Bolstering functionality in multilayer and bilayer WS₂ via focused laser micro-engraving by Chan, Si Min, Poh, Eng Tuan, Leong, Jin Feng, Goh, Johnson Kuan Eng, Sow, Chorng Haur

“…Furthermore, we also detail the optical properties of the monolayers obtained from laser thinning, with those acquired from multilayers containing more defect-bound excitons, whereas those lasered from bilayers presenting a trion-dominated profile similar to as-grown monolayers. Together, these findings allow for faster and more efficient multilayer removal and areal shaping of optically active monolayer domains, in comparison to multistep and complex standard lithographic etching (lithography–etch–develop) procedures.…”

Direct reuse of electronic plastic scraps from computer monitor and keyboard to direct stem cell growth and differentiation by Shi, Pujiang, Tan, Chiew Kei, Wu, Zhuoran, Gabriel, Jean-Christophe P., Srinivasan, Madhavi, Lee, Jong-Min, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Interestingly, compared to commercial tissue-culture treated plastics and in a competitive adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation environment, ADSCs cultured on the keyboard and light diffuser plastics favoured bone cells formation while the grating-like microstructures of the prismatic sheet promoted fat cells differentiation via the process of contact guidance. Our findings point to the real possibility of utilizing discarded computer plastics as a "waste-to-resource" material to programme stem cell fate without further processing nor biochemical modification, thus providing an innovative second-life option for E-plastics from personal computers.…”

Simultaneous polymerization and adhesion under hypoxia in sickle cell disease by Papageorgiou, Dimitrios P., Abidi, Sabia Z., Chang, Hung-Yu, Li, Xuejin, Kato, Gregory J., Karniadakis, George E., Suresh, Subra, Dao, Ming

“…We show that (i) hypoxia significantly enhances sickle RBC adherence; (ii) HbS polymerization enhances sickle cell adherence in SRs and SMEs, but not in ISCs; (iii) SRs exhibit unique adhesion dynamics where HbS fiber projections growing outward from the cell surface create multiple sites of adhesion; and (iv) polymerization stimulates adhesion and vice versa, thereby establishing the bidirectional coupling between the two processes. These findings offer insights into possible mechanistic pathways leading to vasoocclusion crisis. …”
