Construction of supramolecular self-assemblies whose self-assembling process and self-assembled
architectures can be controlled by external stimuli is a fascinating and challenging …

The incorporation of photoswitching molecules into molecular building blocks creates the
possibility of photoresponsive self‐assemblies in which the self‐assembled architecture or self‐…

The Song Hong (Red River) delta occurs on the northwest coast of the South China Sea. Its
evolution in response to Holocene sea-level changes was clarified on the basis of …

The ability to control the surface wettability of solid substrates is important in many situations.
Here we report the photogeneration of a highly amphiphilic (both hydrophilic and oleophilic…

The photoconvertible surface wettability of TiO 2 materials—UV illumination of these
materials can generate surfaces that display a 0 contact angle for both water and oily liquids—is …

During the process of autophagy, cytoplasmic materials are sequestered by double-membrane
structures, the autophagosomes, and then transported to a lytic compartment to be …

π-Conjugated compounds that exhibit tunable luminescence in the solid state under external
mechanical stimuli have potential applications in sensors and imaging devices. However, …

Neurotrophins such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are thought to be transferred
from post- to presynaptic neurons and to be involved in the formation and plasticity of …

Background There is limited evidence on sarcopenia in Asian populations. This study aimed
to clarify the prevalence, associated factors, and the magnitude of association with mortality …

Disease surveillance and population surveys of risk characteristics in a northeast rural
community of Japan (1965 census population, 7,030) are combined in an attempt to relate …
