There have been increased efforts recently to “drug” RNA using orally bioavailable, low-molecular-weight compounds. This study combines two of the most powerful tools of modern drug discovery, ...

Even though the presence of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in human adults had been reported back in 1972 (1), its relevance in adult humans has largely been neglected by the scientific and medical ...

Nonprecious metal M–N–C (M = Fe or Co) catalysts that are effective for the oxygen-reduction reaction in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells have been developed, but no consensus has yet been reached ...

Background— Blood oxygenation level–dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to measure T2* changes in skeletal muscle tissue of healthy volunteers. The BOLD effect is assumed ...

Clin Cancer Res (2006) 12 (8): 2455–2462. Purpose: There is considerable research directed toward the identification and development of functional contrast agents for medical imaging that superimpose ...
