Reversible Hydration Composite Films for Evaporative Perspiration Control and Heat Stress Management
A super-hygroscopic zinc-poly(vinyl alcohol) composite film is developed to improve thermal comfort for healthcare workers. With the composite film attached to the personal protective equipment, the water vapor accumulated is rapidly absorbed by the film. A steep vapor pressure gradient is created to facilitate sweat evaporation and relieve the heat stress experienced by healthcare workers. AbstractDonning of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the healthcare sector has been intensified by the on-going COVID-19 pandemic around the globe. While extensive PPE provides protection, it typically limits moisture permeability ...

Geniposide Alleviates Glucocorticoid-Induced Inhibition of Osteogenic Differentiation in MC3T3-E1 Cells by ERK Pathway
Conclusion In summary, we demonstrated that geniposide alleviated GC-induced osteogenic suppression in MC3T3-E1 cells. The effects of geniposide were at least partially associated with activating ERK signaling pathway via GLP-1 receptor. Geniposide might be a potential therapeutic agent for protection against GC-induced osteoporosis. Author Contributions BX, DX, CZ, and LW participated in research design.
