1. Liquid metal microscale deposition for soft and stretchable skin-like electronics : Providing a soft and gentle contact to living beings
Abstract : Skin-like electronics could provide a soft and gentle contact with living beings for perceiving and delivering the information of pressure, strain, temperature with higher spatial resolution and sensitivity than our skin, without disturbing the user. Gallium-based liquid metal (LM) is an excellent material for soft and stretchable skin-like devices, since it has high electrical and thermal conductivity, flowability, and self-healable capability.

3. Studies on the effect of orexin on upper gastrointestinal function in rats and man
Abstract : Aims: To define the morphological localisation of orexin A (OXA) in the gut, and study the effect of endogenous and peripherally administered OXA on fasting small bowel motility, gastric emptying and acid secretion, hormones involved in glucose homeostasis and pharmacokinetic profile of OXA in rats and humans. Methods: The distribution of OXA, orexin receptors 1 and 2 (OX1 R, OX2R), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and various peptides were studied with immunocytochemistry in rat and human gut.
