Effects of a nitrogen seeded plasma on nanostructured tungsten films having fusion-relevant features

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2020
Nitrogen (N) seeding is routinely applied in tokamaks with tungsten (W) walls to control the power exhaust toward the divertor. Open questions, concerning the interaction of N with W, are the influence of ion energy and W temperature on retention of ...

Pre‐analytical optimization of cell‐free DNA and extracellular vesicle‐derived DNA for mutation detection in liquid biopsies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.

Flux dependence of helium retention in clean W(110): Experimental evidence for He self-trapping

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2023
Helium (He) retention in tungsten (W) is a concern in fusion reactors since it could be detrimental to plasma facing components performance and influence the fusion fuel balance.

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Material mixing on plasma-facing components: Compound formation

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2009
Two different tungsten limiters (castellated bulk metal block and W-coated graphite), subjected to high power loads in the TEXTOR tokamak, were examined in order to determine chemical composition of deposits inside the castellated grooves and on side surfaces of the coated limiter.

Emerging insights into CC and CXC chemokines and their receptors in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The dual roles of CC and CXC chemokines in distinguishing active, latent, and subclinical tuberculosis were reviewed, along with an evaluation of their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets to advance precision medicine in tuberculosis management. The graphical abstract was generated with AI assistance (Gemini 3.0).

Plasma Performance Improvement with Lithium-Coated Plasma-Facing Components in NSTX [PDF]

, 2008
Lithium as a plasma-facing material has many attractive features, including a reduction in the recycling of hydrogenic species and the potential for withstanding high heat and neutron fluxes in fusion reactors. Recent NSTX experiments have shown, for the
