Analysis of Electron-Induced Chemical Transformations in Vapor-Phase-Synthesized Al-Based Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Thin Films for EUV Resist Platform.

The rapid advancement and stringent requirements of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology necessitate the development of advanced photoresist systems for next-generation microelectronics. Recent studies have demonstrated that inorganic-based hybrid photoresists offer notable improvements in EUV sensitivity, etch resistance, and greater insusceptibility to pattern collapse compared to their purely organic counterparts. However, variations in the synthesis/coating approaches and chemistry of inorganic-organic photoresists can result in distinct exposure mechanisms.

Hepatoma-derived growth factor promotes liver carcinogenesis by inducing phosphatase and tensin homolog inactivation.

Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) is located on chromosome 1q21-23, a locus frequently amplified in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and has been proposed as an oncogenic factor by stimulating PI3K/Akt signaling. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) acts as a tumor suppressor that antagonizes PI3K/Akt signaling, suggesting a possible regulatory effect of HDGF on PTEN. Here, we aimed to investigate the regulatory role of HDGF on PTEN.

Glymphatic system dysfunction in adult ADHD: Relationship to cognitive performance.

Objectives: While attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) persists into adulthood, the relationship between glymphatic system function and cognitive performance in adult ADHD remains unclear. This study investigated the association between glymphatic system markers and cognitive outcomes in adults with ADHD.

Methods: This case-control study includes 41 adults with ADHD and 108 age-matched healthy controls (HCs).

Piezo1 specific deletion in macrophage protects the progression of chronic inflammatory bowel disease in mice.

Background &aims: Piezo1, a recently identified mechanically-activated nonselective cation channel protein, demonstrates sensitivity to various mechanical stimuli, such as matrix stiffness and shear stress. While accumulating evidence implicates Piezo1 channels in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes, its involvement in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute and chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Piezo1 channels in macrophage polarization and its associated functions in IBD.
