Density functional theory study of native point defects in CaO
We investigate the structural, electronic, and optical properties of native point defects in CaO using first-principles density functional calculations. Oxygen vacancies (VO) are favored under O-poor conditions, whereas calcium vacancies (VCa) dominate under O-rich conditions. Ca...

Multifaceted roles of KCTD17 in cellular homeostasis and disease
Potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein 17 (KCTD17) is part of the BTB/POZ domain-containing KCTD protein family and serves as a multifunctional regulator of cellular homeostasis. As an adaptor protein associated with Cullin 3 (CUL3)-based E3 ubiquitin ligase...
