Patternable particle microarray utilizing controllable particle delivery
Abstract In this study, we demonstrate an on-demand delivering and sequential arraying of single microparticles utilizing multiple pneumatic pressure-driven elastomer valves and... -
Removal of the product from the culture medium strongly enhances free fatty a...
Abstract Background Cyanobacterial mutants engineered for production of free fatty acids (FFAs) secrete the products to the medium and hence are thought to be useful for biofuel... -
Synthesis of graphene oxide-quaternary ammonium nanocomposite with synergisti...
Abstract Background Bacterial infection is one of the most common complications in burn, trauma, and chronic refractory wounds and is an impediment to healing. The frequent... -
Performance of Nano-Submicron-Stripe Pd Thin-Film Temperature Sensors
Abstract Dozens of small dual-beam thin-film temperature sensors with a total width down to 430 nm were fabricated and tested. The sensors were all made from 90-nm-thick Pd thin... -
Fecal metatranscriptomics of macaques with idiopathic chronic diarrhea reveal...
Abstract Background Idiopathic chronic diarrhea (ICD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality among juvenile rhesus macaques. Characterized by chronic inflammation of the... -
Single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography imaging of RAG...
Abstract Background Expression of the Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) initiates pro-inflammatory pathways resulting in lung destruction. We hypothesized that... -
A self-similar map of rhythmic components
This paper defines a collection of rhythmic building blocks produced by generative operations that fuse metrical anticipation and parallelism. It connects aspects of musical... -
Suppression of endothelial cell migration by tumor associated macrophage-deri...
Abstract Objective To study the mechanism by which epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC)-derived exosomes restore the migration of endothelial cells that is suppressed by TAM-derived... -
Epigenetic and non-epigenetic mode of SIRT1 action during oocyte meiosis prog...
Abstract Background SIRT1 histone deacetylase acts on many epigenetic and non-epigenetic targets. It is thought that SIRT1 is involved in oocyte maturation; therefore, the... -
Changes of the glutathione redox system during the weaning transition in pigl...
Abstract Background Weaning is known to result in barrier dysfunction and villus atrophy in the immediate post-weaning phase, and the magnitude of these responses is... -
The IL-23/IL-22/IL-18 axis in murine Campylobacter jejuni infection
Abstract Background Human Campylobacter jejuni infections are worldwide on the rise. Information about the distinct molecular mechanisms underlying campylobacteriosis, however,... -
Fecal DNA isolation and degradation in clam Cyclina sinensis: noninvasive DNA...
Abstract Background To avoid destructive sampling for conservation and genetic assessment, we isolated the DNA of clam Cyclina sinensis from their feces. DNA electrophoresis and... -
Neutrophil extracellular traps induce aggregation of washed human platelets i...
Abstract Background The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a mesh of DNA, histones and neutrophil proteases from neutrophils, was first demonstrated as a host... -
Epigenetically upregulated oncoprotein PLCE1 drives esophageal carcinoma angi...
Abstract Background Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies. Neovascularization during tumorigenesis supplies oxygen and nutrients to... -
Glucocorticoids promote transition of ductal carcinoma in situ to invasive du...
Abstract Background The microenvironment and stress factors like glucocorticoids have a strong influence on breast cancer progression but their role in the first stages of... -
Synthetic control devices for gene regulation in Penicillium chrysogenum
Abstract Background Orthogonal, synthetic control devices were developed for Penicillium chrysogenum, a model filamentous fungus and industrially relevant cell factory. In the... -
Transcriptome analysis reveals regional and temporal differences in mucosal i...
Abstract Background Postnatal development of the mammalian mucosal immune system is crucial for responding to the rapid colonization by commensal bacteria and possible exposure... -
Severe burn injury alters intestinal microbiota composition and impairs intes...
Abstract Background The intestinal barrier integrity is crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, and the mechanisms of intestinal barrier disruption induced by burn... -
Rough surface Au@Ag core–shell nanoparticles to fabricating high sensitivity ...
Abstract Immunochromatographic sensors (ICSs) are inexpensive, simple, portable, and robust, thus making ICSs commonplace in clinical diagnoses, food testing, and environmental... -
Preclinical in vivo application of 152Tb-DOTANOC: a radiolanthanide for PET i...
Abstract Background Terbium has attracted the attention of researchers and physicians due to the existence of four medically interesting radionuclides, potentially useful for...
