The frequency-dependent shear viscosities of four representative imidazolium-based room-temperature
ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([…

Although genes with similar expression patterns are sometimes found in the same genomic
regions, almost nothing is known about the relative organization in genomes of genes and …

Several members of the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) have been reported to be
related to tumor progression and metastasis. The aims of our study were to clarify the …

Pelizaeus — Merzbacher disease (PMD) is an X-linked neurological disorder characterized
by dysmyelination in the central nervous system (CNS). Recently mutations of the myelln …

To evaluate whether angiogenic factors are of clinical relevance to actual human pancreatic
cancers, we studied the intratumoral microvessel density (IMD), and PD-ECGF, VEGF …

Cord factor, also called trehalose-6,6′-dimycolate (TDM), is a potent mycobacterial adjuvant.
We herein report that the C-type lectin MCL (also called Clec4d) is a TDM receptor that is …

Purpose: We previously established a novel murine monoclonal antibody(MH8-11) that
recognized aminopeptidase N (APN)/cluster of differentiation antigen 13 (CD13). This …

We improved the apparatus for measuring frequency-dependent complex strain-optical
coefficient using ultrasonically induced depolarized light diffraction. Measurements were …

C-type lectin receptors expressed in APCs are recently defined pattern recognition receptors
that play a crucial role in immune responses against pathogen-associated molecular …

The study of HOPE, which stands for the H-II Orbiting Plane, started in 1986, or 5 years after
NASA had succeeded the first Space Shuttle flight. The planning of the International Space …
