However, these guidelines are not comprehensive. Refining and universally adopting them is essential to foster the stratification of CNMs

This demonstrates that GRPR expression is not a universal marker of SCLC or any other tumour and that future development of GRPR-targeted therapeutics would require patient stratification according to the expression status.

With κ ≫ 1, the redistribution of the CNTs in an LC layer can be neglected, considering the volume fraction of CNTs to be constant inside

• coated with PEG + [EMIM][EtSO4] than in the sample coated with PEG + [EMIM][TfO]. Since the expected ratios should be similar in both cases, these results are compatible with stratification of the surface layers to some extent, with [EMIM][EtSO4] being closer to the Si surface than [EMIM][TfO]. This

Stratification of ILs near solid surfaces, namely alumina and silica, was detected by several authors using atomic force microscopy imaging and MD simulations, even in the absence of long alkyl side chains

• [34][35]. However, stratification may lead to large distortions of the XPS atomic ratios when compared to the stoichiometric ones [36], thus no further quantitative analysis was performed. Overall, these results seem to indicate a stronger interaction between [EMIM][EtSO4] and the surface compared
