Intratumor heterogeneity reduces treatment efficacy and complicates our understanding of tumor progression. There is a pressing need to understand the functions of heterogeneous tumor cell subpopulations within a tumor, yet biological systems to study these processes in vitro are limited. With the advent of single-cell…

Immunohistochemical analysis of granule-associated proteases have revealed that human lungs mast cells constitute a heterogeneous population of cells, with distinct subpopulations identified. However, a systematic and comprehensive analysis of cell surface markers to study human lung mast cell heterogeneity is yet to…

'Michaël Wiertlewski'] Abstract— Tactile sensing can provide access to information about the contact (i.e. slippage, surface feature, friction), which is out of reach of vision but crucial for manipulation. To access this information, a dense measurement of the deformation of soft fingertips is necessary. Recently…

Visualization and annotation of segmented surfaces is of paramount importance for studying membrane proteins in their native cellular environment by cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET). Yet, analyzing membrane proteins and their organization is challenging due to their small sizes and the need to consider local…

Areal 3D analysis of surface texture gives more opportunities than a study of 2D profiles. Surface topography evaluation, considered as 3D dimensional analysis in micro or nanoscales, plays an important role in many fields of science and life. Among many texture parameters, those connected with height are the most…

Laser marking of polymer materials is a technology that is increasingly used in industry. Polypropylene (PP) shows a low ability to absorb electromagnetic radiation in the near-infrared range (λ = 1064 nm). The paper presents the influence of the surface condition of white-colored polypropylene moldings on the…

Thrombogenicity causes significant complications in the application of blood-contacting implants, requiring strategies to prevent adverse coagulation reactions. The thrombotic responses to the foreign surfaces are mainly driven by surficial factors such as surface energy, topography, and electrochemical interactions.…

'Rafał Kozera' 'Xabier García-Casas' 'Angel Barranco' 'Ana Paula Piedade'] Within these studies, the effect of surface topography for hydrophobic coatings was studied both numerically and experimentally. Chemically modified polyurethane coating was patterned by application of a laser beam. A set of patterns with…

The wetting of roughened surfaces is complicated since not all of the surface of the irregular surface is wetted and thus, the three-phase contact line for the liquid drop is a complex, three-dimensional line that varies according to the dimensions of the roughness and its spatial heterogeneity. This can cause the…
