Furin-Triggered Peptide Self-Assembly Activates Coumarin Excimer Fluorescence for Precision Live-Cell Imaging by Peiyao Chen, Liling Meng, Yuting Wang, Xiaoya Yan, Meiqin Li, Yun Deng, Yao Sun

“…Upon entering furin-overexpressing 4T1 tumor cells, RF-Cou underwent enzymatic cleavage, releasing an amphiphilic peptide motif and self-assembling into nanoparticles largely concentrated in the Golgi apparatus to confine the diffusion of Cou. During this process, the Cou excimers were formed and induced a red shift in the fluorescence emission, validating the feasibility of RF-Cou in efficient excimer imaging of furin-overexpressing tumor cells. …”

Morphology and dynamics of inflated subaqueous basaltic lava flows by Anne Deschamps, Cécile Grigné, Morgane Le Saout, Samuel Adam Soule, Pascal Allemand, Brigitte Van Vliet‐Lanoe, France Floc'h

“…Their height is 2–3 times smaller and their length being 10–15 times shorter. Based on heat diffusion equation, we demonstrate that more efficient cooling of a lava flow in water leads to the rapid development of thicker (by 25%) cooled layer at the flow surface, which has greater yield strength to counteract its internal hydrostatic pressure than in subaerial environments, thus limiting lava breakouts to form new lobes, hence promoting inflation. …”
