The class III receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3/FLK2 (FLT3; CD135) represents an important
molecule involved in early steps of hematopoiesis. Here we compare cell-surface expression of …

Purpose: The expression of the carcinoma-associated mucin MUC-1 is thought to be restricted
to epithelial cells and is used for micrometastatic tumor cell detection in patients with solid …

A strategy to phenotype rare populations of hematopoietic cells expressing the cell-surface
marker CD34 was studied. The antigenic phenotype of umbilical core blood (CB) CD34+ …

A novel model system was used to investigate the spread of infectious particles and live cells
through the application of lasers commonly used in clinical medicine. Supernatants from a …

Using the model system of ferroelectric domain walls, we explore the effects of long-range
dipolar interactions and periodic ordering on the behavior of pinned elastic interfaces. In …

Ferroelectric switching in BiFeO 3 multiferroic thin films was studied by piezoresponse force
microscopy, as a function of the tip voltage and sweep direction, for samples with two …

Juxtacellular interactions play an essential but still not fully understood role in both normal
tissue development and tumour invasion. Using proliferating cell fronts as a model system, we …

In vitro studies on hematopoietic control mechanisms have been hampered by the heterogeneity
of the analyzed cell populations, ie, lack of lineage specificity and developmental stage …

Since its inception, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has established itself as the tool of
choice for probing surfaces and functionalities at the nanoscale. Although recent …

Combining structural and functional measurements, we have mapped the phase diagram of
BiFeO 3/LaFeO 3 superlattices grown by off-axis sputtering on (110) o DyScO 3 substrates. …
