Open AccessLarge current modulation and tunneling magnetoresistance change by a side-gate electric field in a GaMnAs-based vertical spin metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor
A vertical spin metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (spin MOSFET) is a promising low-power device for the post scaling era. Here, using a ferromagnetic-semiconductor GaMnAs-based vertical spin MO...

Open AccessCorrelation of the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction with Heisenberg exchange and orbital asphericity
Chiral spin textures of a ferromagnetic layer in contact to a heavy non-magnetic metal, such as Néel-type domain walls and skyrmions, have been studied intensively because of their potential for future nanomag...

Open AccessInduced perpendicular magnetization in a Cu layer inserted between Co and Pt layers revealed by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism
We used x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism to investigate the effects of inserting Cu into Co/Pt interfaces, and found that a 0.4-nm-thick inserted Cu layer showed perpendicula...

Two-barrier stability that allows low-power operation in current-induced domain-wall motion
Energy barriers in magnetization reversal dynamics have long been of interest because the barrier height determines the thermal stability of devices as well as the threshold force triggering their dynamics. Es...

Microglial activation involved in morphine tolerance is not mediated by toll-like receptor 4
Morphine is a powerful analgesic but its effect is often diminished owing to the development of tolerance. It has been suggested that morphine activates microglia through its action on the toll-like receptor 4...

Postoperative continuous intravenous infusion of fentanyl is associated with the development of orthostatic intolerance and delayed ambulation in patients after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery
Early ambulation is essential for rapid functional recovery after surgery; however, orthostatic intolerance may delay recovery and cause syncope, leading to potential serious complications such as falls. Opioi...

The Shigella flexneri effector OspI deamidates UBC13 to dampen the inflammatory response
Shigella flexneri translocates several virulence factors into host cells during infection; one of these proteins, OspI, is a glutamine deamidase that specifically modifies UBC13, a protein involved in immune sign...

Involvement of the κ-opioid receptor in nitrous oxide-induced analgesia in mice
Nitrous oxide (N2O)-induced analgesia is thought to be mediated by endogenous opioids. We previously showed that the μ-opioid receptor is not required for the analgesic action of N2O in mice using a gene knockout...

Bacteria hijack integrin-linked kinase to stabilize focal adhesions and block cell detachment
The intestinal epithelium undergoes rapid self-renewal and exfoliation from the basement membrane upon bacterial infection, a process that acts as a defence system against the pathogen. Despite this, many ente...

Nociceptin receptor antagonist JTC-801 inhibits nitrous oxide-induced analgesia in mice
The mechanism of the analgesic effect of nitrous oxide (N2O) has not been completely clarified. Although we have reported that the analgesic effect of N2O was significantly decreased in nociceptin-orphanin FQ (N/...
