Passive Defect Driven Morphogenesis in Nematic Membranes
Physical Review LettersTopological defects are ubiquitous on surfaces with orientational order fields. Here, we study equilibrium states generated by the feedback between geometry and nematic order on fluid membranes with an integer topological defect. When the Frank elastic constants associated with the orientational field dominate, the surfaces spontaneously deform toward ...

Ultralong photoluminescence lifetime enables efficient tin halide perovskite solar cells
Next MaterialsLewis base additives typically undergo interactions with SnI2 to achieve effective defect passivation in lead-free perovskite films. In this work, the thiophene ring in 2-thiophenethylammonium chloride (TEACl) has coordination interactions with Sn2+ and ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Surface Defect Passivation of Silicon Micropillars
Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2018 AbstractReactive ion etching (RIE) used to fabricate high‐aspect‐ratio (HAR) nano/microstructures is known to damage semiconductor surfaces which enhances surface recombination and limits the conversion efficiency of nanostructured solar cells. Here, defect passivation of ultrathin Al2O3‐coated Si micropillars (MPs) using different surface pretreatment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)

AIP Advances, 2015 The effect of deposition temperature (Tdep) and subsequent annealing time (tanl) of atomic layer deposited aluminum oxide (Al2O3) films on silicon surface passivation (in terms of surface recombination velocity, SRV) is investigated. The pristine samples
