Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) functional haplotype is associated with recurrence of affective symptoms
BACKGROUND: Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) polymorphisms play an essential role in dopamine availability in the brain. However, there has been no study investigating whether a functional four-SNP...
A resource of vectors and ES cells for targeted deletion of microRNAs in mice.
The 21-23 nucleotide, single-stranded RNAs classified as microRNAs (miRNA) perform fundamental roles in diverse cellular and developmental processes. In contrast to the situation for protein-coding genes, no public resource of...

The unusual case of plastic deformation and high dislocation densities with the cold sintering of the piezoelectric ceramic K0.5Na0.5NbO3
K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) can be readily densified using the cold sintering process, but despite observing high relative permittivity, the ferroelectric hysteresis is strongly suppressed along with a major suppression in the...

Epoxy-functionalised 4-vinylguaiacol for the synthesis of bio-based, degradable star polymers via a RAFT/ROCOP strategy
An epoxy derivative of a naturally occuring vinylphenolic compound, 4-vinylguaiacol (4VGEP), was used for the synthesis of a well-defined (Mw/Mn = 1.08–1.14), bio-based styrene-type polymer. Block copolymers of 4VGEP with...

Abstract: The phloem transports photosynthetic assimilates and signalling molecules. It mainly consists of sieve elements (SEs), which act as “highways” for transport, and companion cells (CCs), which serve as “gates” to...
Reassessment of the phylogenetic relationships of the late Miocene apes Hispanopithecus and Rudapithecus based on vestibular morphology.
