Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…By leveraging targeted and untargeted mass spectrometry (MS) of endogenous tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, which enables phosphosite-specific quantification of TK signaling networks, I report several cell line-specific vulnerabilities not predicted to exist at the genetic level, and the consensus observation that sustained activity of SRC family kinases (SFKs), or of the SRC-like kinases ABL1/2, is an important contributor to GM-TKI tolerance in all lines. …”

Fluid-fluid displacement in porous-media microfluidics by Qiu, Yu

“…Many questions remain, however, regarding how the macroscopic displacement patterns are controlled by the microscale interactions between the fluid interface and the solid surface in systems under geometric confinement like microfluidic devices and porous media. This fluid-solid interaction—exacerbated by the roughness inherent to all natural and engineered surfaces—introduces a large energy dissipation near the solid boundary that challenges our ability to interpret laboratory experiments and develop mathematical models. …”

Phase transitions by an abundant protein in the anammox extracellular matrix mediate cell-to-cell aggregation and biofilm formation by Seviour, Thomas, Wong, Lan Li, Lu, Yang, Mugunthan, Sudarsan, Yang, Qiaohui, Chanda Segaran, Uma Shankari, Bessarab, Irina, Liebl, David, Williams, Rohan B. H., Law, Yingyu, Kjelleberg, Staffan

“…The Brosi_A1236 structure was computationally predicted to consist of immunoglobulin-like anti-parallel β-strands, and circular dichroism conducted on the isolated surface protein indicated that β-strands are the dominant higher-order structure. …”

Thermally induced phase separation PVDF membrane fabricated by using NaCl coagulation bath: relation of membrane surface morphology and permeation performance by Chen, Ningyuan, Zhao, Jie, Shi, Lei, Goto, Atsushi, Wang, Rong

“…As the NaCl concentration increases in the coagulation bath, the outer surface of the fabricated membrane transited from a mesh-like structure to a spherulite structure. As 0.5 mol L−1 NaCl was added to the coagulation bath, the membranes displayed a pure water permeability of 1073.9 L m−2 h−1 bar−1 while maintaining a narrow pore size distribution. …”
