Stat3-mediated Atg7 expression regulates anti-tumor immunity in mouse melanoma.

Epigenetic modifications to DNA and chromatin control oncogenic and tumor-suppressive mechanisms in melanoma. Ezh2, the catalytic component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), which mediates methylation of lysine 27 on histone 3 (H3K27me3), can regulate both melanoma initiation and progression. We previously found that mutant Ezh2 interacts with the immune regulator Stat3 and together they affect anti-tumor immunity.

Complex Three-Dimensional Microscale Structures for Quantum Sensing Applications.

We present a novel method for fabricating highly customizable three-dimensional structures hosting quantum sensors based on nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers using two-photon polymerization. This approach overcomes challenges associated with structuring traditional single-crystal quantum sensing platforms and enables the creation of complex, fully three-dimensional, sensor assemblies with submicroscale resolutions (down to 400 nm) and large fields of view (>1 mm). By embedding NV center-containing nanoparticles in exemplary structures, we demonstrate high sensitivity optical sensing of temperature and magnetic fields at the microscale.
