Beams with the transverse-only intensity at the focus

Компьютерная оптика
In this work, sharp focusing of vector beams with azimuthal polarization and beams with V-line of polarization uncertainty is simulated numerically using the Richards-Wolf formulas.

‘Guide and Prejudice’— How Argonautes recognize targets across domains of life

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Argonaute proteins use short nucleic‐acid guides to locate and regulate specific targets across all domains of life. Despite striking diversity—from human gene silencing to bacterial immune defence—all Argonautes share a conserved three‐stage recognition logic: guide‐directed sampling, progressive target pairing with a conformational checkpoint and ...

The aqueous supramolecular chemistry of crown ethers

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023
This mini-review summarizes the seminal exploration of aqueous supramolecular chemistry of crown ether macrocycles. In history, most research of crown ethers were focusing on their supramolecular chemistry in organic phase or in gas phase.

Invisible but not inaccessible—Revealing transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins with solution NMR and complementary methods

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins may be ‘invisible’ to direct detection yet remain accessible to solution NMR through equilibrium‐exchange measurements and pressure‐jump experiments. Complementary methods report on mass, stoichiometry, selected distance distributions, morphology, and internal packing.

Helicity of Poincaré beams at the sharp focus

Компьютерная оптика
In this study, helicity of Poincaré beams was considered from the point of view of the Richards-Wolf formalism. It was shown that helicity for Poincaré beams always has radial symmetry and does not depend on the azimuthal angle of the beam.

Sharp focusing of light using a planar gradient microlens

Computer Optics, 2016
It is shown numerically that using planar gradient microlenses, the coherent radiation can be focused in a narrow line of width λ/38 and length λ/5.5. The efficiency of focusing is 22%. A slitted photonic-crystal lens retains the properties of sharp focusing of light characteristic of a gradient lens.

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 ...

Optical System Design of Oblique Airborne-Mapping Camera with Focusing Function

Photonics, 2022
The use of airborne-mapping technology plays a key role in the acquisition of large-scale basic geographic data information, especially in various important civil/military-mapping missions. However, most airborne-mapping cameras are limited by parameters,

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

Focusing a Vortex Laser Beam with Polarization Conversion

Photonics, 2021
We show that when strongly focusing a linearly polarized optical vortex with the topological charge 2 (or −2) in the near-focus region, there occurs not only a reverse energy flow (where the projection of the Poynting vector is negative) but the right ...
