Although several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the activity of thalidomide,
lenalidomide and pomalidomide in multiple myeloma (MM), including demonstrable anti-…

Cotton fibers (cotton lint) are single-celled trichomes that differentiate from the ovule epidermis.
Unidirectional and fast-growing cells generally expand at the dome-shaped apical zone (…

Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

We have sequenced and assembled a draft genome of G. raimondii, whose progenitor is
the putative contributor of the D subgenome to the economically important fiber-producing …

Activation of NF-κB has been noted in many tumor types, however only rarely has this been
linked to an underlying genetic mutation. An integrated analysis of high-density …

The complex allotetraploid nature of the cotton genome (AADD; 2n = 52) makes genetic,
genomic and functional analyses extremely challenging. Here we sequenced and assembled …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) produces the most widely used natural fibers, yet the
regulatory mechanisms governing fiber cell elongation are not well understood. Through …

The precise molecular mechanism of action and targets through which thalidomide and
related immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) exert their antitumor effects remains unclear. We …

There has been a number of investigations for the correlation between the Asia monsoon and
the North Atlantic climate for the last glacial; however, little research has been done for the …

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short pulses observed in the radio band from cosmological
distances 1 . One class of models invokes soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), or magnetars, as …
