Light-driven motion of liquids on a photoresponsive surface

K Ichimura, SK Oh, M Nakagawa - Science, 2000 - science.sciencemag.org
The macroscopic motion of liquids on a flat solid surface was manipulated reversibly by
photoirradiation of a photoisomerizable monolayer covering the surface. When a liquid
droplet several millimeters in diameter was placed on a substrate surface modified with a …

Patient-specific embryonic stem cells derived from human SCNT blastocysts

WS Hwang, SI Roh, BC Lee, SK Kang, DK Kwon… - …, 2005 - science.sciencemag.org
Patient-specific, immune-matched human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are anticipated to
be of great biomedical importance for studies of disease and development, and to advance
clinical deliberations for stem cell transplantation. Eleven hESC lines were established by …

[HTML][HTML] Human blood CXCR5+ CD4+ T cells are counterparts of T follicular cells and contain specific subsets that differentially support antibody secretion

R Morita, N Schmitt, SE Bentebibel, R Ranganathan… - Immunity, 2011 - Elsevier
Although a fraction of human blood memory CD4+ T cells expresses chemokine (CXC motif)
receptor 5 (CXCR5), their relationship to T follicular helper (Tfh) cells is not well established.
Here we show that human blood CXCR5+ CD4+ T cells share functional properties with Tfh …

Synergy of IL-21 and IL-15 in regulating CD8+ T cell expansion and function

R Zeng, R Spolski, SE Finkelstein, SK Oh… - Journal of …, 2005 - jem.rupress.org
Interleukin (IL)-21 is the most recently recognized of the cytokines that share the common
cytokine receptor γ chain (γ c), which is mutated in humans with X-linked severe combined
immunodeficiency. We now report that IL-21 synergistically acts with IL-15 to potently …

echocardiographic epicardial fat to the presence and severity of coronary artery disease in a …

Screening ethnically diverse human embryonic stem cells identifies a chromosome 20 minimal amplicon conferring growth advantage

K Amps, PW Andrews, G Anyfantis, L Armstrong… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
Abstract The International Stem Cell Initiative analyzed 125 human embryonic stem (ES) cell
lines and 11 induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell lines, from 38 laboratories worldwide, for
genetic changes occurring during culture. Most lines were analyzed at an early and late …

Genome sequence of the hot pepper provides insights into the evolution of pungency in Capsicum species

Hot pepper (Capsicum annuum), one of the oldest domesticated crops in the Americas, is
the most widely grown spice crop in the world. We report whole-genome sequencing and
assembly of the hot pepper (Mexican landrace of Capsicum annuum cv. CM334) at 186.6× …

[HTML][HTML] Progress on new vaccine strategies for the immunotherapy and prevention of cancer

JA Berzofsky, M Terabe, SK Oh… - The Journal of …, 2004 - Am Soc Clin Investig
In recent years, great strides in understanding and regulating the immune system have led
to new hope for harnessing its exquisite specificity to destroy cancer cells without affecting
normal tissues. This review examines the fundamental immunologic advances and the novel …

Preparation and characterization of 1− 2 nm dendrimer-encapsulated gold nanoparticles having very narrow size distributions

YG Kim, SK Oh, RM Crooks - Chemistry of Materials, 2004 - ACS Publications
Highly monodisperse, 1− 2-nm diameter Au nanoparticles were prepared using poly
(amidoamine)(PAMAM) dendrimers as templates. The synthesis is carried out in water, takes
less than 30 min, and requires no subsequent purification. Au nanoparticles having …
