Polymer-like Inorganic Double Helical van der Waals Semiconductor.

In high-performance flexible and stretchable electronic devices, conventional inorganic semiconductors made of rigid and brittle materials typically need to be configured into geometrically deformable formats and integrated with elastomeric substrates, which leads to challenges in scaling down device dimensions and complexities in device fabrication and integration. Here we report the extraordinary mechanical properties of the newly discovered inorganic double helical semiconductor tin indium phosphate. This spiral-shape double helical crystal shows the lowest Young's modulus (13.

MAD2B promotes podocyte injury through regulating Numb-dependent Notch 1 pathway in diabetic nephropathy.

Recent studies have demonstrated that the loss of podocyte is a critical event in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Previously, our group have found that the mitotic arrest deficient protein MAD2B was involved in high glucose (HG)-induced podocyte injury by regulating APC/C activity. However, the exact mechanism of MAD2B implicated in podocyte injury is still lacking.
