▪ Abstract Immune cell–mediated destruction of pathogens may result in excessive collateral
damage to normal tissues, and the failure to control activated immune cells may cause …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the fundamental properties of hexagonal ferrites
with magnetoplumbite structure. Ferrimagnetic properties of the magnetoplumbite type …

The development of renewable energy technologies is essential to achieve carbon
neutrality. Hydrogen can be stably stored and transported in large quantities to maximize …

Nitric oxide is a gaseous, free radical which plays a role as an intracellular second
messenger and a diffusable intercellular messenger. To obtain direct evidence for NO …

Wave forms of BEN (Broadband Electrostatic Noise) in the geomagnetic tail were first
detected by the Wave Form Capture receiver on the GEOTAIL spacecraft. The results show …

The molecular mechanisms regulating the amount of dietary cholesterol retained in the
body, as well as the body's ability to exclude selectively other dietary sterols, are poorly …

We have developed a technique that allows mechanical and ligand-binding events in a
single myosin molecule to be monitored simultaneously. We describe how steps in the …

Interleukin (IL)-18 was identified as a molecule that induces IFN-γ production and enhances
NK cell cytotoxicity. In this paper, we report upon the purification and characterization of …

Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) is known to have a high quantum yield (ϕ) of fluorescence
in aqueous solution but has not been utilized much for biological applications, compared to …

To explore induced islet neogenesis in the liver as a strategy for the treatment of diabetes,
we used helper-dependent adenovirus (HDAD) to deliver the pancreatic duodenal …
