Cilia or flagella of eukaryotes are small micro-hair like structures that are indispensable to single-cell motility and play an important role in mammalian biological processes. Cilia or flagella are composed of nine ...

Shootin1 is a brain-specific cytoplasmic protein involved in neuronal polarity formation and axon outgrowth. It accumulates at the leading edge of axonal growth cones, where it mediates the mechanical coupling between ...

Multipotent neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) can be isolated from many regions of the adult central nervous system (CNS), yet neurogenesis is restricted to the hippocampus and subventricular zone in vivo. Identification ...

Glycogen and glucose are two sugar sources available during the lag phase of E. coli, but the mechanism that regulates their utilization is still unclear.

Adult multipotent neural progenitor cells can differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes in the mammalian central nervous system, but the molecular mechanisms that control their differentiation are not ...

Chiral surface ligands have often been employed to impart optical activity to metal nanoclusters, metal nanoparticles and semiconductor nanocrystals. They are considered to form a chiral structure to a certain degree whereas ...

Recent years have witnessed a rapid development of organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs). The significant improvement in power conversion efficiency is due to not only the discovery of new π-conjugated frameworks, but also ...

Freeze-thaw stress causes various types of cellular damages, survival and/or proliferation defects, and metabolic alterations. However, the mechanisms underlying how cells cope with freeze-thaw stress are poorly understood. ...

A blind speech separation method with low computational complexity is proposed. This method consists of a combination of independent component analysis with frequency band selection, and a frame-wise spectral soft mask ...

We have developed a one-to-many eigenvoice conversion (EVC) system that allows us to convert a single source speaker's voice into an arbitrary target speaker's voice using an eigenvoice Gaussian mixture model (EV-GMM). ...
