Glycolysis is linked to the rapid response of memory CD8+ T cells, but the molecular and subcellular structural elements enabling enhanced glucose metabolism in nascent activated memory CD8+ T cells are unknown. We found that...
Geographic variation in fracture risk may be due to divergent profiles of dietary, lifestyle, and other risk factors between populations. We investigated differences in fracture rates between two older-population cohorts: the...
Quorum sensing (QS) plays a central role in virulence induction in the commensal pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus. This bacterium secretes an auto-inducer peptide (AIP), a small, cyclic peptide containing a thiolactone linkage as...
An evocation of the milieu of the original (London) Film Society, and an account of its famous screening of Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin in November 1929 as the culmination of four years of attempts to persuade its Soviet...
Woods Cree has five pre-aspirated consonants which occur in coda position. While the coronal segments, ht and Jus, show little evidence of change, there is substantial evidence of weakening amongst the other three pre-aspirated...
A rotational version of the fluid-mechanical sewing machine (FMSM) is investigated experimentally. A thin thread of silicon oil was dispensed at a constant flow rate Q from a height H and fell on a table rotating at an...
Inflammation is a major contributor to tubular epithelium injury in kidney disorders, and the involvement of blood platelets in driving inflammation is increasingly stressed. CD154, the ligand of CD40, is one of the mediators...
Background: Stomatal guard cells monitor and respond to environmental and endogenous signals such that the stomatal aperture is continually optimised for water use efficiency. A key signalling molecule produced in guard...

Empathy is the ability to understand and share other people's emotions. Researchers have debated whether Westerners and Asians differ in their self-report empathy. This study aimed to replicate a previously reported culture-sex...
AbstractTwo-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (2D TMD) crystals are versatile platforms for realizing emergent optoelectronic devices. However, the ability to produce large-area 2D TMDs...
AbstractVolcanic air pollution from both explosive and effusive activity can affect large populations as far as thousands of kilometers away from the source, for days to decades or even...
