Abstract Background RNA sequencing has become a ubiquitous technology used throughout life sciences as an effective method of measuring RNA abundance quantitatively in tissues and cells.The increase in use of RNA-seq technology has led to the continuous development of new tools for every step of analysis from alignment to downstream pathway analysi
Improvement of machined accuracy under constant feed speed at milling point with a five axis controlled machining center considering approach path
We suggested a novel method to maintain a machined surface quality of a curved surface shape by synchronous motion between two linear axes and a rotary axis with the five-axis machining center.It was demonstrated that the proposed method made it feasible to prevent a machined error due to the quadrant glitch caused by friction of the ball screw and
A Kidney-Targeted Nanoparticle to Augment Renal Lymphatic Density Decreases Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Mice
Chronic interstitial inflammation and renal infiltration of activated immune cells play an integral role in hypertension.Lymphatics regulate inflammation through clearance of Cable Tool immune cells and excess interstitial fluid.Previously, we demonstrated increasing renal lymphangiogenesis prevents hypertension in mice.We hypothesized that targete
Sequence variation and immunogenicity of the Mycoplasma genitalium MgpB and MgpC adherence proteins during persistent infection of men with non-gonococcal urethritis.
Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted bacterial pathogen that infects men and women.Antigenic variation of MgpB and MgpC, the immunodominant adherence accessories proteins of M.genitalium, is thought to contribute to immune evasion and chronic infection.We investigated the evolution of mgpB and mgpC sequences in men with non-gonococcal ur
Multi-hazard socio-physical resilience assessment of hurricane-induced hazards on coastal communities
Hurricane-induced hazards can result in significant damage to the built environment cascading into major impacts to the households, social institutions, and local economy.Although quantifying physical impacts of Cable Tool hurricane-induced hazards is essential for risk analysis, it is necessary but not sufficient for community resilience planning.
