The blue phases of cholesteric liquid crystals are liquids that exhibit orientational order
characterized by crystallographic space-group symmetries. We present here a pedagogical …

Glucocorticoids (GCs) have long been accepted as being catabolic in nature, liberating energy
substrates during times of stress to supply the increased metabolic demand of the body. …

OBJECTIVE: In this article, we review the surgical outcomes of 179 patients with acoustic

It has been hypothesized that insulin resistance is mediated by a deficiency of mitochondria
in skeletal muscle. In keeping with this hypothesis, high-fat diets that cause insulin …

Exercise results in rapid increases in expression of the transcription coactivator peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and in mitochondrial biogenesis in …

THE MANAGEMENT OF chordomas and chondrosarcomas involving the cranial base remains
controversial. The options for therapy include biopsy, partial resection, radical resection, …

LIVE-VIRUS vaccines have been well recognized as a cause of severe complications when

It is now generally accepted that activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is involved
in the stimulation of glucose transport by muscle contractions. However, earlier studies …

Cerebral necrosis after radiotherapy for brain tumors is being recognized as a problem more
common than previously estimated. Distinction between this iatrogenic complication and …

Previous studies have shown that raising cytosolic calcium in myotubes induces increases
in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α expression and mitochondrial …
