Nanoparticle drug delivery to the tumor is impacted by multiple factors: nanoparticles must
evade clearance by renal filtration and the reticuloendothelial system, extravasate through the …

Unlike Y123 which forms only a stoichiometric compound, the light rare earth elements (LREs:
La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) form a solid solution. The presence of such solid solution caused a …

Phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2 ) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of membrane
glycerophospholipids to liberate arachidonic acid (AA), a precursor of eicosanoids including …

KamLAND has measured the flux of ν e’s from distant nuclear reactors. We find fewer ν e
events than expected from standard assumptions about ν e propagation at the 99.95% CL In a …

Fat tissue produces a variety of secreted proteins (adipocytokines) with important roles in
metabolism. We isolated a newly identified adipocytokine, visfatin, that is highly enriched in the …

Embryonic stem (ES) cells derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of blastocysts grow
infinitely while maintaining pluripotency. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) can maintain self-renewal …

… Spontaneous magnetic moment per Co atom was deduced from the saturated magnetization
(M) value to be 0.32 μ B . From the M-temperature (T) curve in a field of 20 mT applied …

… , we used DACHPt/m with diameters of 30 and 70 nm because of the critical differences
in antitumour activity, tumour accumulation and microdistribution of DACHPt/m in the BxPC3 …

Interleukind(11-6) signal is transduced through a membrane glycoprotein, gp130, which
associates with IL-6 receptor (IL-6-R). A cDNA encoding human gp130 has been cloned, …

The molecular mechanism of tissue-specific metastasis in tumors endogenously expressing
members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family is not yet clear. Here we …
