Corrosion resistant coating fabrication through synergies between SiOC conversion and iron oxidation at high temperatures

npj Materials Degradation
High-temperature organic coatings protect assets well at moderately elevated temperatures. However, they degrade severely at higher temperatures (e.g., above 450 °C), leaving little or no corrosion protection to the substrate.

Investigation of target erosion profiles sputter-eroded by a low-energy broad ion beam

AIP Advances, 2021
The demand for ion beam sputtering (IBS) coated substrates is growing. In order to find new fields of application for IBS coating technology, it is necessary to understand in detail the distributions of the involved particles in an industrial-scale ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

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).

UV coatings using Ta2O5-SiO2 quantized nanolaminates [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
In the last few years, quantized nanolaminates (QNL) have become increasingly popular as a metamaterial in the development for optical coatings. Experiments were often performed using IBS or ALD coating techniques, which yield excellent accuracy but are ...

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Effective therapeutic targeting of CTNNB1‐mutant hepatoblastoma with WNTinib

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
WNTinib, a Wnt/CTNNB1 inhibitor, was tested in hepatoblastoma (HB) experimental models. It delayed tumor growth and improved survival in CTNNB1‐mutant in vivo models. In organoids, WNTinib outperformed cisplatin and showed enhanced efficacy in combination therapy, supporting its potential as a targeted treatment for CTNNB1‐mutated HB.
