Novelty Bullets • In pregnant women, we found that cycling after glucose intake resulted in significantly lower glucose levels compared to rest. • The exercise intervention studied is feasible for pregnant women and could be readily used to reduce glucose excursions.Nano-confined fluid (NCF), which is confined in nanospaces, exhibits distinctive nanoscale effects, including surface effects, small-size effects, quantum effects and others. The continuous medium hypothesis in fluid mechanics is not valid anymore owing to the comparable characteristic length of spaces and molecular mean free path and accordingly the classical continuum theories developed for the bulk fluids usually cannot describe the mass and energy transport of NCFs. In this Perspective, we summary the nanoscale effects on the thermodynamics, mass transport, flow dynamics, heat transfer, phase change and energy transport of NCFs and highlight the related representative works. Meanwhile, the applications of NCFs in the fields of membrane separation, oil and gas production, energy harvesting and storage, and biology engineering are especially indicated. Currently, the theoretical description framework of NCFs is still missing and it is expected that this framework can be established by adopting the classical continuum theories with the consideration of nanoscale effects.Polysorbates (PS) are commonly used surfactants in biopharmaceutical protein formulations. However, they are susceptible to a variety of degradation pathways including chemical hydrolysis, oxidation, and enzymatic hydrolysis. Polysorbates are also heterogeneous mixtures, and it has been observed that the patterns of degradation can be strikingly different between the different pathways. Polysorbates (PS20 and PS80) were fractionated and the fractio
