Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) treatment in model systems for wound healing, spinal cord injury and heart disease have demonstrated a greater versus the ‘vehicle’ treated group due to the cells ability to engraft and contribute to new tissue as well as decrease apoptosis and inflammation. All of these properties are associated with superior tissue healing. […]

Another consequence of these policies has […]

Measurement of the SOC is one of the basic functions of BMS for lithium-ion batteries pack in EVs. It is equivalent to fuel gauge in conventional vehicles which will indicate the miles cars can still run and when they should be charged. So the accurate SOC is needed to estimate to prolong the lifetime and […]
