In the further advancements for the third generation (3G) long-term evolution (LTE) system, i.e. the LTE-Advanced system, carrier aggregation (CA) is applied to support wide system bandwidth and… (More)
Tcf/Lef transcription factors and beta-catenin mediate canonical Wnt signalling, which plays remarkably diverse roles in embryonic development, stem cell renewal and cancer progression. To… (More)
The discovery that microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in regulating gene expression via posttranscriptional repression has revealed a previously unsuspected mechanism controlling development and… (More)
Gardenia jasminoides Ellis and Crocus sativus L. are both traditional Chinese medicines that have significant biologic activities on inflammatory processes. But the active ingredients remain unclear.… (More)
The effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the expression of nm23-H1, a metastasis suppressor gene, were studied in a human 7721 hepatocarcinoma cell line. It… (More)
A metallurgical microbial fuel cell (MFC) is an attractive alternative for recovery of copper from copper containing waste streams, as the metal is recovered in its metallic form at the cathode,… (More)
