Antibodies against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the effects of antibodies against other spike protein …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) such as exosomes and microvesicles serve as messengers of
intercellular network, allowing exchange of cellular components between cells. EVs carry …

This paper presents a drowsiness detection model that is capable of sensing the entire range
of stages of drowsiness, from weak to strong. The key assumption underlying our approach …

Many patients with severe COVID-19 suffer from pneumonia and the elucidation of the
mechanisms underlying the development of this severe condition is important. The in vivo function …

The radial and vertical distributions of radiocesium in tree stems were investigated to
understand radiocesium transfer to trees at an early stage of massive contamination from the …

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaeCdc7p/Dbf4p protein kinase complex was purified to
near homogeneity from insect cells. The complex efficiently phosphorylated yeast Mcm2p and …

mRNA-based vaccines provide effective protection against most common SARS-CoV-2
variants. However, identifying likely breakthrough variants is critical for future vaccine …

Specific MHC class II alleles are strongly associated with susceptibility to various autoimmune
diseases. Although the primary function of MHC class II molecules is to present peptides …

The Cdc7–Dbf4 complex is a conserved serine/threonine protein kinase essential for the
initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication. Although an mcm5–bob1 mutation bypasses lethality …

In enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, Shiga toxin is produced by lysogenic prophages. We
have isolated the prophage VT2-Sa that is responsible for production of Shiga toxin type 2 …
