With the promising applications in artificial intelligence systems and wearable health care devices, great efforts have been devoted to develop advanced pressure sensors. Graphene-based materials are promising pressure sensor materials due to the excellent electrical conductivity, outstanding mechanical properties and large surface area. This review summarizes the recent advances and progress in graphene and graphene-based pressure sensors. Perspectives and challenges in this exciting field are also highlighted and discussed.

Leptin signaling deficient rodents have emerged as models of obesity/insulin resistance syndrome. Altered leptin signaling, however, can affect axial and appendicular bone geometrical properties differently, and, thus, we hypothesized that leptin-deficiency would differentially influence mechanical properties of vertebrae and tibiae compared to lean rats. Mature (9 mo) leptin receptor deficient obese (cp/cp;n=8) and lean (+/?;n=7) male JCR:LA-corpulent rats were used to test that hypothesis. Tibiae and the sixth lumbar vertebrae(L6)were scanned with micro-CT and were broken in three point-bending (tibiae) or axial loading(L6). Supporting the hypothesis, vertebrae and tibiae were differentially affected by leptin signaling deficiency. Tibiae, but not vertebrae, were significantly shorter in obese rats and achieved a significantly greater load (>18%), displacement (>15%), and stress (>18%) at the proportional limit, relative to the lean rats. Conversely,L6in obese rats had significantly reduced displacement (>25%) and strain (>32%) at proportional limit, relative to the lean rats. Those combined results suggest that the etiology and duration of obesity may be important determinants of bone mechanical properties, and axial and appendicular bones may be affected differently.
