A recent study conducted at Jiaxing University in China has found that glial growth factor 2 (GGF2) treatment can alleviate damage to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) caused by ischemia and reperfusion. The BBB is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the central nervous system, and its impairment can lead to complications following stroke treatment. The researchers discovered that GGF2 treatment reduced BBB damage, decreased transcellular and paracellular permeability, and inhibited the activation of inflammatory factors. These findings suggest that GGF2 could be a potential therapeutic option for reducing BBB damage in acute ischemic stroke. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Jiaxing, China discusses the development of flexible tactile sensors using carbon nanotubes. These sensors have potential applications in biomedicine, motion detection, and human-computer interaction. The researchers have created a composite material consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, silver nanowires, and silicone rubber, which exhibits high sensitivity and flexibility. The sensors have shown good dynamic response, repeatability, and long life, making them suitable for use in smart robots, prosthetics, and wearable devices. The study provides valuable insights into the field of nanotechnology and carbon nanotubes. [Extracted from the article]
