Matching of various chalcogenide films shows the advantage of delivering multilayer heterostructures whose physical properties can be tuned with respect to the ones of the constituent single films. In this work, (Ge-Sb-Te)-based heterostructures were deposited by radio frequency sputtering on Si(100) substrates and annealed up to 400 °C. The as-deposited and annealed samples were studied by means of X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

The combination of these functionalities holds great technological impact, potentially enabling the design of novel multifunctional devices. Here an experimental and theoretical study of epitaxial (GeTe) (Sb Te ) with GeTe-rich composition is presented.

Methods: Ninety patients attending the diabetes technology outpatient clinic were enrolled. DPN was investigated according to the Toronto consensus diagnostic criteria.
Purpose: Myelofibrosis (MF) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by systemic symptoms, cytopenias, organomegaly, and bone marrow fibrosis. JAK2 inhibitors afford symptom and spleen burden reduction but do not alter the disease course and frequently lead to thrombocytopenia. TGFβ, a pleiotropic cytokine elaborated by the MF clone, negatively regulates normal hematopoiesis, downregulates antitumor immunity, and promotes bone marrow fibrosis.

- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious lung disease with few treatment options due to a lack of understanding of its causes and limitations in animal models.
- Researchers hypothesized that GATA1 deficient megakaryocytes, known to worsen myelofibrosis, might also lead to lung fibrosis.
- Their findings revealed that these megakaryocytes are present in both IPF patients and mice, and manipulating key factors like P-selectin and TGF-β1 can prevent lung fibrosis in the mice model, suggesting a new avenue for understanding and treating IPF.
