Persistent emission with a long lifetime (>1 s) from organic materials can only be observed at
a low temperature, because of the significant nonradiative deactivation pathway that occurs …

Adherens junctions (AJs), which are organized by adhesion proteins and the underlying
actin cytoskeleton, probably sense pulling forces from adjacent cells and modulate opposing …

Receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) plays an essential role in osteoclast formation
and bone resorption. Although genetic and biochemical studies indicate that RANKL …

To achieve solvent-free polymer electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, network polymer
electrolytes with hyperbranched ether side chains were synthesized. A monosubstituted …

Nonmuscle myosin II, an actin-based motor protein, plays an essential role in actin cytoskeleton
organization and cellular motility. Although phosphorylation of its regulatory light chain (…

Macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) is a member of the CC chemokines. We
have previously reported the use of a whole bone marrow culture system to show that MIP-1α …

Single unit activity was recorded from the hippocampus while Japanese monkeys (Macaca
fuscata, n = 4) were performing a delayed response (DR) task. A total of 272 units showed an …

L-Buthionine (S, R)-sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, was
administered to mice via drinking water for 14 days in order to establish an animal model with …

Shiga toxin (Stx) is a major virulence factor in infection with Stx-producing Escherichia coli (STEC).
We developed a series of linear polymers of acrylamide, each with a different density …

With the development of distributed generation (DG) technologies and the implementation
of policies to encourage their applications, building combined heat and power (BCHP) is …
