C-type asteroids 1 are considered to be primitive small Solar System bodies enriched in
water and organics, providing clues to the origin and evolution of the Solar System and the …

We studied degenerative changes in the cervical intervertebral discs of 497 asymptomatic
subjects by MRI and evaluated disc degeneration by loss of signal intensity, posterior and …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play an important role in various kinds of pattern
formation and organogenesis during vertebrate development. In the skeleton, BMPs induce the …

A new approach to the important but difficult task of revealing possible human tumor viruses
has been presented in this article. By systematic testing of already known human viruses for …

A robust and quantitative gaseous hydrogen generation method has been developed in an
effort to achieve efficient H 2 generation derived from H 2 O. The present reaction could be …

We have reported that osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF) expressed on the plasma
membrane of osteoblasts/stromal cells is a ligand for osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF). …

Carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds form the backbone of many important molecules, including
polymers, dyes and pharmaceutical agents. The development of new methods to create these …

The functional anatomy of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) was investigated in
20 fresh cadavers. Dynamic changes in the TFCC during rotation were also examined from …

A redox-economic method for the direct coupling of olefins that uses an inexpensive iron
catalyst and a silane reducing agent is reported. Thus, unactivated olefins can be joined directly …

This Article details the development of the iron-catalyzed conversion of olefins to radicals
and their subsequent use in the construction of C–C bonds. Optimization of a reductive diene …
