ITGA5 as a Dual Regulator of Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition and Epithelial Cell Anoikis Resistance: Functional Validation and Drug Prediction

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Proteomics and functional validation reveal ITGA5 as a dual promoter of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition and anoikis resistance in human bronchial epithelium: targeting ITGA5 represents a novel therapeutic strategy for asthma airway remodelling. ABSTRACT Airway remodelling is a major contributor to persistent airflow limitation and irreversible lung ...

Fitting a Logarithmic Spiral to Empirical Data with Displaced Origin" Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=897863

, 2006
Introduction: Nature produces amazingly varied geometrical patterns (Gielis, 2003). In particular, logarithmic spirals are abundantly observed in nature. Gastropods/cephalopods (such as nautilus, cowie, grove snail, thatcher, etc.) in the mollusca phylum

Unraveling the active site cover of coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
During heme biosynthesis in Gram‐positive bacteria, coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the conversion of four‐propionate substrate coproheme to the two propionate product heme b. Its active site is universally covered by a flexible linking loop. This study identifies an important histidine residue, which stabilizes the loop in a ChdC homolog.

Effect of Cigarette Smoking on the Surface Roughness, Color, and Translucency of Zirconia Produced by Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the surface roughness, color stability, and translucency of zirconia produced by additive manufacturing (AM) and subtractive manufacturing (SM) after exposure to cigarette smoking. Materials and Methods A total of 60 disc‐shaped specimens were fabricated from 2 methods: AM (INNI Cera BCM W500/1000) and SM (VITA YZ T).

Pollinator efficiency, rather than bee decline, explains a shift to hummingbird pollination in tropical montane forests

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Hummingbird pollination is a hallmark of American plant diversity and has long been thought to evolve in tropical mountains due to declining bee activity. Using sister species of Costus specialized on bees (C. kuntzei) and hummingbirds (C. wilsonii), we show that this shift is not driven by reduced bee visitation with elevation, but by greater ...
