Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Sol-gel self cleaning superhydrophobic nanocoating for glass surface of solar cell [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020 Thin film sol-gel coatings on glass substrates for use in solar cells were studied. The precursor solution was made of tetraethoxyorthosilicate (TEOS 2.0-6.0% v/v) using hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS 0.1-1.5% v/v) as hydrophobic modifier in the ...

Self-Cleaning Antireflective Optical Coatings [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2013 Low-cost antireflection coatings (ARCs) on large optical surfaces are an ingredient-technology for high-performance solar cells. While nanoporous thin films that meet the zero-reflectance conditions on transparent substrates can be cheaply manufactured, their suitability for outdoor applications is limited by the lack of robustness and cleanability ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023 Purpose: On the one hand, one of the most important global strategies to improve thermal comfort in urban spaces is using cool materials (high albedo materials) in urban facades. On the other hand, using cool materials in urban facades is a big challenge.

The Aging Blood: Cellular Origins, Circulating Drivers, and Therapeutic Potential
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.As a conduit linking all organs, the blood system both reflects and actively drives systemic aging. This review highlights how circulating pro‐aging and antiaging factors and age‐associated hematopoietic stem cell dysfunction contribute to immunosenescence and multi‐organ decline, positioning the hematopoietic system as a target for aging intervention.
