LncRNA495810 Promotes Proliferation and Migration of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells by Interacting with FABP5.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the malignant tumors with high morbidity and mortality. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are frequently dysregulated in human cancers and play an important role in the initiation and progression of HCC. Here, we investigated the expression of a new reported lncRNA495810 in our previous study by analyzing the publicly available datasets and using RT-qPCR assay.

Forest top canopy bacterial communities are influenced by elevation and host tree traits.

Background: The phyllosphere microbiome is crucial for plant health and ecosystem functioning. While host species play a determining role in shaping the phyllosphere microbiome, host trees of the same species that are subjected to different environmental conditions can still exhibit large degrees of variation in their microbiome diversity and composition. Whether these intra-specific variations in phyllosphere microbiome diversity and composition can be observed over the broader expanse of forest landscapes remains unclear.

Effect of Inevitable Heat Leap on the Conversion Efficiency of Thermoelectric Generators.

Discrepancies between experimental and theoretical results in the study of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have been a major long-standing problem in thermoelectric technology. In this Letter, we report that, besides interfacial resistance, the inevitable heat leap caused by the Peltier effect is the main factor affecting the conversion efficiency of TEGs. In fact, the heat leap is proven to have an impact of approximately 10% on the conversion efficiency of common TEGs.

Molecular Layer-Defined Transition of Carrier Distribution and Correlation with Transport in Organic Crystalline Semiconductors.

Despite the great efforts to unveil the charge carrier behavior at the semiconductor/dielectric interface of organic field-effect transistors, an examination of the interfacial carrier distribution and the correlation with the charge transport in molecular crystalline semiconductors remains fundamental for understanding the nature of the microscopic carrier motion. Hence, an effective approach to accurately tune the carrier distribution with molecular-layer precision is essential. Here, we find that the carrier accumulation is strictly modulated in highly ordered, few-layer molecular crystalline semiconducting films by tuning the polaronic coupling between the charge carriers and dielectric.

Millimeter-Sized Two-Dimensional Molecular Crystalline Semiconductors with Precisely Defined Molecular Layers via Interfacial-Interaction-Modulated Self-Assembly.

The newly emerging field in organic electronics is to control the molecule-substrate interface properties at a two-dimensional (2D) limit via interfacial interactions, which paves the way for driving the molecular assembly for highly ordered 2D molecular crystalline films with precise molecular layers and large-area uniformity. Here, by exploiting molecule-substrate van der Waals (vdW) interactions, we demonstrate thermally induced self-assembly of 2D organic crystalline films exhibiting well-defined molecular layer number over a millimeter-sized area. The organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with bilayer films show excellent electrical performance with a maximum mobility of 12.

Temperature dependence of piezo- and ferroelectricity in ultrathin P(VDF-TrFE) films.

The polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride--trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) is highly desirable for piezoelectric and ferroelectric functional applications owing to its considerable electromechanical activity and reliable electrical polarization. However, a clear understanding of the effect of the thermal annealing on the electromechanical behavior and polarization nature of ultrathin crystalline P(VDF-TrFE) films is severely lacking. Here we report the thermally induced structural reorganization, and piezo- and ferroelectric features in the ultrathin P(VDF-TrFE) films.
