Syndecans, a family of transmembrane proteoglycans, interact with numerous extracellular
ligands through specific sequences in their heparan sulfate chains and have been …

Cancer-associated changes in cellular behavior, such as modified cell-cell contact,
increased migratory potential, and generation of cellular force, all require alteration of the …

BACKGROUND Syndecans are cell surface proteoglycans with a long evolutionary history.
No multicellular animal appears to be without at least one, and in mammals, there are four (1-…

The convincing candidate event of the isotope of the 113th element, 278113, and its daughter
nuclei, 274111 and 270Mt, were observed, for the first time, in the 209Bi þ 70Zn reaction at …

The temperature at the 410-km discontinuity is re-evaluated by comparing the depth of the
discontinuity with the olivine–wadsleyite transition pressure obtained using in situ X-ray …

Neutron-diffraction measurements have revealed a new anomalous thermal lattice expansion
of LaCoO 3 near 500 K that indicates the existence of a second spin-state transition, in …

An isotope of the 113th element, ie, 278 113, was produced in a nuclear reaction with a 70 Zn
beam on a 209 Bi target. We observed six consecutive α-decays following the implantation …

After in vitro maturation and fertilization of porcine oocytes, the fertilized embryos were cultured
under 5 or 20% oxygen (O 2 ) for 7 days. In embryos cultured under 5% O 2 versus 20% …

In 2003–2004, we performed an experiment to synthesize element 113 in the 209Bi þ 70Zn
reaction at the linear accelerator facility (RILAC) of The Institute of Physical and Chemical …

The homologous mammalian rho kinases (ROCK I and II) are assumed to be functionally
redundant, based largely on kinase construct overexpression. As downstream effectors of Rho …
