, 1998 We report on a new experimental procedure for forming and studying polar smectic liquid crystal films. A free standing smectic film is put in contact with a liquid drop, so that the film has one liquid crystal/liquid interface and one liquid crystal/air ...

Liquid-crystal photonic applications [PDF]
, 2011 Liquid crystals are nowadays widely used in all types of display applications. However their unique electro-optic properties also make them a suitable material for nondisplay applications. We will focus on the use of liquid crystals in different photonic

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.RKIP, a metastasis suppressor protein, modulates key oncogenic pathways in lung adenocarcinoma. In silico analyses linked low RKIP expression to poor survival. Functional studies revealed RKIP overexpression reduces tumor aggressiveness and enhances sensitivity to EGFR‐targeted therapies, while its loss promotes resistance.

Dynamic control of active droplets using light-responsive chiral liquid crystal environment
Communications PhysicsMicroscopic active droplets are of interest since they can be used to transport matter from one point to another. In this work, we demonstrate an approach to control the direction of active droplet propulsion by a photoresponsive cholesteric liquid ...

Critical Field Strength in an Electroclinic Liquid Crystal Elastomer
, 2010 We elucidate the polymer dynamics of a liquid crystal elastomer based on the time-dependent response of the pendent liquid crystal mesogens. The molecular tilt and switching time of mesogens are analyzed as a function of temperature and cross-linking ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.AZD9291 has shown promise in targeted cancer therapy but is limited by resistance. In this study, we employed metabolic labeling and LC–MS/MS to profile time‐resolved nascent protein perturbations, allowing dynamic tracking of drug‐responsive proteins. We demonstrated that increased NNMT expression is associated with drug resistance, highlighting NNMT ...

Microlenses immersed in nematic liquid crystal with electrically controllable focal length [PDF]
, 1995 A microlens immersed in a nematic liquid crystal cell has been constructed with avariable focal length which can be controlled by applying an analogue voltage to thenematic liquid crystal. The focal length is -910 ± 30 ?

A bioinformatics screen identifies TCF19 as an aggressiveness‐sustaining gene in prostate cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Gene expression meta‐analysis in multiple prostate cancer patient cohorts identifies Transcription factor 19 (TCF19) as an aggressiveness‐sustaining gene with prognostic potential. TCF19 is a gene repressed by androgen signaling that sustains core cancer‐related processes such as vascular permeability or tumor growth and metastasis.
