Second-generation BRAF inhibitor Encorafenib resistance is regulated by NCOA4-mediated iron trafficking in the drug-resistant malignant melanoma cells by Ceyda Colakoglu Bergel, Isil Ezgi Eryilmaz, Gulsah Cecener, Unal Egeli

“…RNA-Seq results also exhibited altered epigenetic regulation of resistance; particularly ferritin family members, ion transport pathways. Then, increased NCOA4, FTH1, and iron levels detected in A375-R suggest that the iron metabolism-related mechanism, such as ferritinophagy, might be triggered, which was supported by TEM and oxidative stress analysis. …”

Revealing how internal sensors in a smart battery impact the local graphite lithiation mechanism by Annabel Olgo, Sylvie Genies, Romain Franchi, Cédric Septet, Quentin Jacquet, Quentin Berrod, Rasmus Palm, Pascale Chenevier, Elise Villemin, Claire Villevieille, Nils Blanc, Samuel Tardif, Olivier Raccurt, Sandrine Lyonnard

“…To address this question, we perform a synchrotron operando X-ray diffraction experiment to investigate the local and global impact of the presence of internal sensors on a commercial prismatic Li-ion battery cell at various (dis)charge rates. We find that, while the overall electrochemical performance is unaffected, the sensors have a substantial impact on the local graphite lithiation kinetics, especially at high (dis)charge rates. …”

Experimental Study on the Damage and Deterioration Behaviour of Deep Soft Rock under Water-Rock Interaction by Zenghui Zhao, Hao Liu, Xianzhou Lyu, Lei Wang, Zhongxi Tian, Jiecheng Sun

“…In addition, the failure pattern of mudstone changes from overall splitting failure to block fragmentation failure. Due to ion-exchange adsorption and the wedging action of water molecules, the edge of contact between particles changes from staggered to smooth, which leads to the expansion of pores, the loosening of mudstone structures, and a decrease in mechanical strength. …”
