Identification of a seven-gene prognostic model for renal cell carcinoma associated with CD8+T lymphocyte cell.

CD8+ T lymphocytes are important elements of the tumor microenvironment, hence their involvement in the development and progression of tumors is complex. Data on the precise tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes gene signature in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain limited. Therefore, this study created a tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes-related predictive model for patients with RCC using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas.

Thermal capillary waves on bounded nanoscale thin films.

The effect of confining walls on the fluctuation of a nanoscale thin film's free surface is studied using stochastic thin-film equations (STFEs). Two canonical boundary conditions are employed to reveal the influence of the confinement: (1) an imposed contact angle and (2) a pinned contact line. A linear stability analysis provides the wave eigenmodes, after which thermal-capillary-wave theory predicts the wave fluctuation amplitudes.
