Adiponectin is a novel, adipose-specific protein abundantly present in the circulation, and it
has antiatherogenic properties. We analyzed the plasma adiponectin concentrations in age- …

HEPATOCYTE growth factor (HGF) is the most potent mitogen for mature parenchyma!
hepatocytes in primary culture, and seems to be a hepatotrophic factor that acts as a trigger for …

Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major threat to human health around
the world. Previous publications have estimated the effect of AMR on incidence, deaths, …

The discovery of afterglows associated with γ-ray bursts at X-ray 1 , optical 2 and radio 3
wavelengths and the measurement of the redshifts of some of these events 4 , 5 has …

The discovery of the unusual supernova SN1998bw, and its possible association with the γ-ray
burst GRB 980425 1 , 2 , 3 , provide new insights into the explosion mechanism of very …

Estrogen prevents osteoporotic bone loss by attenuating bone resorption; however, the
molecular basis for this is unknown. Here, we report a critical role for the osteoclastic estrogen …

We report the observation of a narrow charmoniumlike state produced in the exclusive decay
process B±→ K±π+ π− J/ψ. This state, which decays into π+ π− J/ψ, has a mass of 3872.0±…

The objectives of the DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO)
are to open a new window of observation for gravitational wave astronomy and to obtain …

We present a measurement of the standard model CP violation parameter sin 2 φ 1 based
on a 29.1 fb− 1 data sample collected at the ϒ (4 S) resonance with the Belle detector at the …

We isolated the human adipose-specific and most abundant gene transcript, apM1 (Maeda,
K., et al.,Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.221, 286–289, 1996). The apM1 gene product …
