Natural Killer (NK) cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells are two types of immune cells that can
kill target cells through similar cytotoxic mechanisms. With the remarkable success of …

Neurotoxicity is a term used to describe neurophysiological changes caused by exposure to
toxic agents. Such exposure can result in neurocognitive symptoms and/or psychiatric …

Due to concerns regarding the greenhouse effect and limitations on carbon dioxide
emissions, the possibility of a next-generation combustion mode for internal combustion …

Groundbreaking work demonstrated that ectopic expression of four transcription factors,
Oct4, Klf4, Sox2, and c-Myc, could reprogram murine somatic cells to induced pluripotent …

Reprogramming of somatic cells is a valuable tool to understand the mechanisms of
regaining pluripotency and further opens up the possibility of generating patient-specific …

Emerging evidence suggests that transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is an important
mediator of diabetic nephropathy. We showed previously that short-term treatment with a …

Abstract The BioMart Community Portal (www. biomart. org) is a community-driven effort to
provide a unified interface to biomedical databases that are distributed worldwide. The …

It has been hypothesized that insulin resistance is mediated by a deficiency of mitochondria
in skeletal muscle. In keeping with this hypothesis, high-fat diets that cause insulin …

Recent studies have shown that defined sets of transcription factors can directly reprogram
differentiated somatic cells to a different differentiated cell type without passing through a …
