Recent reports indicate that copy number variations (CNVs) within the human genome contribute to nucleotide diversity a larger extent than single polymorphisms (SNPs). In addition, contribution of CNVs disease susceptibility may be greater previously expected, although complete understanding phenotypic consequences is incomplete. We have recently reported comprehensive view among 270 HapMap samples using high-density SNP genotyping arrays and BAC array CGH. this report, we describe novel...
Deficiency of osteoprotegerin (OPG), a soluble decoy receptor for activator nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL), in mice induces osteoporosis caused by enhanced bone resorption, but also accelerates formation. We examined whether formation is coupled with resorption OPG-deficient (OPG-/-) using risedronate, an inhibitor resorption. Histomorphometric analysis showed that formation-related parameters (e.g. mineral apposition rate and osteoblast surface/bone surface) OPG-/- sharply decreased...

3-D colloidal amorphous arrays prepared from two different submicron-sized silica particles, exhibit a specific structural color that remains unchanged during the alternation of viewing angle (see figure). The refractive index in photonic material changes identically all directions. This isotropic feature dielectric distribution leads to wavelength-selective light scattering. Detailed facts importance specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed,...

This study was undertaken to clarify the relationship among laser-induced plume ejected from keyhole, melt flows in molten pool, and formation mechanisms of spatters pool during 10 kW laser welding a pure titanium plate. High-speed video camera observation results showed that plumes occurred at intervals about 0.5 ms, maximum ejection velocity reached 250 m/s. Three-dimensional X-ray transmission in-situ weld with tungsten carbide tracers revealed flowed mainly along bottom keyhole tip rear...
SMARCA4 is a subunit of the switch/sucrose non‐fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin‐remodeling complex. An effective treatment for SMARCA4‐deficient non‐small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) has not yet been established. Correlations between response to immune checkpoint inhibitors and SWI/SNF complex have suggested, but little known about efficacy against NSCLC. A 43‐year‐old man underwent left upper lobe resection was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. Two months after surgery, multiple metastases...

Addition of the silicon–boron bond across carbon–carbon triple bonds, i.e. silaboration is most effectively catalysed by a palladium(0)–tert-alkyl isocyanide complex to give (Z)-1-boryl-2-silyl alkenes with high regio- and stereo-selectivity, which are useful for synthesis stereodefined alkenylsilanes.
Abstract Objective Articular chondrocyte senescence is responsible, at least in part, for the increased incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) with age. Recently, it was suggested that caveolin 1, a 21–24‐kd membrane protein, participates premature cellular senescence. Caveolin 1 principal structural component caveolae, vesicular invaginations plasma membrane. This study undertaken to investigate whether catabolic factors oxidative stress and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) induce features articular...
Abstract Peripheral T lymphocytes undergo activation by antigenic stimulation and function in hypoxic areas of inflammation. We demonstrated CD3-positive human cells accumulating inflammatory tissue expression the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), indicating a role hypoxia-mediated signals regulation cell function. Surprisingly, accumulation HIF-1α required not only hypoxia but also TCR/CD3-mediated activation. Moreover, repressed activation-induced death (AICD) TCR/CD3 stimulation,...
Peripheral T cells encounter rapid decrease in oxygen tension because they are activated by Ag recognition and migrate into inflammatory sites or tumors. Activated cells, therefore, thought to have such machineries that enable them adapt hypoxic conditions execute immune regulation situ. We recently shown survival of CD3-engaged human peripheral blood is prolonged under hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) its target gene product adrenomedullin play a critical role for the process. It also...
The exploitation of a new host by parasite may result in host-race formation or speciation. A brood parasitic bird, the common cuckoo, is divided into races, each characterized egg mimicry different species. Microsatellite DNA markers were used to examine cuckoo mating patterns and usage an area where has been recently colonized. Female cuckoos show strong preferences, but individual males mate with females that lay nests hosts. specialization lead evolution sex-linked traits such as...
