Purpose: The programmed death-1 ligand/programmed death-1 (PD-L/PD-1) pathway has
been recently suggested to play a pivotal role in the immune evasion of tumors from host …

The cellular and molecular events regulating the induction and tissue-specific differentiation
of endoderm are central to our understanding of the development and function of many …

A new method is proposed to subtract the count of scattered photons from that acquired with
a photopeak window at each pixel in each planar image of single-photon emission …

The hematopoietic and endothelial lineages derive from mesoderm and are thought to
develop through the maturation of a common progenitor, the hemangioblast. To investigate the …

Light interacting with nanostructured metals excites the collective charge density fluctuations
known as surface plasmons (SP). Through excitation of the localized SP eigenmodes …

When differentiated in the presence of activin A in serum-free conditions, mouse embryonic
stem cells efficiently generate an endoderm progenitor population defined by the …

Phase relations of the olivine‐wadsleyite transition in the system (Mg,Fe) 2 SiO 4 have been
determined at 1600 and 1900 K using the quench method in a Kawai‐type high‐pressure …

The sentinel node concept has been validated in the fields of breast cancer and malignant
melanoma. % To date, application of the sentinel lymphadenectomy is considered to be one …

A movie of the dispersive and dissipative propagation of surface plasmon polariton (SPP)
wave packets at a silver/vacuum interface is recorded by the interferometric time-resolved …

Chronic hypoxia accelerates renal fibrosis. The chief mediator of the hypoxic response is
hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and its oxygen-sensitive component HIF-1α. HIF-1 regulates …
