Y-doped ceria, YCeO, is an oxide ion conductor that shows n-type conductivity under a small applied voltage. With increasing voltage, resistive switching by 2-3 orders of magnitude occurs that is reversible with some hysteresis and is enhanced in atmospheres of reduced pO. The switching is a bulk effect, is not associated with Schottky barriers or with a crystallographic transition, occurs rapidly after a premonitory onset period depending on conditions and shows characteristics of a Mott transition. This is the third known example of low field-induced resistive switching in a bulk ceramic and represents an emergent phenomenon in materials that are taken outside their zone of thermodynamic stability.

Objective: Identifying factors influencing cannabidiol (CBD) exposure can optimize treatment efficacy and safety. We aimed to describe the population pharmacokinetics of CBD in children with drug-resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) and assess the influence of environmental, pharmacological, and clinical characteristics on CBD systemic exposure.
Methods: Data from two pharmacokinetic studies of patients aged 2-18 years with DEEs were included (N = 48 patients).

A spin valve represents a well-established device concept in magnetic memory technologies, whose functionality is determined by electron transmission, controlled by the relative alignment of magnetic moments of the two ferromagnetic layers. Recently, the advent of valleytronics has conceptualized a valley spin valve (VSV)─a device that utilizes the valley degree of freedom and spin-valley locking to achieve a similar valve effect without relying on magnetism. In this study, we propose a nonvolatile VSV (-VSV) based on a two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric semiconductor where resistance of -VSV is controlled by a ferroelectric domain wall between two uniformly polarized domains.

Dysregulation of its function has been implicated in various pathologies, including obesity, diabetes, and cancer, highlighting its importance as a potential therapeutic target. Despite this, the development of tools to selectively target the Golgi in specific cell types remain a significant unmet challenge in imaging and drug discovery.

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynecologic cancers affecting the female reproductive tract. This is largely attributed to frequent recurrence and development of resistance to the platinum-based drugs cisplatin and carboplatin. One of the major contributing factors to increased cancer progression and resistance to chemotherapy is the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Few cases of tenofovir resistance have been reported, and the appropriate treatment for such cases remains unclear. We aimed to share a case of a chronic hepatitis B mono-infected patient with potential tenofovir resistance who required combined lamivudine and tenofovir therapy to achieve adequate viral suppression. The patient's viral load (plasma) was monitored using the cobas® hepatitis B virus Test on the cobas® 6800 system.
