Open AccessObservation of perfect diamagnetism and interfacial effect on the electronic structures in infinite layer Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 superconductors
Nickel-based complex oxides have served as a playground for decades in the quest for a copper-oxide analog of the high-temperature superconductivity. They may provide clues towards understanding the mechanism ...

Differential expression of genes BPI, TAP1, SLA-1 and SLA-3 in Escherichia coli F18-resistant and sensitive Meishan post-weaning piglets
The genetic basis and mechanism of sensitivity or resistance to the significant pathogen Escherichia coli F18 is not clear in native Chinese pig breeds and may differ from that in non-native breeds. Our previous ...

Chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics and the growth response of Elaeocarpus glabripetalus to simulated acid rain
Acid rain causes damages to forest ecosystems. Here, we reported that acid rain could promote plant growth. From 2006 to 2009, one-year-old Elaeocarpus glabripetalus seedlings were sprayed with simulated acid rai...

Rejuvenating Bi(d)ology
The BH3-only Bid protein is a critical sentinel of cellular stress in the liver and the hematopoietic system. Bid’s initial ‘claim to fame’ came from its ability—as a caspase-truncated product—to trigger the m...

Apoptosis caused by cathepsins does not require Bid signaling in an in vivo model of progressive myoclonus epilepsy (EPM1)
Apoptosis can be mediated by mechanisms other than the traditional caspase-mediated cleavage cascade. There is growing recognition that alternative proteolytic enzymes such as the lysosomal cathepsin proteases...

Release of cytochrome c and activation of pro-caspase-9 following lysosomal photodamage involves bid cleavage
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) protocols employing lysosomal sensitizers induce apoptosis via a mechanism that causes cytochrome c release prior to loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). The current study wa...

Distribution of trace elements in normal and tumor-bearing mice using the multitracer technique
A multitracer solution obtained from the nuclear reaction of selenium with 25-MeV/nucleon 40Ar ions was orally administered to normal and tumor-bearing Balb/c male mice. After 96 h, the mice were sacrificed and t...

Analysis of parameters and microcomputer control for the electric upsetting process for forging engine valves
Using both theoretical analysis and practical experiment, it is clearly indicated that the electric upsetting process should be divided into two stages: preform upsetting and finish upsetting. The main process...
