Exosomes are nano-sized biovesicles released into surrounding body fluids upon fusion of
multivesicular bodies and the plasma membrane. They were shown to carry cell-specific …

ContextLittle is known regarding the extent to which patient-reported health status, including
symptom burden, physical limitation, and quality of life, is determined by psychosocial vs …

We report a new nonwrapping approach to noncovalent engineering of carbon nanotube
surfaces by short, rigid functional conjugated polymers, poly(aryleneethynylene)s. Our …

Homogeneous carbon nanotube/polymer composites were fabricated using noncovalently
functionalized, soluble single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). These composites showed …

The Toll–interleukin 1 receptor (TIR) superfamily, defined by the presence of an intracellular
TIR domain, initiates innate immunity through activation of the transcription factor NF-κB, …

An energy trilemma addresses three often conflicting challenges: energy security, equitable
access to energy, and environmental sustainability. Maintaining this balance in the context …

Human accomplishments have increased the complexity and interconnectedness of
environmental threats, resulting in widespread effects on people, ecosystems, and economies …

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are primary sensors of both innate and adaptive immune systems
and play a pivotal role in response against structurally conserved components of pathogens. …

Acid deposition is formed from SO2 and NOx emitted to the atmosphere, largely because of
fossil-fuel combustion. The most important sources are energy production, especially coal-…

The present study estimated in vitro antioxidant activities of 68 common Chinese herbals
both for medical and food uses, using Folin–Ciocalteu, ferric-reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP…
