Valley-optical absorption in planar transition metal dichalcogenide superlattices by Hashemi, R., Shojaei, S., Rezaei, B., Liu, Zheng

“…Moreover, the role of incident light angle and light polarization were studied in details at different valleys of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The most important finding is that by changing the polarization of incident light, it is possible to increase the absorption coefficients of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] valleys by up to 30 times. …”

Dysfunctional cardiac energy transduction, mitochondrial oxidative stress, oncogenic and apoptotic signaling in DiNP-induced asthma in murine model by Kehinde, Samuel Abiodun, Olajide, Abosede Temitope, Fatokun, Tolulope Peter, Faroud, Dalia, Hadi, Najah R., Elgazzar, Ahmed M., James, Adewale Segun, Ashour, Mohamed H. Mazhar

“…Furthermore, DiNP-induced asthma group has an increased cardiac caspase-3, Bax, c-Myc and K-ras, and p53 while the Bcl2 decreased when compared with control. Overall, the findings indicate that DiNP-induced asthma impairs cardiac functions by induction of key cardiac oncogenes, downregulation of cardiac energy, transduction of enzymes, and promotion of oxidative stress and cellular death. …”

Decoding divergence in marine protistan communities: from strain diversity to basin biogeography by Krinos Quinn, Arianna Isabella

“…Scalable workflows highlight the challenge and promise of meta-omic data to link community structure to physiology. I developed a pipeline for metatranscriptome analysis and taxonomic annotation to address the lack of tools built specifically for microbial eukaryotes, and created mock communities to assess recovery success in protistan metatranscriptome analysis workflows (Chapters 4 and 5). …”
