Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Comprehensive analysis of glycosphingolipid glycans by lectin microarrays and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are ubiquitous glycoconjugates present on the cell membrane, which play significant roles in organism. Analyzing such amphiphilic molecules is a major challenge in the field of glycosphingolipidomics. We provide a new method to analyze GSL glycans by a lectin microarray.
Thermally-activated quasiparticles in hydrous Fe-bearing geomaterials: a possible route to design new functional materials
Amphiboles are amazing minerals existing in a wide range of temperature and pressure and accommodating a diversity of elements in their structure. These compounds can be potential functional materials because they exhibit strongly anisotropic properties stemming from their structural anisotropy.
Phase I/II trial of lenalidomide, methotrexate, leucovorin, cytarabine, and rituximab (LeMLAR) in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Lenalidomide has moderate activity in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Its efficacy may be improved by combination with chemotherapy.
Projecting the future of seasonally open Arctic waters
As the Arctic Ocean warms, its open-water season grows longer and its ice-covered season becomes shorter. Our research shows that the average annual open-water period for Arctic waters lengthens by about 1 month for every 1°C of global warming between now and 2100.
