Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been extensively investigated for the treatment of
various diseases. The therapeutic potential of MSCs is attributed to complex cellular and …

Lignin is highly branched phenolic polymer and accounts 15–30% by weight of lignocellulosic
biomass (LCBM). The acceptable molecular structure of lignin is composed with three …

This critical review covers the recent progress in the research of mesogen-jacketed liquid
crystalline polymers (MJLCPs), special side-on side-chain liquid crystalline polymers with very …

In coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the relationship between disease severity and the host …

Catalytic conversion of polysulfides is regarded as a crucial approach to enhancing kinetics
and suppressing the shuttle effect in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. However, the activity …

Developing lightweight, flexible, foldable and sustainable power sources with simple
transport and storage remains a challenge and an urgent need for the advancement of next-…

Medulloblastoma, the most common malignant paediatric brain tumour, is currently treated
with nonspecific cytotoxic therapies including surgery, whole-brain radiation, and aggressive …

We report the first large genome-wide association study (GWAS) in a Chinese population to
identify susceptibility variants for psoriasis using a two-stage case-control design. In the first …

The Notch signaling pathway is required in both nonneoplastic neural stem cells and
embryonal brain tumors, such as medulloblastoma, which are derived from such cells. We …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are thought to be critical for the engraftment and long-term growth
of many tumors, including glioblastoma (GBM). The cells are at least partially spared by …
