Two distinct charge density waves in the quasi-one-dimensional metal Sr0.95NbO3.37 revealed by resonant soft X-ray scattering by Angga Dito Fauzi, Caozheng Diao, Thomas J. Whitcher, Frank Lichtenberg, Ping Yang, Mark B. H. Breese, Andrivo Rusydi

“…Here, we report the discovery of two distinct and simultaneous commensurate CDWs in Sr0.95NbO3.37 using resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSXS), namely, an electronic-(001) superlattice below ~ 200 K and an electronic-(002) Bragg peak. We also observe a non-electronic-(002) Bragg peak showing lattice distortion below ~ 150 K. …”

Interleukin-7 Resensitizes Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer to Cisplatin via Inhibition of ABCG2 by Bin Ke, Ting Wei, Yuanyuan Huang, Yuxin Gong, Gang Wu, Junfang Liu, Xiaoting Chen, Lin Shi

“…Here, we studied the effect of IL-7 on the resistance of NSCLC to chemotherapy. We observed that IL-7 treatment significantly enhanced DDP-induced effects in A549 and A549/DDP cells (DDP-resistant cells), including decreased cell viability and proliferation, as well as increased cell apoptosis and S arrest, indicating that IL-7 treatment resensitized DDP-resistant NSCLC cells to DDP. …”
