Reversibly thermosecreting and convertible lubricative oil-in-water mixtures using multiple hydrogen bonding interactions

Abstract Achieving homogeneous oil and water mixing requires thorough droplet dispersions of both liquids.An additional component, such as a surfactant, particle, solvent or ion is normally required to stabilize the small liquid droplets by providing sufficiently low interfacial tensions or strong repulsive forces.Here we show that very stable oil-

A distal intergenic region controls pancreatic endocrine differentiation by acting as a transcriptional enhancer and as a polycomb response element.

Lineage-selective expression of developmental genes is dependent on the interplay between activating and repressive mechanisms.Gene activation is dependent on cell-specific transcription factors that recognize transcriptional enhancer sequences.Gene repression often depends on the recruitment of Polycomb group (PcG) proteins, although the sequences

Two Roles for the Tenebrio molitor Relish in the Regulation of Antimicrobial Peptides and Autophagy-Related Genes in Response to Listeria monocytogenes

Relish is a key NF-κB transcription factor of the immune-deficiency (Imd) pathway that combats infection by regulating antimicrobial peptides (AMPs).Understanding of the fundamental role of Tenebrio molitor Relish (TmRelish) in controlling of Listeria monocytogenes virulence through the regulation of both AMPs and autophagy-related (ATG) genes

Dataset for life cycle assessment of strawberry-package supply chain with considering food loss during transportation

This dataset includes two kinds of data (for inventory analysis in Table A1 to A13, and precondition of waste and recycle for plastic and cardboard in Table A14) for conducting life cycle assessment (LCA) of strawberry-package supply chain with considering food loss during transportation Inventory analysis includes input data for LCA analysis.The d
