We have studied the crystallization behavior of colloidal cubes by means of tunable depletion
interactions. The colloidal system consists of novel micron-sized cubic particles prepared …

The vertical deposition technique for creating crystalline microstructures is applied for the first
time to nonspherical colloids in the form of hollow silica cubes. Controlled deposition of the …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In contrast to the extensive documentation on the short-term
outcome of patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities, little …

We introduce a new class of spherical colloids that reversibly self-assemble into well-defined
nonlinear structures by virtue of “magnetic patches”. This assembly is driven by tunable …

Rationale: The microbial communities inhabiting the upper respiratory tract protect from
respiratory infection. The maturity of the immune system is a major influence on the composition …

The specificity and the temporal location of cell cycle arrest induced by the cyclin-dependent
kinase (CDK) inhibitors olomoucine and roscovitine were investigated in normal human …

Heart failure is a clinical syndrome that affects >6.5 million Americans, with an estimated
550 000 new cases diagnosed each year. The complexity of heart failure management is …

The features of various anions having different soft/hard character (aliphatic and aromatic
amines, alcohoxydes, phenoxides, thiolates) are compared with regard to nucleophilic …

The heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-1 (Sdc1) modulates cell proliferation, adhesion,
migration and angiogenesis. Proteinase-mediated shedding converts Sdc1 from a …

Microbial colonization of the human intestine impacts host metabolism and immunity;
however, exactly when colonization occurs is unclear. Although many studies have reported …
