Cdc42 and Rac1 have been implicated in the regulation of various cell functions such as cell
morphology, polarity, and cell proliferation. We have partially purified a Cdc42- and Rac1-…

Rac1 small GTPase plays pivotal roles in various cell functions such as cell morphology,
cell polarity, and cell proliferation. We have previously identified IQGAP1 from bovine brain …

Postsynaptic density (PSD)-95, the most abundant postsynaptic scaffolding protein, plays a
pivotal role in synapse development and function. Continuous palmitoylation cycles on PSD-…

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) should be attractive for the reinforcement of
metal-matrix composites, because of their high strength, high modulus and high thermal …

Body fluid conditions are continuously monitored in the brain to regulate thirst and salt-appetite
sensations. Angiotensin II drives both thirst and salt appetite; however, the neural …

The lentiviral vector system based on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is used
extensively in gene therapy trials of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. …

The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse is fundamental for mammalian
reproduction: GnRH pulse regimens are needed as therapies for infertile women as continuous …

Diabetes mellitus is associated with various disorders of the locomotor system including the
decline in mass and function of skeletal muscle. The mechanism underlying this association …

Fast and wide field-of-view imaging with single-cell resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and
no optical aberrations have the potential to inspire new avenues of investigations in biology…

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized as a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative
disorder, and the deposition of specific protein aggregates of α-synuclein, termed Lewy …
