The first research publication describing polyaminated compounds in cancer tissues occurred in 1958 in the Proceedings of the National Acadamy of Japan (1). In those early years, polyaminated molecules and substances were identified in all forms of life – bacteria, fungus, plants, and all types of eukaroytic cells. They were determined to be critical for all types of cellular proliferation, and...

In the nearly 50 years since the description of Williams syndrome by [Williams et al. (1961); Circulation 24:1311-1318], the focus of scientific inquiry has shifted from identification, definition, and description of the syndrome in small series to genotype-phenotype correlation, pathophysiologic investigation in both humans and in animal models, and therapeutic outcomes in large cohorts. Study...

Graphene and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) have been widely studied because of their extraordinary electrical, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties. This paper describes a novel and flexible method to fabricate all-carbon field-effect transistors (FETs). The fabrication process begins with assembling graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on a silicon chip with SiO2 as...

Background—Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-g (PPARg) is activated by fatty acids, eicosanoids, and insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinediones (TZDs). The TZD troglitazone (TRO) inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration in vitro and in postinjury intimal hyperplasia. Methods and Results—Rat and human VSMCs express mRNA and nuclear receptors for PPARg1. Three ...

In this paper we present the results of VLBI observations of six radio galaxies belonging to the 2-Jy sample. The selected objects are 3C17, PKS 0620−52, PKS 0625−35, PKS 1318−43, PKS 1333−33 and 3C317. The first is a high power radio galaxy and the remainder are all low power objects. Our observations were carried out with a set of different arrays and frequencies, and cover a range of resolut...
