Aim Stroke is the leading cause of disability and death in China. Ischaemic stroke accounts
for about 60%–80% of all strokes. It is of considerable significance to carry out …

We review thixotropy, its attributes, and accompanying rheological phenomena, such as
yielding, hysteresis in shear-rate ramps, the influence of rest time and viscosity bifurcation …

The blood-brain barrier (BBB), as a crucial gate of brain-blood molecular exchange, is
involved in the pathogenesis of multiple neurological diseases. Oxidative stress is caused …

In recent years, increasing studies have been reported on characterization and detection of
microplastics (MPs), and their interactions with organic pollutants (OPs) and heavy metals …

Three-dimensional (3D) cell encapsulation in hydrogel provides superb methods to
investigate the biochemical cues in directing cellular fate and behaviors outside the …

To predict the complex transient rheology of thixotropic elasto-viscoplastic (TEVP) fluids, we
generalize a previous scalar thixotropic-only “multilambda”(ML) model [Wei et al., J. Rheol …

Heavy metals (HMs) and microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in agricultural soils.
Rhizosphere biofilms are important sites for HM adsorption, and biofilms are easily disturbed …

Surface air temperature is an important factor for the permafrost thermal state in the Northern
Hemisphere. It is therefore necessary to understand the variations and regional differences …

Inflammatory responses play an extraordinary role in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular
and neurological disorders. Baicalin is one of the important flavonoids, which is extracted …

Global warming can affect vegetation growth, while the tempo-spatial responses of
vegetation to climate change remain largely unclear. In this study, we selected China as the …
