O2-self-supplying and glutathione-depleting scaffold for synergistic cancer therapy by Jiajia Zeng, Chongxian He, Xinna Bai, Cijun Shuai, Hao Pan

“…On the other hand, the photothermal effect of scaffold can not only generate heat to kill tumor cells, but also enhance the activity of nanoenzyme, and the catalase activity enhanced by photothermal effect is fed back to PDT, forming a two-way promotion. The results indicated that the concentration of oxygen in PLLA/Ti3C2-CeO2 scaffold group was 9.76 mg/L higher, and the concentration of singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) was respectively increased by 60 % and 170 %, compared with the PLLA/Ti3C2 scaffold. …”

Ultra-thin grating coupler for guided exciton-polaritons in WS2 multilayers by Cho HyunHee, Shin Dong-Jin, Sung Junghyun, Gong Su-Hyun

“…We investigated the polarization and thickness dependence of the optical dispersion relations of the tungsten disulfide (WS2) grating structure. In addition, we confirmed that the monolithic WS2 grating coupler can be used to couple the near-field guided exciton-polariton out into the far field. …”

On the solvability of a variational inequality problem and application to a problem of two membranes by A. Addou, E. B. Mermri

“…The purpose of this work is to give a continuous convex function, for which we can characterize the subdifferential, in order to reformulate a variational inequality problem: find u=(u1,u2)∈K such that for all v=(v1,v2)∈K, ∫Ω∇u1∇(v1−u1)+∫Ω∇u2∇(v2−u2)+(f,v−u)≥0 as a system of independent equations, where f belongs to L2(Ω)×L2(Ω) and K={v∈H01(Ω)×H01(Ω):v1≥v2  a.e. in Ω}.…”

Dynamic transitions of initiator binding coordinate the replication of the two chromosomes in Vibrio cholerae by Théophile Niault, Ariel Talavera, Eric Le Cam, Sonia Baconnais, Ole Skovgaard, Florian Fournes, Léa Wagner, Hedvig Tamman, Andrew Thompson, Dannele Echemendia-Blanco, Noa Guzzi, Abel Garcia-Pino, Didier Mazel, Marie-Eve Val

“…We find that RctB primarily binds to sites inhibiting replication initiation at the Chr2 origin (ori2). This inhibitory effect is counteracted when crtS is replicated on Chr1, causing a shift in RctB binding to sites that activate replication at ori2. …”

The protoplast two-way fusions and fusant characteristics of Antrodia cinnamomea and Cordyceps militaris by Wei-Kuang Lai, Yang-Chang Wu, Tai-Sheng Yeh, Chun-Ren Hsieh, Yi-Hong Tsai, Chien-Kei Wei, Chi-Ying Li, Ying-Chen Lu, Fang-Rong Chang

“…On the other hand, when A. cinnamomea and C. militaris were treated with heat and UV oppositely using similar experiments, the fusion rate was (9.70 ± 0.68) × 10-5 fusants/mL, and the new fusants were abbreviated as Cm-Ac. We selected each of two best-growing fused colonies Ac-Cm-1, Ac-Cm-2, Cm-Ac-1, and Cm-Ac-2, together with parental A. cinnamomea and C. militaris, and studied their morphology, growth antagonism tests, and genetic relationships by 18S rRNA sequencing. …”
