INTERFACE DIAGNOSTICS: IN-SITU PREDICTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL SUPERCOOLING AND BACKMELTING BY GROWTH INTERFACE ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE

Interface diagnostics: In-situ prediction of constitutional supercooling and backmelting by growth interface electromotive force

Constitutional supercooling and backmelting are common interface instability phenomena that occur during crystal growth and induce serious component inhomogeneity and defect proliferation; these flaws impede further crystalline devices.However, the interpretation and prevention of the above instabilities are extremely difficult because of the elusi

Back to the Basics: Usefulness of Naturally Aged Mouse Models and Immunohistochemical and Quantitative Morphologic Methods in Studying Mechanisms of Lung Aging and Associated Diseases

Aging-related molecular and cellular alterations in the lung contribute to an increased susceptibility of the elderly to devastating diseases.Although the study of the aging process in the lung may benefit from the use of genetically modified mouse models and omics techniques, these approaches are still not available to most researchers and produce

Large vesicle extrusions from C. elegans neurons are consumed and stimulated by glial-like phagocytosis activity of the neighboring cell

Caenorhabditis elegans neurons under stress can produce giant vesicles, several microns in diameter, called exophers.Current models suggest that exophers are neuroprotective, providing a mechanism for stressed neurons to eject toxic protein aggregates and organelles.However, little is known of the fate of the exopher once it leaves the neuron.We fo
