Aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) as
a bioplastics monomer is efficiently promoted by a simple system based on a nonprecious-…

The membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of a cell forms contacts directly with
mitochondria whereby the contact is referred to as the mitochondrion-associated ER membrane or …

A simple non‐precious‐metal catalyst system based on costeffective and ubiquitously available
MnO 2 , NaHCO 3 , and molecular oxygen was used to convert 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (…

In the male germline in mammals, chromatoid bodies, a specialized assembly of cytoplasmic
ribonucleoprotein (RNP), are structurally evident during meiosis and haploidgenesis, but …

Exercise is often said to increase the generation of reactive oxygen species that are potentially
harmful. On the other hand, regular exercise has various health benefits even late in life. …

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are gonad-specific small RNAs that provide defense against
transposable genetic elements called transposons. Our knowledge of piRNA biogenesis is …

Objective. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the axial
and peripheral joints and ligamentous attachments. Gut immunity is thought to be involved in …

The pursuit of a high surface area while maintaining high catalytic performance remains a
challenge due to a trade-off relationship between these two features in some cases. In this …

σ-1 Receptors are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones that are implicated in the
neuroplasticity associated with psychostimulant abuse. We immunocytochemically examined the …

Mesoporous β-MnO 2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a template-free low-temperature
crystallization of Mn 4+ precursors (low-crystallinity layer-type Mn 4+ oxide, c-distorted H + -…
