Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

Measurements of mechanical thermal noise and energy dissipation in optical dielectric coatings [PDF]

, 2014
In recent years an increasing number of devices and experiments are shown to be limited by mechanical thermal noise. In particular sub-Hertz laser frequency stabilization and gravitational wave detectors, that are able to measure fluctuations of 1E-18 m ...

Glycosylated LGALS3BP is highly secreted by bladder cancer cells and represents a novel urinary disease biomarker

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Urinary LGALS3BP is elevated in bladder cancer patients compared to healthy controls as detected by the 1959 antibody–based ELISA. The antibody shows enhanced reactivity to the high‐mannose glycosylated variant secreted by cancer cells treated with kifunensine (KIF).

Optimization of moth-eye antireflection schemes for silicon solar cells

, 2010
Nanostructured moth-eye antireflection schemes for silicon solar cells are simulated using rigorous coupled wave analysis and compared to traditional thin film coatings. The design of the moth-eye arrays is optimized for application to a laboratory cell (

Modification of hemp shiv properties using water-repellent sol–gel coatings [PDF]

, 2018
For the first time, the hydrophilicity of hemp shiv was modified without the compromise of its hygroscopic properties. This research focused on the use of sol–gel method in preparation of coatings on the natural plant material, hemp shiv, that has ...

Al-Si-N transparent hard nanostructured coatings

, 2009
This thesis analyses the properties of Al-Si-N thin films. Based on the expected immiscibility of aluminum nitride (AlN) and silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ), the hardness and the optical transparency of each single phase, transparent nanostructured films with enhanced hardness are expected to form.

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

Study on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of newly designed (Si, Ti) micro-alloyed hot-dipped Zn–6Al–3Mg alloy coating

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
In this work, a novel hot-dipped Zn–6Al–3Mg-0.1Si-0.05Ti alloy coating was designed through (Si, Ti) microalloying, and the related microstructure and corrosion behavior in Cl− containing environment were studied.

Friction and wear behaviour of tool steels sliding against 22MnB5 steel

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2017
Boron steels are used in hot stamping process due to their good mechanical properties. During the stamping process, the dies are exposed to aggressive conditions including adhesive wear, abrasion, thermal stresses and fatigue. In the present work, QRO 90
