Quantum key distribution (QKD) 1 , 2 has the potential to enable secure communication and
information transfer 3 . In the laboratory, the feasibility of point-to-point QKD is evident from …

Hydrogels have been developed to respond to a wide variety of stimuli 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , but
their use in macroscopic systems has been hindered by slow response times (diffusion …

CD4 + helper T cells acquire effector phenotypes that promote specialized inflammatory
responses. We show that the ETS-family transcription factor PU.1 was required for the …

The mammary gland is composed of multiple types of epithelial cells, which are generated
by mammary stem cells (MaSCs) residing at the top of the hierarchy 1 , 2 . However, the …

Transcriptional regulatory networks direct the development of specialized cell types. The
transcription factors signal tranducer and activator of transcription 4 (Stat4) and T-bet are …

Due to the passive confinement provided by the steel jacket for the concrete core, the
behaviour of the concrete in a concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column is always very …

The Animal Transcription Factor DataBase (AnimalTFDB) is a resource aimed to provide the
most comprehensive and accurate information for animal transcription factors (TFs) and …

IL-17-secreting CD4+ T cells are critically involved in inflammatory immune responses.
Development of these cells is promoted in vivo and in vitro by IL-23 or TGFβ1 plus IL-6. Despite …

Survival of naive T cells is dependent upon IL-7, which is present in vivo in limiting amounts
with the result that naive T cells must compete for IL-7-mediated survival signals. It would …

NKX2-5 is expressed in the heart throughout life. We targeted eGFP sequences to the NKX2-5
locus of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs); NKX2-5 eGFP/w hESCs facilitate …
