During neocortical development, the extensive migratory movements of neurons from their
place of birth to their final location are essential for the coordinated wiring of synaptic circuits …

Carbon nanotubes have shown promise as contrast agents for photoacoustic and photothermal
imaging of tumours and infections because they offer high resolution and allow deep …

Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear hormone receptors that regulate cholesterol and fatty
acid metabolism in liver tissue and in macrophages. Although LXR activation enhances …

Coordinated migration of newly born neurons to their prospective target laminae is a prerequisite
for neural circuit assembly in the developing brain. The evolutionarily conserved LIS1/…

Maternal immune activation (MIA) via infection during pregnancy is known to increase risk
for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, it is unclear how MIA disrupts fetal brain gene …

A thermodynamic consistency test of vapor-liquid equilibrium data at low pressure has been
proposed which permits the over-all check of the data by combining three tests; i) point test …

Adiponectin is exclusively expressed in differentiated adipocytes and plays an important role
in regulating energy homeostasis, including the glucose and lipid metabolism associated …

Heterozygous LIS1 mutations are responsible for the human neuronal migration disorder
lissencephaly. Mitotic functions of LIS1 have been suggested from many organisms throughout …

Despite recent remarkable advances in microscopic techniques, it still remains very challenging
to directly observe the complex structure of cytoplasmic organelles in live cells without a …

Novel combinatorial libraries consisting of simplified amino acid sequences were designed
to screen for peptides active against theCandida albicans membrane. A novel decapeptide, …
