Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) plays a key role in detecting cytosolic DNA and induces
type I interferon (IFN-I) responses for host defense against pathogens. Although T cells …

Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) regulates cell death and inflammation. Here,
we show that T cell–specific RIPK1 deficiency in mice leads to the premature senescence of …

Effector, but not naïve, T cells are activated by toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) stimulation,
leading to cytokine production and proliferation. We found that the differential response is …

Domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) can live in high densities, although most feline species
are solitary and exclusively territorial animals; it is possible that certain behavioral strategies …

Tumor-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) using polymeric photosensitizers is a promising
anticancer therapeutic strategy. Previously, we developed several polymeric nanoprobes …

Streptomyces griseolus cytochrome P450SU-1 (CYP105A1) was expressed in Escherichia
coli at a level of 1.0μmol/L culture and purified with a specific content of 18.0nmol/mg protein. …

Anesthesia can affect respiratory, circulatory, and endocrine systems but is necessary for
certain experimental procedures such as echocardiography and blood sampling in small …

Tumors arising in an undescended testis are rare in infants. We report a mature teratoma in
an intraabdominal testis of a 2-month-old boy. He presented with a large left-sided …

Metabolomics, which is also referred to as metabonomics, metabolic profiling or metabolic
fingerprinting, is the comprehensive quantitative measurement of endogenous metabolites …

Background Statins are strong inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis and help to prevent
cardiovascular disease. They also exert additional pleiotropic effects that include an anti-…
