Model and Experimental Characteristics of a Pneumatic Linear Peristaltic Actuator
Pneumatic linear peristaltic actuators present several potential advantages over conventional ones such as low cost, virtually unlimited stroke, and an easy implementation of curved motion profiles.However, the body of this type of actuators also suffers from high mechanical lightning to usb apple stress, leading to a decrease in the hose wall thic
Extracellular Vesicle-Based Detection of Pancreatic Cancer
Due to a grim prognosis, there is an urgent need to detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) prior to metastasis.However, reliable diagnostic imaging methods or biomarkers for PDAC or its precursor lesions are still scarce.ADAM8, a metalloprotease-disintegrin, is highly expressed in PDAC tissue and negatively correlates with patient survival.
