Myostatin/Smad2/Smad3 pathway define a differential clinical phenotype in COPD-associated sarcopenia by Adriana Núñez-Robainas, Maria Guitart, Adrián López-Postigo, Antonio Sancho-Muñoz, Esther Barreiro

“…Among sarcopenic patients, myostatin and p-Smad3/Smad3 levels negatively correlated with fat-free mass index (r=−0.727, p=0.026 and r=−0.703, p=0.035, respectively), myostatin and Smad4 levels correlated with quadriceps strength (r=−0.886, p=0.003 and r=−0.431, p=0.040, respectively) and myostatin correlated with diffusion capacity (r=−0.781, p=0.022). Remarkable negative correlations were observed between clinical parameters related to body composition and quadriceps muscle strength and levels of the myostatin Smad2/Smad3 pathway, suggesting its implication in the process of muscle atrophy in COPD. …”

Polymer-assisted spinodal decomposition enabling a three-dimensional interconnected porous Na3.4Fe2.4(PO4)1.4P2O7@C material for enhanced sodium-ion batteries by Nian Yang, Ruiyuan Tian, Fei Du

“…However, the application is often constrained by the inherently sluggish Na+ diffusion and low electronic conductivity. Herein, we synthesized a 3D interconnected porous structural pure-phase nonstoichiometric Na3.4Fe2.4(PO4)1.4P2O7/carbon composite (3DP-NFPP@C). …”

On the Electrochemical Performance and Capacity Losses Seen for LiFePO4 Electrodes in Carbonate Electrolytes at Potentials up to 5.0 V versus Li+/Li by Ahmed S. Etman, Leif Nyholm

“…The results further indicate that the lithiation of delithiated LFP electrode is incomplete. This yields a diffusion‐controlled capacity loss as some Li+ ions (and associated electrons) diffuse too far into the electrode to be accessible on the timescale of the subsequent delithiation. …”

Laser powder bed fusion of H13 tool steel with tungsten-lanthanum oxide particles addition by Chunli Cui, Dongxiang Wang, Zhenhua Hao, Pei Wang, Rulong Ma, Yongchun Shu, Jilin He

“…The effect of the addition content of W-La2O3 particles on the microstructure, densification and mechanical properties of W-La2O3 reinforced H13 steel composites was systematically investigated. The results show that the addition of W-La2O3 can effectively eliminate the carbon in H13 steel during the LPBF process by the formation of WCX diffusion layer and eliminate the fraction of the unstable austenite produced in H13 steel from 23.3% to 6.7%. …”
