Microautophagy, the non-selective lysosomal degradative process, involves direct engulfment
of cytoplasmic cargo at a boundary membrane by autophagic tubes, which mediate both …

The interaction between microglia and astrocytes significantly influences neuroinflammation.
Microglia/astrocytes, part of the neurovascular unit (NVU), are activated by various brain …

Plant lectins, carbohydrate-binding proteins distributed widely in a variety of plant species,
have drawn a rising attention for cancer biologists due to their remarkable anti-tumour …

We report the discovery of bulk superconductivity (SC) at 6.1 K in a quasi-one-dimensional
chromium pnictide K 2 Cr 3 As 3 that contains [(Cr 3 As 3) 2−]∞ double-walled subnanotubes …

Polygonatum cyrtonema lectin (PCL), a mannose-binding lectin, has been reported to
induce cytotoxicity and apoptosis. Herein, we demonstrated that PCL-induced apoptosis and …

Background Recently, melatonin has been associated with cancer both in vitro and in vivo.
However, the value of melatonin in the treatment of cancer remains disputable. Hence, we …

Mammals cannot see light over 700 nm in wavelength. This limitation is due to the physical
thermodynamic properties of the photon-detecting opsins. However, the detection of naturally …

Lectins, a group of highly diverse, carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin that
are ubiquitously distributed in plants, animals and fungi, are well-characterized to have …

Apoptosis and autophagy are genetically regulated, evolutionarily-conserved processes that
regulate cell fate; however, apoptosis invariably contributes to cancer cell death, whereas …

2D GeSe possesses black phosphorous‐analog‐layered structure and shows excellent
environmental stability, as well as highly anisotropic in‐plane properties. Additionally, its high …
