Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin that affects about 2-3% of the population and greatly impairs the quality of life of affected individuals. Psoriatic skin is characterized by excessive proliferation and aberrant differentiation of keratinocytes, as well as redness caused by increased dilation of the dermal blood vessels and i...

Intrinsically and fully stretchable active-matrix-driven displays are an important element to skin electronics that can be applied to many emerging fields, such as wearable electronics, consumer electronics and biomedical devices. Here, we show for the first time a fully stretchable active-matrix-driven organic light-emitting electrochemical cell a...

A microemulsion system based on ionic liquid (IL) and deep eutectic compound was proposed to improve the transdermal delivery of artemisinin. Deep eutectic lidocaine ibuprofen (Lid center dot Ibu) was selected as the oil phase, and the imidazolium ionic liquid, 1-hydroxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([HOEmim]Cl), was incorporated into the aque...

The performance and integration density of silicon integrated circuits (ICs) have progressed at an unprecedented pace in the past 60 years. While silicon ICs thrive at low-power high-performance computing, creating flexible and large-area electronics using silicon remains a challenge. On the other hand, flexible and printed electronics use intrinsi...

pH-sensitive hydrogels have developed greatly over the past few years. This has been possible due to the synthesis of new hydrogel systems with increased sensitivity - the sensitivity of up to 10-5 pH units have already been established. Recently, pH-sensitive hydrogels have shown to be very useful for biomedical applications, such as targeted canc...

Deep tissue injuries are pressure ulcers which initiate in the subcutaneous tissues and extend through a bottom-up pathway. Once deep tissue injuries are visual at skin level, serious irreversible tissue damage has already occurred. In pressure ulcer development, inflammation and edema are coupled physiological processes associated with tissue dama...

Abundant corneocyte surface protrusions, observed in patients with atopic dermatitis with filaggrin loss-of-function mutations, are inversely associated with levels of natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) in the stratum corneum. To dissect the etiological role of NMFs and filaggrin deficiency in surface texture alterations, we examined mouse models ...

Iontronic graphene tactile sensors (i-GTS) composed of a top floating graphene electrode and an ionic liquid droplet pinned on a bottom graphene grid, which can dramatically enhance the performance of capacitive-type tactile sensors, are presented. When mechanical stress is applied to the top floating electrode, the i-GTS operates in one of the fol...
