Composite truss with hollow structural section (HSS) members is deemed as the structure
applicable to large-span and heavily-loaded bridges. To promote the application of composite …

As the primary site for the biotransformation of drugs, the liver is the most focused on organ
type in pharmaceutical research. However, despite being widely used in pharmaceutical …

10.7554/eLife.09351.001 Microtubules (MTs) and actin filaments (F-actin) function
cooperatively to regulate plant cell morphogenesis. However, the mechanisms underlying the …

Microtubule (MT)-dependent MT nucleation by γ-tubulin is required for interphase plant cells
to establish a highly dynamic cortical MT network underneath the plasma membrane, which …

The aim of this study was to determine whether enhanced galanin (GAL) release induced by
exercise would elevate insulin sensitivity and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) concentration …

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fibres consist of single cells that grow in a highly polarized
manner, assumed to be controlled by the cytoskeleton 1 , 2 – 3 . However, how the cytoskeletal …

Tyrosine kinase receptor of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and insulin receptor
(IR) bind to hormones, such as insulin, IGF-1, and IGF-2, and transduces the signals across …

Although galanin has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle of rats,
there is no literature available about the effect of galanin on Glucose Transporter 4 (GLUT4) …

The deflection of the rectangular hollow section (RHS) truss in elastic stage can be divided
into two parts: the deformation of the members and the joints. The effect of joint deformation …

Ion-complementary self-assembling peptides have been studied in many fields for their distinct
advantages, mainly due to their self-assembly properties. However, their shortcomings, …
