Open AccessHigh-temperature-required protein A2 as a predictive marker for response to chemotherapy and prognosis in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancers
High-temperature-required protein A2 (HtrA2), a protein relating with apoptosis in a caspases-dependent and non-dependent manner, has been reported to be associated with chemosensitivity in several human cancers.

What Xe Nanocrystals in Al Can Teach us in Materials Science
Noble gases are generally very insoluble in solids. For example, Xe implanted into Al at 300 K forms a fine dispersion of crystalline precipitates and, at large enough fluence, fluid precipitates, both of whic...

ATM-dependent nuclear accumulation of IKK-α plays an important role in the regulation of p73-mediated apoptosis in response to cisplatin
I kappa B kinase (IKK) complex plays an important role in the regulation of signaling pathway that activates nuclear factor–kappa-B (NF-κB). Recently, we reported that cisplatin (CDDP) treatment causes a remarkab...

3-D TEM observation of xenon nano-precipitates in aluminium crystals
It is known that the inert gas, such as xenon (Xe), is not soluble in typical metals and tends to precipitate in the metals. The Xe-precipitates in Al have been observed with TEM in usual modes, such as the br...

NF-κB regulates the stability and activity of p73 by inducing its proteolytic degradation through a ubiquitin-dependent proteasome pathway
Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), which exists as heterodimeric complexes composed of p50 and p65, has been shown to play an important role in cell survival processes. In the present study, we found for the first t...
