Complete miscibility of immiscible elements at the nanometre scale
Understanding the mixing behaviour of elements in a multielement material is important to control its structure and property. When the size of a multielement material is decreased to the nanoscale, the miscibi...

Active hole formation in epithelioid tissues
The formation of holes in epithelial tissue is essential for development, but it can also be associated with epithelial barrier dysfunction and cancer progression. Here we show that active cell contraction in ...

Targeting ONECUT3 blocks glycolytic metabolism and potentiates anti-PD-1 therapy in pancreatic cancer
Reprogramming glucose metabolism, also known as the Warburg effect (aerobic glycolysis), is a hallmark of cancers. Increased tumor glycolysis not only favors rapid cancer cell proliferation but reprograms the ...
