The cell-surface molecule Cd9, a member of the transmembrane-4 superfamily 1, interacts
with the integrin family 2 and other membrane proteins 3, 4, 5, and is postulated to participate …

Both anabolism and catabolism of the amino acids released by starvation-induced autophagy
are essential for cell survival, but their actual metabolic contributions in adult animals are …

Osteopontin (OPN) is a soluble secreted phosphoprotein that binds with high affinity to several
integrins and it has been found at the site of atherosclerotic lesions. However, the role of …

The ubiquitin fold modifier 1 (Ufm1) is the most recently discovered ubiquitin-like modifier
whose conjugation (ufmylation) system is conserved in multicellular organisms. Ufm1 is known …

A useful method for molecular iodine catalyzed oxidative C–C bond formation between
tertiary amines and a carbon nucleophile using hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant is …

We report the visible‐light‐induced trifluoromethylation of arenes and heteroarenes using
sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate catalyzed by anthraquinone‐2‐carboxylic acid. This reaction …

Interleukin (IL)-11 is a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines and is involved in multiple
cellular responses, including tumor development. However, the origin and functions of IL-11-…

Reported here for the first time are the developments of an efficient method for oxidative
cleavage of carbon−carbon double bonds yielding carbonyl compounds by using aryl-λ 3 -…

To study the effects of IL-1α in arthritis, we generated human IL-1α (hIL-1α). Transgenic
mice expressed hIL-1α mRNA in various organs, had high serum levels of hIL-1α, and …

Background— Osteopontin (OPN) is a noncollagenous adhesion protein found at the site of
atherosclerotic lesions. However, it has not yet been clarified whether or not OPN can …
