Operando investigation on the fast two-phase transition kinetics of LiFePO4/C composite cathodes with carbon additives for lithium-ion batteries by Shih, Jengywan, Lin, Guanyin, James Li, Ying Jeng, Hung, Tai-Feng, Jose, Rajan, Karuppiah, Chelladurai, Yang, Chun–Chen

“…The carbon additives of 0D super P, 1D VGCF and 2D or 3D porous reduced graphene oxide (PGO) nanosheets containing cathodes-based, such as bare LFP/C, LFP/C/VGCF and LFP/C/PGO, half-cells were fabricated and tested at a cut-off voltage of 2.0 – 3.8 V (vs. Li/Li+). Interestingly, the LFP/C/VGCF showed better performance than the bare LFP/C and LFP/C/PGO. …”

Scaffold-mediated sustained, non-viral delivery of miR-219/miR-338 promotes CNS remyelination by Milbreta, Ulla, Lin, Junquan, Pinese, Coline, Ong, William, Chin, Jiah Shin, Shirahama, Hitomi, Mi, Ruifa, Williams, Anna, Bechler, Marie E., Wang, Jun, ffrench-Constant, Charles, Hoke, Ahmet, Chew, Sing Yian

“…Using spinal cord injury as a proof-of-concept, we further demonstrate that miR-219/miR-338 could also be delivered non-virally in vivo using an aligned fiber-hydrogel scaffold to enhance remyelination after a hemi-incision injury at C5 level of Sprague-Dawley rats. Specifically, miR-219/miR-338 mimics were incorporated as complexes with the carrier, TransIT-TKO (TKO), together with neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) within hybrid scaffolds that comprised poly(caprolactone-co-ethyl ethylene phosphate) (PCLEEP)-aligned fibers and collagen hydrogel. …”

Whence came these plants most foul? Phylogenomics and biogeography of Lowiaceae (Zingiberales) by Niissalo, Matti A., Gardner, Elliot M., Khew, Gillian S., Šída, Otakar, Poulsen, Axel Dalberg, Leong-Škornicková, Jana

“…In particular, the relatively early isolation between Indochina and Borneo could be explained by the presence of a sea barrier that developed 10–15 MYA, and the continuous movement of plant species between Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia could be explained by a land bridge that existed until c. 5 MYA. The lack of an extensive land bridge with a suitable habitat may explain the absence of this genus from Sumatra and other Indonesian islands aside from Borneo. …”
