A comprehensive review on modal parameter-based damage identification methods for beam-
or plate-type structures is presented, and the damage identification algorithms in terms of …

… (420) The synthesized LbL liposomal formulation ensured a high coloading efficiency of
5.5% w/w DOX/liposome and 3500 siRNA molecules per liposome, and exhibited a faster …

Omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 FAs), DHA and EPA, exert anti-inflammatory effects, but the
mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that the G protein-coupled receptor 120 (…

Intelligent 2D theranostic nanomaterials are successfully designed based on pH‐/H 2 O 2 ‐responsive
MnO 2 nanosheets anchored with upconversion nanoprobes. They react with …

Cucumber is an economically important crop as well as a model system for sex determination
studies and plant vascular biology. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Cucumis …

We report the annotation and analysis of the draft genome sequence of Brassica rapa accession

Using next-generation sequencing technology alone, we have successfully generated and
assembled a draft sequence of the giant panda genome. The assembled contigs (2.25 …

DOMINANT alleles at the agouti locus (A) cause an obesity syndrome in the mouse, as a
consequence of ectopic expression of the agouti peptide 1–6 . This peptide, normally only …

Mice deficient in BACE1 (beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1) are healthy, fertile and appear
normal in gross anatomy, tissue histology, hematology and clinical chemistry. BACE1−/− mice …
