Reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency, thereby creating induced pluripotent stem
(iPS) cells, promises to transform regenerative medicine. Most instances of direct …

Sperm–oocyte fusion is one of the most impressive events in sexual reproduction, and the
elucidation of its molecular mechanism has fascinated researchers for a long time. Because …

Abstract Objective. Myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) are a useful tool in diagnosis,
defining clinical subsets and predicting prognosis of dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis …

We investigated the utility of adaptive management (AM) in wildlife management, reviewing
our experiences in applying AM to overabundant sika deer (Cervus nippon) populations in …

The cell-surface molecule Cd9, a member of the transmembrane-4 superfamily 1, interacts
with the integrin family 2 and other membrane proteins 3, 4, 5, and is postulated to …

Transgenic expression of just four defined transcription factors (c-Myc, Klf4, Oct4 and Sox2)
is sufficient to reprogram somatic cells to a pluripotent state,,,. The resulting induced …

This paper reviews the authors' investigation into polymer crystallization, especially
involving a spinodal decomposition (SD) type phase separation due to the orientation …

Cells of early mammalian embryos have the potential to develop into any adult cell type, and
are thus said to be pluripotent. Pluripotency is lost during embryogenesis as cells commit to …

Osteoclast progenitors differentiate into mature osteoclasts in the presence of receptor
activator of NF-κB (RANK) ligand on stromal or osteoblastic cells and monocyte macrophage …

Mbd3 is a core component of the NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling and Histone
Deacetylation) co-repressor complex, and NuRD-mediated silencing has been implicated in …
