Cytoplasmic eIF6 promotes OSCC malignant behavior through AKT pathway.

Background: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6 (eIF6), also known as integrin β4 binding protein, is involved in ribosome formation and mRNA translation, acting as an anti-association factor. It is also essential for the growth and reproduction of cells, including tumor cells. Yet, its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear.

Alloyed (ZnSe)(x)(CuInSe2)(1-x) and CuInSe(x)S(2-x) nanocrystals with a monophase zinc blende structure over the entire composition range.

Metastable zinc blende CuInSe(2) nanocrystals were synthesized by a hot-injection approach. It was found that the lattice mismatches between zinc blende CuInSe(2) and ZnSe as well as CuInSe(2) and CuInS(2) are only 2.0% and 4.

Alloyed (ZnS)(x)(Cu2SnS3)(1-x) and (CuInS2)(x)(Cu2SnS3)(1-x) nanocrystals with arbitrary composition and broad tunable band gaps.

Cu(2)SnS(3) nanocrystals with metastable zincblende and wurtzite structures have been successfully synthesized for the first time. Alloyed (ZnS)(x)(Cu(2)SnS(3))(1-x) and (CuInS(2))(x)(Cu(2)SnS(3))(1-x) nanocrystals with arbitrary composition (0 ≤x≤ 1) and ultra-broad tunable band gaps (3.63 to 0.
