Dimensional stability can be improved by either steaming or heating wood while the wood is
in a compressed state. This study investigated the effect of steam or heat on fixation of …

We show that structural changes of a guest molecule can trigger structural transformations of
a crystalline host framework. Azobenzene was introduced into a flexible porous coordination …

It is assumed that a timely mass administration of antiviral drugs, backed by quarantines and
social distancing, could contain a nascent influenza epidemic at its source, provided that the …

Loss of RUNX3 expression is suggested to be causally related to gastric cancer as 45% to
60% of gastric cancers do not express RUNX3 mainly due to hypermethylation of the …

A tumor suppressor function has been attributed to RUNX3, a member of the RUNX family of
transcription factors. Here, we examined alterations in the expression of three members …

Phenolic compounds have been identified as the most common allelochemicals produced
by higher plants. Inhibitions of cinnamic acid, its related phenolic derivatives, and abscisic …

Neurodegeneration correlates with Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms, but the molecular
identities of pathogenic amyloid β-protein (Aβ) oligomers and their targets, leading to …

BACKGROUND: Although endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is expected to reduce
the local recurrence of gastric cancers, we still experienced cases of recurrence after an …

Nonfibrillar assemblies of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) are considered to play primary roles in
Alzheimer disease (AD). Elucidating the assembly pathways of these specific aggregates is …

OBJECTIVES: The narrow-band imaging (NBI) system is a novel technology that enhances
the visualization of microvasculature and mucosal patterns. The aim of this study was to …
