Open AccessHelicobacter pylori VacA induces apoptosis by accumulation of connexin 43 in autophagic vesicles via a Rac1/ERK-dependent pathway
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) produces vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA), a potent protein toxin, which is associated with gastric inflammation and ulceration. Recent studies demonstrated that connexins (Cxs), which...

Effects of the Heat-Treatment Conditions on Microstructures of YbBa2Cu3O7-δ Superconducting Films Formed by the Dip**-Pyrolysis Process
YbBa2Cu3O7-δ(Yb123) films were formed on SrTiO3(STO)(001) and LaAlO3(LAO)(001) substrates by the dip**-pyrolysis process. Using transmission electron microscopy, we investigated effects of the heat-treatment co...

Atomic structure and dopant segregation of [0001] tilt grain boundaries in ZnO bicrystals
Physical properties of ceramics are often changed by presence of grain boundaries (GBs). One possible cause of the change is the grain boundary (GB) itself, because the GB atomic structure is different from th...
