Cell migration in dense microenvironments by de Freitas Nader, Guilherme Pedreira, García-Arcos, Juan Manuel

“…The nuclear envelope has a large membrane reservoir which serves as a buffer for mechanical inputs as it unfolds without increasing its tension. In contrast, when cells cope with mechanical strain, such as migration through solid tumors or dense interstitial spaces, the nuclear envelope folds stretch, increasing nuclear envelope tension and sometimes causing rupture. …”

Abnormal Temperature and Bias Dependence of Threshold Voltage Instability in p-GaN/AlGaN/GaN HEMTs by Myeongsu Chae, Ho-Young Cha, Hyungtak Kim

“…Notably, the positive shift in threshold voltage diminished and eventually reversed at low gate bias as the temperature increased. In contrast, the negative shift intensified with increasing temperature but began to mitigate above 100°C at high gate bias due to an enhanced de-trapping process of electrons and holes. …”
