YAP modifies cancer cell sensitivity to EGFR and survivin inhibitors and is negatively regulated by the non-receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase 14
The Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a transcriptional factor involved in tissue development and tumorigenesis. Although YAP has been recognized as a key element of the Hippo signaling pathway, the mechanisms t...

H-atom relay reactions in real space
Hydrogen bonds are the path through which protons and hydrogen atoms can be transferred between molecules. The relay mechanism, in which H-atom transfer occurs in a sequential fashion along hydrogen bonds, pla...

Microstructure control of low-resistivity tin-doped indium oxide films grown by photoreaction of nanoparticles using a KrF excimer laser at room temperature
A tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) film on a SiO2 substrate was prepared by photo-irradiation of spin-coated nanoparticles using a Xe excimer lamp and a KrF excimer laser. The effects of the excimer lamp and the exci...

Diffusion on the Scaling Limit of the Critical Percolation Cluster in the Diamond Hierarchical Lattice
We construct critical percolation clusters on the diamond hierarchical lattice and show that the scaling limit is a graph directed random recursive fractal. A Dirichlet form can be constructed on the limit set...
