosis, and regulation of lipid metabolism in the liver. …”

Ir-O-Mn embedded in porous nanosheets enhances charge transfer in low-iridium PEM electrolyzers by Dawei Wang, Fangxu Lin, Heng Luo, Jinhui Zhou, Wenshu Zhang, Lu Li, Yi Wei, Qinghua Zhang, Lin Gu, Yanfei Wang, Mingchuan Luo, Fan Lv, Shaojun Guo

“…Ir-O-Mn bonds are unraveled to serve as efficient charge-transfer channels between in-situ electrochemically-formed IrOx clusters and MnOx matrix, fostering the generation and stabilization of highly active Ir3+ species. Notably, Ir/MnOx-based PEMWE demonstrates comparable performance under 10-fold lower Ir loading (0.2 mgIr cm−2), taking a low cell voltage of 1.63 V to deliver 1 A cm−2 for over 300 h, which positions it among the elite of low Ir-based PEMWEs.…”
