Abstract: A battery module includes: a plurality of secondary battery cells, each including an electrode lead connected to an electrode assembly, a terrace portion forming a periphery of a cell body member in which the electrode assembly is accommodated, and a sealing portion formed to be connected to the terrace portion; a housing in which the plurality of secondary battery cells are accommodated; and a guard unit installed to face at least a portion of the terrace portion and at least a portion of the sealing portion to delay bursting of the sealing portion of at least one of the secondary battery cells. In the guard unit, a gap between internal surfaces facing the terrace portion is formed to be smaller than a thickness of the cell body member to limit expansion thickness of the terrace portion.

Abstract: Provided are an electrode comprising a coated portion that is coated with an active material; an uncoated portion that is not coated with the active material; and at least one selected from the group consisting of a first straight section formed by cutting out a part of the boundary region between the coated portion and the uncoated portion and a second straight section formed by cutting out an edge of the coated portion; an electrode assembly comprising the same; and a manufacturing method of the electrode assembly.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vector pair for screening TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43 or TransActive Response DNA-binding protein 43) oligomer formation, a cell line transfected with the vector pair, and a method of monitoring TDP-43 oligomer formation using the cell line. More specifically, the vector pair includes: a first vector including a first TDP-43 gene and a first fluorescence protein gene; and a second vector including a second TDP-43 gene and a second fluorescence protein gene, wherein a protein expressed from the first fluorescence protein gene and a protein expressed from the second fluorescence protein gene bind to each other to display fluorescence, by association between a protein expressed from the first TDP-43 gene and a protein expressed from the second TDP-43 gene. The vector pair is effective in that it makes it possible to monitor TDP-43 oligomer formation in living cells.
