Nitrogen-containing compounds, such as amines, enamines, and imines, are valuable and
commercially important bulk chemicals, specialty chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. 1 Among …

The configuration interaction (CI) method is a general procedure to compute approximate
solutions to the electronic Schrödinger equation. The wave function is written as a linear …

Despite expensive life-sustaining interventions delivered in the ICU, mortality and morbidity
in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) remain unacceptably high. Extracorporeal …

Purpose To compare the efficacy and toxicity of pemetrexed versus docetaxel in patients
with advanced non—small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously treated with chemotherapy. …

Identifying the signals that regulate stem cell differentiation is fundamental to understanding
cellular diversity in the brain. In this paper we identify factors that act in an instructive fashion …

Recently targeted disruption of Omi/HtrA2 has been found to cause neurodegeneration and
a parkinsonian phenotype in mice. Using a candidate gene approach, we performed a …

β-Catenin is an essential component of the canonical Wnt signaling system that controls
decisive steps in development. We employed here two conditional β-catenin mutant alleles to …

Purpose The evolution of the epidemiology and mortality of extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO) remains unclear. The present study investigates the evolving epidemiology …

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transduce signals from extracellular transmitters to the
inside of the cell by activating G proteins. Mutation and overexpression of these receptors …

CpG motifs within phosphorothioate (PS)-modified DNA drive Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)
activation, but the rules governing recognition of natural phosphodiester (PD) DNA are less …
