Modification of ultra low-k dielectric films by O₂ and CO₂ plasmas [PDF]
Low-k materials developed for ULSI interconnects should have sufficient resistance to processing plasma. CO2 plasma is being considered as a promising candidate for low damage photoresist ash and as a surface activation chemistry for self-assembled ...

Prevalence and Trajectory of Household Material Hardship Among Children With Advanced Cancer
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Families of children with advanced cancer living in poverty experience inferior outcomes including poor parent mental health and worse child quality of life. Household material hardship (HMH: food, housing, transportation, and/or utility insecurity) is a modifiable poverty exposure—and potential intervention target—that ...

Local non-pituitary growth hormone is induced with aging and facilitates epithelial damage
Summary: Microenvironmental factors modulating age-related DNA damage are unclear. Non-pituitary growth hormone (npGH) is induced in human colon, non-transformed human colon cells, and fibroblasts, and in 3-dimensional intestinal organoids with age ...

Citron Kinase Deficiency Leads to Chromosomal Instability and TP53-Sensitive Microcephaly [PDF]
Mutations in citron (CIT), leading to loss or inactivation of the citron kinase protein (CITK), cause primary microcephaly in humans and rodents, associated with cytokinesis failure and apoptosis in neural progenitors.

ABSTRACT Background The management of clinically apparent single lesions or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis, a facultative precursor of nephroblastoma, remains debated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients with clinically apparent single or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis (two to three lesions per kidney) among 2347 patients registered between
