Development of the body plan is controlled by large networks of regulatory genes. A gene
regulatory network that controls the specification of endoderm and mesoderm in the sea …

Bioactive materials are a kind of materials with unique bioactivities, which can change the
cellular behaviors and elicit biological responses from living tissues. Bioactive materials came …

Despite the comprehensive applications in bioimaging, biosensing, drug/gene delivery, and
tumor therapy of manganese oxide nanomaterials (MONs including MnO 2 , MnO, Mn 2 O 3 …

Ultralong beltlike (or ribbonlike) nanostructures (so-called nanobelts) were successfully
synthesized for semiconducting oxides of zinc, tin, indium, cadmium, and gallium by simply …

Patten recognition receptors, which recognize pathogens or components of injured cells (danger),
trigger activation of the innate immune system. Whether and how the host …

The Hippo pathway plays a key role in organ size control by regulating cell proliferation and
apoptosis in Drosophila. Although recent genetic studies have shown that the Hippo …

The X-linked Foxp3 is a member of the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor family.
Germline mutations cause lethal autoimmune diseases in males. Serendipitously, we observed …

We have fabricated field-effect transistors (FETs) based on single SnO 2 and ZnO nanobelts
of thicknesses between 10 and 30 nm. Switching ratios as large as 6 orders of magnitude …

Age-related declines in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function may contribute to anemia,
poor response to vaccination, and tumorigenesis. Here, we show that mammalian target of …

The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)–mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is
a key regulator of cellular metabolism. We used conditional deletion of Tsc1 to address how …
