An alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain, 41M-1, isolated from soil produced multiple xylanases
extracellularly. One of these xylanases was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate …

The retinoic acid-related orphan nuclear receptor γt (RORγt)/RORγ2 is well known as a
master regulator of interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing helper T (Th17) cell development. To …

Osteoclasts and osteoblasts are responsible for strict bone maintenance with a balance
between bone formation and resorption by interacting with each other. Recently, it has been …

The dynamic properties of water confined within nanospaces are of interest given that such
water plays important roles in geological and biological systems. The enthalpy‐relaxation …

Recent studies have revealed the essential role of the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB
(NF‐κB) ligand (RANKL) in osteoclast differentiation and activation. Adenovirus vector could …

Endothelin (ET) is a 21-residue potent vasoconstrictive peptide produced by vascular
endothelial cells and formed from its precursor, big endothelin (big ET), by endothelin-converting …

The specialized role of mouse Gr-1 high monocytes in local inflammatory reactions has
been well documented, but the trafficking and responsiveness of this subset during systemic …

Bone is maintained by two cell types, bone‐forming osteoblasts and bone‐resorbing
osteoclasts. Osteoblasts express two factors, osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of NF‐κB …

Objectives: Ventilator-induced lung injury has substantive impact on mortality of patients with
acute respiratory distress syndrome. Although low tidal volume ventilation has been shown …

The effectiveness of remdesivir on survival in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19),
especially in cases treated in the intensive care unit (ICU), is controversial. We investigated the …
