In this Perspective article, we evaluate the current state of research on the use of focused electron and ion beams to directly fabricate nanoscale superconducting devices with application in quantum technologies.First, the article introduces the main superconducting devices and their fabrication by means of standard lithography techniques such as
Abstract Background Premigratory neural crest progenitors undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and leave the neural tube as motile cells.Previously, we showed that BMP generates trunk neural crest emigration through canonical Wnt signaling which in turn stimulates G1/S transition.The molecular network underlying this process is, however,
Abstract Background Grafting is widely used in horticulture and rootstocks are known to modify scion growth and adaptation to soil conditions.However, the role of scion genotype in regulating rootstock development and functioning has remained largely unexplored.In this study, reciprocal grafts of two grapevine genotypes were produced as well as the
