Remarkably, the Chern number (±1) and the propagating direction of QAHE edge channels can be continuously switched via shifting the direction of the in-plane magnetic field. When magnetization is applied out-of-plane, the YN2 monolayer realizes an out-of-plane QAHE phase with a high Chern number of 3. The nontrivial edge states for all the…[Read more]

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common liver malignant tumor. CircRNA hsa_circ_0005230 (circDNM3OS) has been reported to exert an oncogenic role in CCA. However, the mechanisms related to circDNM3OS in CAA progression have not been fully elucidated.

The expression of circDNM3OS, microRNA (miR)-145-5p, and MORC2 (MORC Family…[Read more]

25; 95% CI, 1.08-1.44, P = 0.002, FDR-adjusted P = 0.062 for OS). Although some SNPs showed potentially predictive values, these associations were not confirmed after FDR adjustment. In conclusion, the results of this study are warranting additional studies to provide the evidence that RBP-related SNPs may be associated with the prognosis of…[Read more]

Upon gamete fusion, animal egg cells secrete proteases from cortical granules to establish a fertilization envelope as a block to polyspermy1-4. Fertilization in flowering plants is more complex and involves the delivery of two non-motile sperm cells by pollen tubes5,6. Simultaneous penetration of ovules by multiple pollen tubes (polytubey) is…[Read more]
