The decreasing CA improved the fluid spreading on the surface and helped the creation of a thin fluid film at the contact interface. As a result, the COF was decreased. On the other hand, with a decreasing ∆θ, the COF increased. Due to the decrease in ∆θ, the absorption of the...
Islet inflammation plays a key role in decreasing functional β-cell mass in both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) [136,137]. In T1D, β-cells are the target of an autoimmune assault. In obesity-induced insulin resistance and T2D, chronic low-grade inflammation and ...
