The inhibitor of apoptosis, cIAP2, contains a putative Ring finger motif at the C terminus.
Using in vitro ubiquitination assays, we found that the Ring finger of cIAP2 alone possesses …

Contact angle goniometry is conducted for epitaxial graphene on SiC. Although only a single
layer of epitaxial graphene exists on SiC, the contact angle drastically changes from 69 on …

Machining characteristics and surface integrity of advanced ceramics, including alumina,
alumina–titania, and yttria partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia, were studied under high …

Context: Visfatin (also known as pre-B cell colony-enhancing factor or PBEF) is a cytokine that
is highly expressed in visceral fat and whose blood levels correlate with obesity. Originally …

Ubiquitination of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases (RPTKs) terminates signaling by marking
active receptors for degradation. c-Cbl, an adapter protein for RPTKs, positively regulates …

Due to the emerging bacterial resistance and the protection of tenacious biofilms, it is hard
for the single antibacterial modality to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects nowadays. In …

Background: Selenium and α-tocopherol, the major form of vitamin E in supplements, appear
to have a protective effect against prostate cancer. However, little attention has been paid …

Survivin is a 16.5 kDa protein that is expressed during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and
is hypothesized to inhibit a default apoptotic cascade initiated in mitosis. This inhibitory …

The neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies include
senile plaques and/or neurofibrillary tangles 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Although mouse models have been …

It is extremely challenging to create an animatable clothed human avatar from RGB videos,
especially for loose clothes due to the difficulties in motion modeling. To address this problem…
