Open AccessUniversal Conductance Fluctuation in Two-Dimensional Topological Insulators
Despite considerable interest in two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators (TIs), a fundamental question still remains open how mesoscopic conductance fluctuations in 2D TIs are affected by spin-orbit intera...

Bandgap opening in few-layered monoclinic MoTe2
Monoclinic transition metal dichalcogenides offer the possibility of topological quantum devices, but they are difficult to realize. One route may be through switching from the common hexagonal phase, for whic...

Open AccessMicroRNA-149 targets GIT1 to suppress integrin signaling and breast cancer metastasis
Metastasis is the predominant cause of death in breast cancer patients. Several lines of evidence have shown that microRNAs (miRs) can have an important role in cancer metastasis. Using isogenic pairs of low a...

Autocrine/paracrine mechanism of interleukin-17B receptor promotes breast tumorigenesis through NF-κB-mediated antiapoptotic pathway
Gain of function of membrane receptor was a good strategy exploited by cancer cells to benefit own growth and survival. Overexpression of HER2 has been found to serve as a target for develo** trastuzumab to ...

miR-495 is upregulated by E12/E47 in breast cancer stem cells, and promotes oncogenesis and hypoxia resistance via downregulation of E-cadherin and REDD1
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in tumorigenecity by regulating specific oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and their roles in breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are becoming apparent. Distinct from the CD44+/CD...

Open AccessCumulative survival in early-onset unilateral and bilateral breast cancer: an analysis of 1907 Taiwanese women
As the epidemiological pattern of breast cancer in modernising Asian countries differs greatly from that in Western countries, it is worthwhile to investigate the long-term prognoses of unilateral and bilatera...

Morphology and optical properties of zinc oxide thin films grown on Si (100) by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition
Undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited on Si (100) substrates by atmospheric pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (AP-MOCVD). After a nucleation layer of ZnO about 500 Å was deposited, ...

Molecular signatures of metaplastic carcinoma of the breast by large-scale transcriptional profiling: identification of genes potentially related to epithelial–mesenchymal transition
Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast (MCB) is a poorly understood subtype of breast cancer. It is generally characterized by the coexistence of ductal carcinomatous and transdifferentiated sarcomatous component...

Comparison of the effect between leukotriene B4 and leukotriene B5 on the induction of interleukin 1-like activity and calcium mobilizing activity in human blood monocytes
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), one of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) products of arachidonic acid, was reported to be more potent than leukotriene B5 (LTB5), one of 5-LO products of eicosapentaenoic acid, in the activation of neu...
