Receptor-like proteins (RLPs) are involved in plant development and disease resistance.Only some of the RLPs in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) have been functionally characterized though 176 genes encoding RLPs, which have been identified in the tomato genome.To further understand the role of RLPs in tomato, we performed genome-guided classificat
Controlled growth mechanism of ring-like In(Ga)As quantum Dot pairs on GaAs ring-ring-disk nanostructures templates
The ring-like In(Ga)As quantum dot pairs (QDPs) is prepared on GaAs ring-ring-disk (R-R-D) nanostructures template by droplet epitaxy (DE) method.The surface morphology of GaAs samples are characterized with Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), and studying local controlled growth mechanism of quantum dots (QDs) on GaAs R-R-D nanostructures.STM ima
Biomimetics with Trade-Offs
Our knowledge of physics and chemistry is relatively well defined.Results from that knowledge are predictable as, largely, are those of their technical offspring such as electrical, chemical, mechanical and civil engineering.By contrast, biology is relatively unconstrained and unpredictable.A factor common to all areas is the trade-off, which provi
Calreticulin Fragment 39-272 Promotes B16 Melanoma Malignancy through Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells In Vivo
Calreticulin (CRT), a multifunctional Ca2+-binding glycoprotein mainly located in the endoplasmic reticulum, is a tumor-associated antigen that has been shown to play protective roles in angiogenesis suppression and anti-tumor immunity.We previously reported that Pop Up Timer soluble CRT (sCRT) was functionally similar to heat shock proteins or dam
