Breaking Barriers: Candidalysin Disrupts Epithelial Integrity and Induces Inflammation in a Gut-on-Chip Model

open access: yesToxins
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of healthy humans. Under certain conditions, it can become invasive and cause life-threatening systemic infections.

Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

Klein tunneling through an oblique barrier in graphene ribbons

open access: yes, 2010
We study a transmission coefficient of graphene nanoribbons with a top gate which acts as an oblique barrier. Using a Green function method based on the Dirac-like equation, scattering among transverse modes due to the oblique barrier is taken into ...

Sub-and near-barrier fusion reactions experimental results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Early data of sub-barrier fusion teached us that cross sections may strongly depend on the structure of colliding nuclei and on couplings to transfer channels. The influence of transfer is clearly indicated in the excitation functions of different nickel

Azithromycin mitigates human rhinovirus impact on barrier integrity and function in non-diseased airway epithelium

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
IntroductionAzithromycin improves symptomology in various chronic airway diseases exacerbated by viral infections. However, the mechanisms underlying the apparent antiviral effects of azithromycin remain unclear.MethodsAirway epithelial cells from ...

‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling controls development of the blood–brain barrier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is confined to the endothelium of brain capillaries and is indispensable for fluid homeostasis and neuronal function. In this study, we show that endothelial Wnt/beta-catenin (beta-cat) signaling regulates induction and ...

Dephasing in semiconductor-superconductor structures by coupling to a voltage probe

open access: yes, 2000
We study dephasing in semiconductor-superconductor structures caused by coupling to a voltage probe. We consider structures where the semiconductor consists of two scattering regions between which partial dephasing is possible. As a particular example we

Charge transport in two dimensional electron gas/superconductor junctions with Rashba spin-orbit coupling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We have studied the tunneling conductance in two dimensional electron gas / insulator / superconductor junctions in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC).

Feasibility and Safety of High‐Dose Proton Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors: A Single‐Institution Retrospective Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors often recur despite multimodality therapy. Although re‐irradiation (re‐RT) has historically been limited by concerns for severe late toxicities, modern techniques have renewed interest in this approach. Proton therapy provides dosimetric advantages that may enable curative re‐treatment with
