Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) has revolutionized the study of gene
function, particularly in non-model insects. However, in Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) …

Bacterial adhesion is the initial step in colonization and biofilm formation. Biofilms can, on
the one hand, be detrimental to both human life and industrial processes, for example …

Wnt5a is a representative ligand that activates the β‐catenin‐independent pathways.
Because the β‐catenin‐independent pathway includes multiple signalling cascades in …

We present a measurement of the standard model CP violation parameter sin 2 φ 1 based
on a 29.1 fb− 1 data sample collected at the ϒ (4 S) resonance with the Belle detector at the …

Background—Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived plasma protein that accumulates in the
injured artery and has potential antiatherogenic properties. This study was designed to …

Purpose Programmed death-1 (PD-1), a coinhibitory immune signal receptor expressed in T
cells, binds to PD-1 ligand and regulates antitumor immunity. Nivolumab is an anti–PD-1 …

The new concept 3-way catalysts for a lean-burn engine have been developed, and their
NOx purification mechanisms have been studied. The catalysts consist of precious metals …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been thought to be largely a T-cell-mediated disease. To
evaluate the role of T-cell-independent pathways in RA, we examined the interaction …

We report the observation of prompt J/ψ via double cc production from the e+ e− continuum.
In this process one cc pair fragments into a J/ψ meson while the remaining pair either …
