Enhanced Laplace Pressures for Functional Surfaces: Wicking, Switchability, and Selectivity by Wilke, Kyle L, Song, Youngsup, Lu, Zhengmao, Wang, Evelyn N

“…Moreover, with a water‐hexane mixture system, selective wetting of reentrant structures are demonstrated, that is, water can be selectively wicked or repelled in the presence of hexane, and vice versa. These functionalities are achieved, which would typically require complex chemical coatings, solely using surface structures, thus largely expanding the design space for a wide range of thermofluidic applications.…”

Cytoplasmic long noncoding RNAs are frequently bound to and degraded at ribosomes in human cells by Carlevaro-Fita, Joana, Rahim, Anisa, Guigó, Roderic, Johnson, Rory, Vardy, Leah Karen Anne

“…Here we make a global, absolute estimate of the cytoplasmic and ribosome-associated population of stringently filtered lncRNAs in a human cell line using polysome profiling coupled to spike-in normalized microarray analysis. Fifty-four percent of expressed lncRNAs are detected in the cytoplasm. …”
