Abstract The brain of a human and other organisms is affected by the electromagnetic field (EMF) radiations, emanating from the cell phones and mobile towers. Prolonged exposure to EMF radiations may cause neurological changes in the brain, which in turn may bring chemical as well as morphological changes in the brain. Conventionally, the identification of EMF radiation effect on the brain is performed using cellular-level analysis. In the present work, an automatic image processing–based...

Abstract The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is a major determinant of skin pigmentation and sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) (1). When stimulated by its natural agonists, the melanocortin peptides αMSH and ACTH, it promotes the switch from synthesis of poorly photoprotective and lightly colored pheomelanins to production of photoprotective and darker eumelanins. Several common variants of the MC1R gene are associated with the so‐called red hair color phenotype (RHC) characterized by fair...

Abstract IL‐15 has emerged as a potentially relevant target in the IL‐17 response in psoriasis. However, its mechanism is poorly characterized in humans. IL‐15 and IL‐23 are constitutively expressed in the psoriatic lesion. Also, IL‐15 is considered a susceptibility‐associated gene in psoriasis, as are IL‐23R , and HLACW6 . Here, we studied the effect of IL‐15 and IL‐23 stimulation on the cytokine response of CLA+/CLA‐ T cells from 9 psoriasis patients and 3 healthy control subjects. To this end,...

Patients with cystic fibrosis exhibited an important reduction in contractile activity and increased retention of static turbid luminal content in the small bowel by endoluminal image analysis. These findings indicate that impaired transit and pooling of gut contents in patients with cystic fibrosis are not only related to the secretory dysfunction and thickening of intraluminal contents, but also to a motor dysfunction of the gut. Abstract Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem disease...

Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a distinct histologic type of ovarian carcinoma. CCC is more frequent in Japan than in the Western world. CCC is chemo‐resistant and often associated with paraneoplastic thromboembolism. Histologically, CCC is characterized by both cancer cells and stromas, being concordant with the cytological features. Clear cells contain abundant glycogen. Hepatocyte nuclear factor‐1β is a specific marker of CCC, and is likely to be involved in glucose metabolism. Extracellular matrix...

Herein we describe enantioselective syntheses of strychnos and chelidonium alkaloids. In the first case, indole acetic acid esters were established as excellent partner nucleophiles for enantioselective cooperative isothiourea/Pd catalyzed a ‐alkylation. This provides products containing indole‐bearing stereocenters in high yield and with excellent levels of enantioinduction in a manner that is notably independent of the N ‐substituent. This led to concise syntheses of (–)‐akuammicine and (–)‐strychnine...

The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of plasmonic nanomaterials is highly dependent on their structures. Going beyond simple shape and size, methods of further structural modification usually involve the growth of a wetting layer on seeds, or the growth of a non‐wetting island. In general, the structural tunability is still low and it hinders the exploration of plasmonic nanostructures. Here, we provide two new dimensions of synthetic controls in Au‐on‐Au homometallic nanohybrids: the number...
