The Rate of Underascertainment of Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Infection: Estimation Using Japanese Passengers Data on Evacuation Flights
From 29 to 31 January 2020, a total of 565 Japanese citizens were evacuated from Wuhan, China on three chartered flights. All passengers were screened upon arrival in Japan for ...
Genomic characterization and infectivity of a novel SARS-like coronavirus in Chinese bats
SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the causative agent of the large SARS outbreak in 2003, originated in bats. Many SARS-like coronaviruses (SL-CoVs) have been detected in bats, parti...
RnaViz 2: an improved representation of RNA secondary structure
Abstract Summary: RnaViz has been developed to easily create nice, publication quality drawings of RNA secondary structure. RnaViz 2 supports CT, DCSE, and RNAML input formats a...
Systemic Overexpression of BCL-2 in the Hematopoietic System Protects Transgenic Mice From the Consequences of Lethal Irradiation
Abstract A new transgenic mouse has been generated in which the proto-oncogene BCL-2 is ubiquitously overexpressed. H2K-BCL-2 transgenic mice overexpress BCL-2 in all cells of t...
bcl-2 inhibits apoptosis of neutrophils but not their engulfment by macrophages.
Neutrophils, the most common inflammatory leukocytes, have the most limited life span of all blood cells. After they undergo apoptosis, they are recognized and engulfed by macro...
The Isotopic Constitution of Strontium, Barium, Bismuth, Thallium and Mercury
A mass-spectrographic study of the isotopic constitution of Sr, Ba, Bi, and Tl has been made. Although the sensitivity and resolving power of the apparatus were sufficient to de...
Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Bilateral Lung Volume Reduction Surgery to Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Several uncontrolled studies report improvement in lung function, gas exchange, and exercise capacity after bilateral lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS). We recruited 200 pati...
β-catenin signalling modulates proliferative potential of human epidermal keratinocytes independently of intercellular adhesion
ABSTRACT We found that cultured human keratinocytes with high proliferative potential, the putative epidermal stem cells, expressed a higher level of noncadherin-associated β- c...
Developments and directions in speech recognition and understanding, Part 1 [DSP Education]
To advance research, it is important to identify promising future research directions, especially those that have not been adequately pursued or funded in the past. The working ...
Hematopoietic Stem Cells Need Two Signals to Prevent Apoptosis; Bcl-2 Can Provide One of These, Kitl/C-KIT Signaling the Other
Growth factors can cause cells to proliferate, differentiate, survive, or die. Distinguishing between these responses is difficult in multicellular, multiparameter systems. Yet ...
