Grain Boundary Wetting and Material Performance in an Industrial EZ33A Mg Cast Alloy [PDF]

Archives of Metallurgy and Materials, 2019
The grain boundary wetting phase transition in an industrial EZ33A cast alloy is studied. 12% of the grain boundaries are completely wetted at the temperature slightly higher than the eutectic transformation temperature (530°C).

Deciphering transcriptional plasticity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveals alterations in sensory neuron innervation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic sensory neurons innervating healthy and PDAC tissue were retrogradely labeled and profiled by single‐cell RNA sequencing. Tumor‐associated innervation showed a dominant neurofilament‐positive subtype, altered mitochondrial gene signatures, and reduced non‐peptidergic neurons.

Determination of contact angle hysteresis of water microdroplets evaporating on hydrolyzed PET foils [PDF]

Acta Montanistica Slovaca, 2013
Moderately hydrophobic surfaces of PET foils were gradually hydrophilized by their immersion in NaOH solutions of increasing concentration. Then, the contact angle and geometric factors of microliter water drops, deposited on these polymer surfaces, were

Functionalization of a Hydrophilic Commercial Membrane Using Inorganic-Organic Polymers Coatings for Membrane Distillation

Applied Sciences, 2017
Membrane distillation is a thermal separation technique using a microporous hydrophobic membrane. One of the concerns with respect to the industrialization of the technique is the development of novel membranes.

Lotus Effect and Friction: Does Nonsticky Mean Slippery?

Biomimetics, 2020
Lotus-effect-based superhydrophobicity is one of the most celebrated applications of biomimetics in materials science. Due to a combination of controlled surface roughness (surface patterns) and low-surface energy coatings, superhydrophobic surfaces ...

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 ...

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

Rapid Microbial Dynamics in Response to an Induced Wetting Event in Antarctic Dry Valley Soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The cold deserts of the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV), Antarctica, host a high level of microbial diversity. Microbial composition and biomass in arid vs. ephemerally wetted regions are distinctly different, with wetted communities representing hot spots of ...

PARP inhibitors induce a senescence phenotype in non‐small cell lung carcinoma cell lines

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Talazoparib is the most potent inducer of senescence among different PARP1 inhibitors in human NSCLC cells. In the absence of PARP, no senescence phenotype was observed, demonstrating that PARP1 is necessary for the induction of senescence by this inhibitor.

Advances in reactive air wetting and brazing of engineering ceramics

Journal of Advanced Ceramics
The reactive air brazing (RAB) process of ceramics was developed in the early 2000s because high-temperature electrochemical devices, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), gas separators, reformers, and ion transport membrane systems, are increasingly ...
