Due to a grim Turban prognosis, there is an urgent need to detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) prior to metastasis.However, reliable diagnostic imaging methods or biomarkers for PDAC or its precursor lesions are still scarce.ADAM8, a metalloprotease-disintegrin, is highly expressed in PDAC tissue and negatively correlates with patient su
The WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are one of the largest families of TFs in plants and play multiple roles in plant development and stress response.In the present study, GmWRKY16 encoding a WRKY transcription factor in soybean was functionally characterized in Arabidopsis.GmWRKY16 is a nuclear protein that contains a highly conserved WRKY domain
Porous Copper (Cu) was brazed to Cu plates using Cu-9.7Sn-5.7Ni-7P amorphous filler metal.The effects of brazing parameters on the porous Cu and brazed joints were investigated.The furnace brazing temperatures employed were 660 °C and 680 °C, and the holding times were 10 and 15 min.After brazing, the microstructure was analyzed using Sca
(1) Background: Let the continuous parameter X be a proxy variable for the outcome of an intervention R.Quasi-experimental studies are designed to evaluate the effect of R over X when forming a randomized control group (without the intervention) is impractical or/and unethical.The most popular quasi-experimental design, the difference-in-difference
