Journal of Statistical Physics, 2009 When a nonequilibrium growing interface in the presence of a wall is considered a nonequilibrium wetting transition may take place. This transition can be studied trough Langevin equations or discrete growth models. In the first case, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, which defines a very robust universality class for nonequilibrium moving interfaces ...

Transforming Auxetic Metamaterials into Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Small StructuresSuperhydrophobic materials are often inspired by nature, whereas metamaterials are engineered to have properties not usually occurring naturally. In both, the key to their unique properties is structure. Here, it is shown that a negative Poisson's ratio (

Flow‐Induced Long‐Term Stable Slippery Surfaces
Advanced Science, 2019 Slippery lubricant‐infused surfaces allow easy removal of liquid droplets on surfaces. They consist of textured or porous substrates infiltrated with a chemically compatible lubricant. Capillary forces help to keep the lubricant in place.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We developed and validated a DNA methylation–based biomarker panel to distinguish pleural mesothelioma from other pleural conditions. Using the IMPRESS technology, we translated this panel into a clinically applicable assay. The resulting two classifier models demonstrated excellent performance, achieving high AUC values and strong diagnostic accuracy.

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

HSP70 governs permeability and mechanotransduction in primary human endothelial cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.HSP70 chemical inhibition reduces endothelial cell proliferation and increases permeability, the latter supported by normal interendothelial junctional protein distribution. HSP70 also plays a role in shear stress response, a hemodynamic force naturally present in blood vessels and correlated with vessel protection.

SEM investigation of interfaces after simultaneous contact of Cu-20Ti and Cu melts with zirconia ceramic [PDF]
Journal of Chemistry LettersThe interfaces for a cooled sample after simultaneous contact of the adhesively active copper-titanium melt and of inert copper melt with ZrO2-ceramic (Cu-20Ti / ZrO2 / Cu system) were investigated using SEM analysis.

Overview of molecular signatures of senescence and associated resources: pros and cons
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Cells can enter a stress response state termed cellular senescence that is involved in various diseases and aging. Detecting these cells is challenging due to the lack of universal biomarkers. This review presents the current state of senescence identification, from biomarkers to molecular signatures, compares tools and approaches, and highlights ...
