Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle-specific disease that increases the risk of heart
failure and mortality in diabetic patients independent of vascular pathology. Mitochondria …

Autophagy is a degradation system for intracellular components. One of the roles of
autophagy is the prompt removal of damaged organelles. Another unique role is to supply …

DEAD-box RNA helicases, which regulate various processes involving RNA, have two RecA-
like domains as a catalytic core to alter higher-order RNA structures. We determined the 2.2 …

In Drosophila, maternally supplied Nanos functions in the migration of primordial germ cells
(PGCs) into the gonad; in mice, zygotic genes are involved instead. We report the cloning …

Although extensively studied within the lidar community, the multiple scattering
phenomenon has always been considered a rare curiosity by radar meteorologists. Up to …

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is abundant in seafood, has been reported to be a
potent antagonist of platelet aggregation and also to reduce the incidene of cardiovascular …

A substantial proportion of eukaryotic transcripts are considered to be noncoding RNAs
because they contain only short open reading frames (sORFs). Recent findings suggest …

IN many animal groups, factors required for germline formation are localized in germ
plasm1, a region of the egg cytoplasm. In Drosophila embryos, germ plasm is located in the …

Embryonic patterning in Drosophila is regulated by maternal factors. Many such factors
become localized as mRNAs within the oocyte during oogenesis and are translated in a …

Co/C nanoparticles (NPs) with a size of 45 nm have been prepared by an arc plasma
method under a mixed methane and argon atmosphere. They display a uniform carbon shell …
