Recent Advances in Suspended 2D Materials and Their Applications.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted significant attention, owing to their atomically thin thickness; large specific surface area; and excellent mechanical, optical, and electronic properties. Suspended 2D materials, which eliminate substrate effects, exhibit unique potential in a variety of applications, including ultrasensitive sensors, flexible electronic devices, acoustic devices, and optoelectronic devices. However, a central challenge in the fabrication of high-quality suspended structures lies in transfer technology-how to accurately transfer atomically thin layers onto target substrates or form self-suspended structures without introducing contamination or causing mechanical damage.

VTe: Broadband Saturable Absorber for Passively Q-Switched Lasers in the Near- and Mid-Infrared Regions.

In this study, we demonstrate the fabrication of a novel 2D transition metal dichalcogenide, VTe, into a saturable absorber (SA) by using the liquid phase exfoliation method. Furthermore, the first-principles calculations were conducted to elucidate the electronic band structures and absorption spectrum. The nonlinear optical absorption properties of VTe at 1.

Novel -, -(intergenic) double-fusion responded well to alectinib in an advanced lung adenocarcinoma patient: a case report.

Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearrangement have favorable responses to ALK inhibitors. However, fusion mutations harbored approximately 90 distinct fusion partners. Patients with different fusions might respond distinctly to different-generation ALK inhibitors.

Down-regulation of the ErbB3 binding protein 1 in human bladder cancer promotes tumor progression and cell proliferation.

The ErbB3 binding protein 1 (Ebp1) represents a downstream effector of the ErbB signaling network and has been demonstrated to be a potent tumor suppressor in various human malignancies, however, its involvement in human bladder cancer is still unclear.To investigate the clinical significance and potential role of ErbB3 binding protein 1 (Ebp1) in bladder cancer. Ebp1 expression at protein and gene levels in 52 surgically removed bladder cancer specimens as well as 21 adjacent normal bladder specimens were respectively detected by immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR.
