Assembly of fibronectin fibrils occurs at the surface of substrate-attached cells and is mediated by the first to the fifth type I modules in the N-terminal 70 kDa portion of the molecule. The first type III module (III1) of fibronectin, not present in the 70 kDa portion, contains a conformation-dependent binding site for the 70 kDa N-terminal region of fibronectin, suggesting that the III1 mod...

In plant mitochondria, gene expression of translatable mRNAs is a complex process with two critical steps, RNA editing and splicing. We studied the role of RNA editing on non-coding regions of the mat-r-nad1e-nad5c transcript from wheat mitochondria. This RNA contains two trans-introns, 3'-nad1-I4 and 3'-nad5-I2, involved in different trans-splicing events, ensuring the association of nad1d-nad...

Background—Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors have been shown to reduce colorectal adenomas but have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Methods and Results—The Adenoma Prevention With Celecoxib (APC) trial studied celecoxib 200 mg twice daily and 400 mg twice daily and the Prevention of Spontaneous Adenomatous Polyps (PreSAP) trial used 400 mg once daily to test the efficacy a...

We report fabrication of large area Ag nanowire (NW) film coated using a continuous roll-to-roll (RTR) slot die coater as a viable alternative to conventional ITO electrodes for cost-effective and large-area flexible touch screen panels (TSPs). By controlling the flow rate of shear-thinning Ag NW ink in the slot die, we fabricated Ag NW percolating network films with different sheet resistances...

A Magyar Országgyűlés 2019. december 11-én elfogadott határozata a költő, hadvezér és had tudós Zrínyi Miklós (1620–1664) születésének 400. évfordulója alkalmából 2020-as esztendőt Emlékévvé nyilvánította. COVID-19 koronavírus járvány miatti vészhelyzet tervezett rendezvények megemlékezések megtartásának java részét nem, vagy csak 2021-re áthúzódva tette lehetővé, az évforduló mégsem múlt el ny...

Musk xylene (MX), musk ketone (MK) and musk moskene (MM) are synthetic nitro-containing fragrances. Due to their inherent lipophilicity and environmental persistence, they are frequently detected in environmental samples and especially in aquatic ecosystems. Despite this, the current environmental toxicity database of nitromusks is limited. Although nitromusks have been shown to accumulate in a...
