To understand the molecular events coupling between cell proliferation and differentiation
by elucidating genes essential for the process, we conducted a large scale gene expression …

Pax9 and Msx1 encode transcription factors that are known to be essential for the switch in
odontogenic potential from the epithelium to the mesenchyme. Multiple lines of evidence …

Osteoclasts are multinucleated giant cells that reside in osseous tissues and resorb bone.
Signaling mediated by receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB (RANK) and its ligand leads …

From 1996 to 1997, potassium silicate (SiO 2 ) was tested at 0, 25, 50, and 100 mg l −1 in
hydroponics to control powdery mildew. Other elements were added in the usual amounts, and …

A soil drench of soluble silicon (liquid potassium silicate) was tested for the control of powdery
mildew of strawberry in soil for 2 years in a vinyl house under growers' conditions on two …

Water‐soluble fullerenes have attracted attention as promising compounds that have been
used to forge new paths in the field of photo‐biochemistry. To prepare water‐soluble …

Autosomal dominant mutations in the gene encoding the paired box containing transcription
factor PAX9 are associated with nonsyndromic human tooth agenesis that primarily affect …

l-Serine is required to synthesize membrane lipids such as phosphatidylserine and sphingolipids.
Nevertheless, it remains largely unknown how a diminished capacity to synthesize l-…
