Mitogen stimulation of cytoskeletal changes and c-jun amino-terminal kinases is mediated
by Rac small guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. Vav, a guanosine diphosphate (GDP)–…

Hyperuricemia is associated with hypertension and vascular disease, but whether this represents
a causal relationship or an epiphenomenon remains unknown. We recently reported a …

Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) exerts pathway-specific activity in animal development
and has been linked to several high-risk cancers. Here, we report that LSD1 is an integral …

Thermoelectric materials can convert waste heat into electricity, potentially improving the
efficiency of energy usage in both industry and everyday life. Unfortunately, known good …

Microtubule associated protein tau is a phosphoprotein which potentially has 80 serine/threonine
and 5 tyrosine phosphorylation sites. Normal brain tau contains 2-3 moles of …

A series of 2′,3′,4′,6,7-substituted 2-aryl quinazolinones were synthesized and
evaluated for biological activity. Among them, 17 displayed significant growth inhibitory action …

NF-κB is a central transcriptional factor and a pleiotropic regulator of many genes involved
in immunological responses. During the screening of a plant extract library of traditional …

As part of our continuing search for potential anticancer candidates among 2-phenyl-4-quinolones
and 2-phenyl-4-quinazolinones, two series of 6,7,2‘,3‘,4‘,5‘-substituted 2-phenyl-4-…

This study employs a stochastic frontier technique to estimate managerial efficiency levels
in the hotel industry. The only prior efficiency study in this sector employed a linear-…

Humic acid (HA) might benefit plant growth by improving nutrient uptake and hormonal
effects. The effect of HA on growth, macro—and micronutrient contents, and postharvest life of …
