Abstract: Pharmaceutical composition comprising growth-hormone releasing peptide 6 (GHRP-6), tartrate buffer at pH 5.0-6.0, and trehalose as stabilizing agent, as well as the use of said composition for the manufacture of a medicament. The invention also provides a kit of parts comprising said pharmaceutical composition and a method of treatment of an individual in need thereof, which entails the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition comprising of GHRP-6, tartrate buffer at pH 5.0-6.0 and trehalose.

Abstract: An exemplary support assembly for a battery array includes, among other things, a frame and an insert secured to the frame. The insert is configured to hold at least one battery cell within the frame. The frame is made of a first material and the insert is made of a second material that is softer than the first material. An exemplary method of securing a battery cell within a traction battery pack of an electrified vehicle includes, among other things, compressing an insert against the at least one battery cell. The insert is secured to a frame made of a first material. The insert is made of a second material that is softer than the first material.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for bonding one element of an electrochemical cell or cell stack to another wherein a sealing grove with a complex cross-sectional shape receives and retains a bead of adhesive prior to being assembled. The complex cross-sectional shape has a raised portion sized to receive and retain the bead of adhesive, and at least one depressed portion to receive adhesive displaced from the raised portion during assembly. Embodiments of the invention incorporate raised portions with straight, beveled, curved, and rough surfaces to increase the strength of the bond between the respective elements.
