Highly Deformable, Ion-Conductive Borohydride-Substituted Sulfide Electrolyte for Superior Performance at Low Stack Pressure.

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are promising next-generation energy storage systems that can replace conventional lithium-ion batteries. Further enhancement in battery performance requires the formation of a stable physical interfacial contact between the active material (AM) in the electrode and the solid electrolyte (SE). However, reducing the resistance at the AM-SE interface remains a key challenge.

An adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer education initiative aimed at healthcare students in Japan.

Background: The focus on cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYA) has increased in recent years. We participated in an event called AYA week 2021 as part of a research project of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) and conducted a fact-finding survey to collect information for raising public awareness of AYA-generation cancers and to improve support for AYA-generation cancer patients.

Methods: A 25-item questionnaire survey was conducted through requests sent to the deans of medical schools and presidents of related universities across Japan and by advertising on social networking sites and friendship networks.

Effects of Long-term Thrombin Inhibition (Dabigatran Etexilate) on Spontaneous Thrombolytic Activity during the Progression of Atherosclerosis in ApoE-LDLR Double-Knockout Mice.

Background And Objectives: Atherosclerosis is characterized by a hypercoagulable state, during which coagulation and fibrinolytic factors are activated simultaneously. However, details regarding the thrombolytic pathway in this context remain unknown. Here we investigated how direct long-term inhibition of thrombin influenced spontaneous thrombolytic activity during atherosclerotic progression in apolipoprotein E (ApoE)⁻/⁻-low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)⁻/⁻ double-knockout mice.

Changes in spontaneous thrombolytic activity during progression of atherosclerosis in Apo and LDLR double knockout mice.

Background: Atherosclerosis is characterized by a hypercoagulable state, during which both coagulation and thrombolytic factors are activated simultaneously. However, details regarding the thrombolytic pathway in this context remain unknown. Here we investigated the changes in spontaneous thrombolytic activity during atherosclerotic progression in ApoLDLR double-knockout mice (DKO group).
