Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a cytokine produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells and plays
important roles in the development of inflammatory diseases. Although IL-17F is highly …

Dectin-1 is a C-type lectin involved in the recognition of β-glucans found in the cell walls of
fungi. We generated dectin-1-deficient mice to determine the importance of dectin-1 in the …

… otic vesicles were treated with 2 N HCl/0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS for 30 minutes at room
temperature and rinsed with 0.1 M borate buffer (pH 8.5),followed by incubation in 0.6% H 2 O 2 …

… for 8 h. Interestingly, adult MC2R KO mice exhibited relatively higher glucose levels than those
of WT mice under fed and 8-h … After 36 h of starvation, liver gluconeogenesis becomes the …

… After starving the cells in the serum-free medium for 6 h, we treated them with various
concentrations of GM-CSF. We electrophoresed total cell lysates and blotted them with antibodies …

In a plasma wake wave generated by a high power laser, modulations of the electron
density take the shape of paraboloidal dense shells, moving almost at the speed of light. A …

Laser light reflection by a relativistically moving electron density modulation (flying mirror) in
a wake wave generated in a plasma by a high intensity laser pulse is investigated …

Sexual differentiation of the brain in rodents is achieved by estrogens, which are converted
from androgens in the brain, during the perinatal period. We have identified the progranulin (…

A new method of optical guidance by the implosion phase of a fast Z-pinch discharge in a
gas-filled capillary is proposed. An imploding plasma column has a concave electron-density …

The relationships between plasma or brain concentrations and analgesic effects of both
buprenorphine(BN) and an active metabolite, norbuprenorphine(NBN), were investigated in rats…
