Open AccessExposure to 1800 MHz radiofrequency radiation impairs neurite outgrowth of embryonic neural stem cells
A radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) of 1800 MHz is widely used in mobile communications. However, the effects of RF-EMFs on cell biology are unclear. Embryonic neural stem cells (eNSCs) play a crit...

Open AccessNature of strong hole pairing in doped Mott antiferromagnets
Cooper pairing instability in a Fermi liquid is well understood by the BCS theory, but pairing mechanism for doped Mott insulators still remains elusive. Previously it has been shown by density matrix renormal...

Open AccessTerahertz in-line digital holography of human hepatocellular carcinoma tissue
Terahertz waves provide a better contrast in imaging soft biomedical tissues than X-rays and unlike X-rays, they cause no ionisation damage, making them a good option for biomedical imaging. Terahertz absorpti...

Open AccessBlack tea protects against hypertension-associated endothelial dysfunction through alleviation of endoplasmic reticulum stress
Hypertensive patients have been found to be associated with elevated levels of homocysteine, known as hyperhomocysteinemia. Homocysteine (Hcy) can induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in endothelial cells....
