Soy-derived phytochemical genistein modifies chromatome topology to restrict cancer cell proliferation by Dutta, Bamaprasad, Park, Jung Eun, Qing, Ivan Toh Yi, Kon, Oi Lian, Sze, Siu Kwan

“…Epidemiological data indicate that human cancer risk is significantly reduced by the consumption of soy-based foods containing the "phytoestrogen" genistein, which can signal via host cell estrogen receptors. While additional chemoprotective effects of genistein induced by epigenetic factors have also been reported, the key molecules and mechanisms involved are poorly defined. …”

Giant two‐photon absorption and its saturation in 2D organic-inorganic perovskite by Liu, Weiwei, Xing, Jun, Zhao, Jiaxin, Wen, Xinglin, Wang, Kai, Lu, Peixiang, Xiong, Qihua

“…The TPA coefficient of a (PEA)2PbI4 flake is measured to be about 211.5 cm MW−1, which is at least one order of magnitude larger than those of 3D perovskite films and some typical semiconductor nanostructures. The giant TPA can be attributed to the enhanced quantum and dielectric confinement in the organic–inorganic multi‐quantum‐well structure. …”
