CX3CR1, one of the highest expressed genes in microglia in mice and humans, is implicated
in numerous microglial functions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying Cx3cr1 …

The future of improved immunotherapy against cancer depends on an in-depth understanding
of the dynamic interactions between the immune system and tumors. Over the past two …

The zebrafish offers powerful advantages as a model system for examining the growth of
the skull vault and the formation of cranial sutures. The zebrafish is well suited for large–scale …

Efforts to understand the morphogenesis of complex craniofacial structures have largely
focused on the role of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. Along with these bone–creating cells, bone…

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive malignancy of developing lymphocytes.
Despite outstanding overall cure rates, patients with the refractory or relapsed disease …

Whey protein isolate (WPI) and soy protein isolate (SPI) were used as emulsifiers and
structure-modifying agents to produce alginate-based emulsion gel beads. The purpose of this …

In alginate-based emulsion gels containing protein-coated droplets, pH can influence the
gelation mechanism of alginate gels, and the interactions between alginate molecules and …

Multilayer emulsions produced by electrostatic protein-polysaccharide interactions have
received increased interest recently, but the addition sequence of oppositely charged …

Although widespread skeletal dissemination is a critical step in the progression of myeloma,
little is known regarding mechanisms that control metastasis of this cancer. Heparanase-1 (…

Many strategies have been developed to improve stability of plant protein-stabilized
emulsions, such as modifying properties of plant proteins, using plant protein-polysaccharide …
