Is the photonic crystal with a Dirac cone at its Г point a real zero-index material?
A novel optical property of a conventional two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystal (PC) has been reported by establishing a Dirac cone at the Г point of its band structure: it manipulates waves as if it ha...

CHMP6 and VPS4A mediate the recycling of Ras to the plasma membrane to promote growth factor signaling
While Ras is well-known to function on the plasma membrane (PM) to mediate growth factor signaling, increasing evidence suggests that Ras has complex roles in the cytoplasm. To uncover these roles, we screened...
