This study investigates the interaction of KEIF, the intrinsically disordered N-terminal region of the magnesium transporter MgtA, with lipid bilayers mimicking cell membranes. Combining experimental techniques such as neutron reflectometry (NR), quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD), and oriented circular dichroism (OCD),

Transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived RNAs (tDRs) are abundant small RNAs with emerging roles in development and tumorigenesis. Increasing evidence indicates that tDRs regulate stem cell homeostasis and differentiation, often altered in disease, highlighting the importance of fully characterizing their role in stem cell biology. Multiple studies point to protein synthesis as a crucial target of tDR-mediated

Time-resolved photoluminescence is a validated method for tracking the photoexcited carrier dynamics in luminescent materials. This technique probes the photoluminescence decays upon a periodic excitation by short laser pulses. Herein, we show that this approach cannot directly detect hidden photoexcitations with much slower dynamics than the photoluminescence decay. We demonstrate a new method ba

Background. Medulloblastoma (MB) is one of the most common malignant brain tumors in children. Current treatments have increased overall survival but can lead to devastating side effects and late complications in survivors, emphasizing the need for new, improved targeted therapies that specifically eliminate tumor cells while sparing the normally developing brain. Methods. Here, we used a sonic he

Background: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a prevalent cardiovascular disorder after COVID-19 infection. Although POTS is characterized by the presence of sinus tachycardia, other hemodynamic disturbances including blood pressure (BP) regulation, remain largely unexplored.Aims: We investigated BP changes using 24-hour ambulatory-BP-monitoring in patients with new-onset POTS af

Objective: Studies have implied that fibroblasts may act as regulators of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). We investigated the clinical relevance of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) positive stroma in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) in relation to CD8+ lymphocyte's infiltration. Methods: In a discovery cohort (N = 113) of HGSC, expression of FAP and CD8 in the TME was a

Semiconductors are at the heart of modern living. Almost everything we do, be it work, travel, communication, or entertainment, all depend on some feature of semiconductor technology. Comprehensive Semiconductor Science and Technology, Second Edition, Three Volume Set captures the breadth of this important field and presents it in a single source to the large audience who study, make, and use semi

Aims: Men are more likely to suffer a myocardial infarction than women, but population-based studies on sex differences in imaging-detected atherosclerosis are lacking. The aims were to assess sex differences in the prevalence of imaging-detected coronary and carotid atherosclerosis, as well as multivariable adjusted associations between sex and atherosclerosis. Methods and results: Participants a

Quasi-two dimensional (2D) perovskites have emerged as a promising class of materials due to their remarkable photoluminescence efficiency, which stems from their exceptionally high exciton binding energies. The spatial confinement of excitons within smaller grain sizes could enhance the formation of biexcitons leading to higher radiative recombination efficiency. However, the synthesis of high-qu

Monoclinic β-Ga2O3 films grown on c-plane sapphire have been shown to exhibit six (2¯01)-oriented domains, which are equally spaced by rotation around the surface normal and equally sized by volume that render the film optical response effectively uniaxial. We derive and discuss an optical model suitable for ellipsometry data analysis of such films. We model mid- and far-infrared ellipsometry data

The objective of this study is to increase the knowledge regarding school principals’work situations by examining the associations between various factors and the school principals’assessments of their ability or wish to work until 65 years of age or longer. The 1356 participatingschool principals in this study were aged between 50 and 64 years of age. Individual and workfactors were evaluated in

We present a continuous microwave photon counter based on superconducting cavity-coupled semiconductor quantum dots. The device utilizes photon-assisted tunneling in a double quantum dot with tunneling events being probed by a third dot. Our device detects both single and multiple-photon absorption events independently, thanks to the energy tunability of a two-level double-dot absorber. We show th

Modest channel carrier mobility in SiC-MOSFETs with NO annealed gate oxides has been the main factor hampering development of low power devices (300 – 650 V). A very fast interface trap, noted as NI, has been suggested to be the main culprit for poor inversion channel carrier mobility. The origin of the NI trap is unknown, but it is likely a property of the SiO2 and it is enhanced during post nitr

Lead-based piezoceramics are the dominant materials used in electronic devices, despite the known toxicity of lead. Developing safer piezoelectric materials has inspired the pursuit of lead-free piezoceramics, however some challenges remain in accessing these materials reproducibly. Here we demonstrate a simple and robust method for synthesis of the lead-free piezoceramic material, potassium sodiu

This chapter starts with a review of the theoretical foundation for understanding two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) signals in molecular systems. We derive and motivate key properties of 2DES, demonstrating its ability to yield complex information about energy transfer processes and couplings within molecular assemblies, such as photosynthetic antennae. We continue with a discussion e

Osteosarcoma treatment comprises pre-surgical chemotherapy followed by radical surgery and further chemotherapy cycles, but the prognosis has been far from satisfactory. No new drugs or treatment modalities have been developed for clinical use in the last four decades. We describe a nano-hydroxyapatite (HA)-based local drug delivery platform for the delivery of doxorubicin (DOX), a cornerstone dru

Benbarche, Pineda, Galvis, et al. delineate an essential role for the G-patch motif-containing protein GPATCH8 in mis-splicing associated with cancer-driving mutations of the splicing factor SF3B1. GPATCH8 cooperates with SF3B1 mutants, affecting the splicing machinery. Targeting GPATCH8 reveals therapeutic opportunities for SF3B1 mutant cancers and other splicing-related diseases.
