The c-erbB-2 gene is a v-erbB-related proto-oncogene which is distinct from the gene encoding
the epidermal growth factor receptor. By using two independent methods, hybridization …

BACKGROUND Malignant cells show increased glucose uptake in vitro and in vivo, which
is believed to be facilitated by glucose transporters (Gluts). Expression of Glut1, one of the …

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is the most frequent cause of hereditary grand mal
seizures 1 , 2 . We previously mapped and narrowed a region associated with JME on …

Biomass has received much attention as a new energy source, because it is renewable and

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is induced in leptin-deficient (ob/ob)
mouse liver and is critical for the development of hepatic steatosis. The present study shows …

Mutations in the EPM2A gene encoding a dual-specificity phosphatase (laforin) cause Lafora

Compelling evidence in Caucasian populations suggests a role for copy-number variations (CNVs)
in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ). We analyzed 1,108 …

Evidence for the donor nature of sulfur in diamond was obtained by introducing hydrogen
sulfide into the microwave assisted plasma chemical vapor deposition process. The sulfur was …

Animal fatty acid synthase (FAS) is a homodimer protein which synthesizes long-chain fatty
acids and is rich in liver, brain, breast, and lung. However, the precise cellular localization of …

The role of CO 2 in the dehydrogenation of ethane over Ga 2 O 3 -loaded catalysts was
examined. Ga 2 O 3 /TiO 2 catalyst was found to be the most effective for the dehydrogenation of …
