Membrane topography variations cause apparent protein clustering
Apparent clustering of membrane proteins occurs upon failing to account for membrane topography variations. This we demonstrate and present a remedy for. Our data suggest that the high incidence of clustering reported misrepresents biology of consequence for our conceptional understanding.

A singular plasmonic-thermoelectric hollow nanostructure inducing apoptosis and cuproptosis for catalytic cancer therapy
A high-performance plasmonic-thermoelectric catalytic therapy utilizing copper vacancy-enriched Cu2−xSe hollow nanospheres. The accumulations of reactive oxygen species, heat and copper ions within cancer cells trigger cuproptosis and apoptosis, creating a synergistic therapeutic effect.
