Morphology-tunable assembly of periodically aligned Si nanowire and radial pn junction arrays for solar cell applications by Li, Xiaocheng, Liang, Kun, Tay, Beng Kang, Teo, Edwin Hang Tong

“…With the as-prepared SiNWs as templates, three kinds of PASiNW radial pn junction structures were fabricated on Si substrates via a solid-state phosphorous diffusion strategy and their applications in solar cells were also explored. The PASiNW radial pn junction-based solar cell with big diameter and interspace shows the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.10% among the three kinds of devices. …”

Interferon-α promotes HLA-B-restricted presentation of conventional and alternative antigens in human pancreatic β-cells by Carré, A, Samassa, F, Zhou, Z, Perez-Hernandez, J, Lekka, C, Manganaro, A, Oshima, M, Liao, H, Parker, R, Nicastri, A, Brandao, B, Colli, ML, Eizirik, DL, Aluri, J, Patel, D, Göransson, M, Burgos Morales, O, Anderson, A, Landry, L, Kobaisi, F, Scharfmann, R, Marselli, L, Marchetti, P, You, S, Ternette, N

“…Interferon (IFN)-α is the earliest cytokine signature observed in individuals at risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D), but the effect of IFN-α on the antigen repertoire of HLA Class I (HLA-I) in pancreatic β-cells is unknown. Here we characterize the HLA-I antigen presentation in resting and IFN-α-exposed β-cells and find that IFN-α increases HLA-I expression and expands peptide repertoire to those derived from alternative mRNA splicing, protein cis-splicing and post-translational modifications. …”
