Extracellular vesicles in tumorigenesis, metastasis, chemotherapy resistance and intercellular communication in osteosarcoma.

Extracellular vehicles play crucial function in osteosarcoma tumorigenesis.Extracellular vehicles mediated the intercellular communication of osteosarcoma cells with other types cells in tumor microenvironment.Extracellular vehicles have potential utility in osteosarcoma diagnosis and treatment.

RNA binding proteins in osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic degenerative joint disease worldwide. The pathological features of OA are the erosion of articular cartilage, subchondral bone sclerosis, synovitis, and metabolic disorder. Its progression is characterized by aberrant expression of genes involved in inflammation, proliferation, and metabolism of chondrocytes.

Narrow bandpass tunable terahertz filter based on photonic crystal cavity.

We have fabricated a very narrow bandpass tunable terahertz (THz) filter based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal cavity. Since the filter consists of silicon wafers and air spacers, it has a very high quality factor of about 1500. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the passband is only about 200 MHz, and the peak transmission is higher than -4 dB.
