TL;DR: Using tetrahexahedral gold nanorods as a heterogeneous electrocatalyst, an electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction was shown to be possible at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, with a high Faradic efficiency up to 4.02% at -0.2 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode.

TL;DR: Graphene foam, a 3D porous structure, is used as a novel scaffold for NSCs in vitro and phenotypic analysis indicated that 3D-GFs can enhance the NSC differentiation towards astrocytes and especially neurons.

TL;DR: The results reveal that graphene substrates exhibited excellent biocompatibility, as cell viability and morphology were not affected and neurites, one of the key structures for neural functions, are affected by graphene during the development until maturation in a mouse hippocampal culture model.

TL;DR: In this article, a thin film nanocomposite (TFN) with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) was fabricated with enhanced water permeability and antifouling property, and the surface chemical features and morphologies of the resultant TFN membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photo-electron spectrograms, water contact angle, zeta potential, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements.

TL;DR: Investigation of the roles of activated platelets in driving epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transdifferentiation (FMT) in endometriosis found thatactivated platelets, through the release of TGF-β1 and the induction of T GF-β/Smad signaling pathway, promoted EMT and FMT in endometricriosis, resulting in increased cell contractility, collagen production, and
