We have uncovered a novel functional relationship between the hyaluronan receptor CD44,
the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and the multifunctional cytokine TGF-β in the …

Modern herbicides make major contributions to global food production by easily removing
weeds and substituting for destructive soil cultivation. However, persistent herbicide selection …

The cell surface hyaluronan receptor CD44 promotes tumor growth and metastasis by
mechanisms that remain poorly understood. We show here that CD44 associates with a …

When rats forage for randomly dispersed food in a high walled cylinder the firing of their
hippocampal “place” cells exhibits little dependence on the direction faced by the rat. On radial …

HIV-1 deleted for the vif accessory gene encapsidates the cellular cytidine deaminase
APOBEC3G. Upon infection, the encapsidated APOBEC3G induces G→A mutations in the viral …

There has been great interest in developing new nucleic acid and protein detection methods
for both clinical and numerous non-clinical applications. In a long-lasting effort to improve …

Background Anthocyanins have been shown to exert benefits on the lipid profile in many
animal models. Whether these molecules have similar beneficial effects in humans is currently …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are an intriguing new class of metallic materials due to their
unique mechanical behavior. Achieving a detailed understanding of structure–property …

To confirm the relationship between sex and the progression of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19),
and its potential mechanism, among severe patients. For this retrospective study, …

Nanostructured metals are usually strong because the ultrahigh density of internal boundaries
restricts the mean free path of dislocations. Usually, they are also more brittle because of …
