We investigated the functions of adiponectin, an adipocyte-specific secretory protein and a
new member of the family of soluble defense collagens, in hematopoiesis and immune …

Species of the genus Streptomyces are of major pharmaceutical interest because they
synthesize a variety of bioactive secondary metabolites. We have determined the complete …

Streptomyces avermitilis is a soil bacterium that carries out not only a complex morphological
differentiation but also the production of secondary metabolites, one of which, avermectin, …

We determined the complete genome sequence of Streptomyces griseus IFO 13350, a soil
bacterium producing an antituberculosis agent, streptomycin, which is the first …

FramePlot is a web-based tool for predicting protein-coding regions in bacterial DNA with a
high G+C content, such as Streptomyces. The graphical output provides for easy distinction …

We wish to report the characteristic differences that have been identified between the ceramide
(CER) profiles of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients and those of healthy individuals. AD is …

Ceramides (CERs) in human stratum corneum (SC) play physicochemical roles in determining
barrier and water-holding functions of the skin, and specific species might be closely …

Broad action potentials (APs) and dopamine (DA) D 2 receptor (D 2 R)-mediated inhibition
are widely used to identify midbrain DA neurons. However, when these measures are taken …

We determined the genomic sequence of Nocardia farcinica IFM 10152, a clinical isolate,
and revealed the molecular basis of its versatility. The genome consists of a single circular …
