Observation of contact angle hysteresis due to inhomogeneous electric fields

Communications Physics, 2021
Wetting of surfaces can be affected by surface roughness, presence of surface chemical defects, or by electric fields. Here, the authors perform electrowetting experiments on microstriped electrodes and show that the droplet’s static contact angle ...

Dynamics of nanoscale droplets on moving surfaces [PDF]

, 2013
We use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the dynamic wetting of nanoscale water droplets on moving surfaces. The density and hydrogen bonding profiles along the direction normal to the surface are reported, and the width of the water ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

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

A Superhydrophobic Coating : Fluorophilic Silica Nanoparticle-Doped Teflon Films [PDF]

, 2013
Coatings prepared from a suspension of fluoroalkyl-silane modified silica nanoparticles (FNPs) in a solution containing Teflon AF 2400 show wetting properties that depend on composition and the method of film formation.

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...
