Bender–Knuth Billiards in Coxeter Groups by Grant Barkley, Colin Defant, Eliot Hodges, Noah Kravitz, Mitchell Lee

“…When W is finite, we actually prove that if $s_{i_N}\cdots s_{i_1}$ is a reduced expression for the long element of W, then $\tau _{i_N}\cdots \tau _{i_1}(W)=\mathscr {L}$ ; this allows us to determine the smallest integer $\mathrm {M}(c)$ such that $\mathrm {Pro}_c^{{\mathrm {M}}(c)}(W)=\mathscr {L}$ for all $\mathscr {L}$ . …”

Localization of Liv2 as an Immature Hepatocyte Marker in EB Outgrowth by Ikkei Takashimizu, Yoshiki Tanaka, Susumu Yoshie, Yoshiya Kano, Hinako Ichikawa, Li Cui, Naoko Ogiwara, Kohei Johkura, Katsunori Sasaki

“…The objective of this study was to establish Liv2, a surface marker of mouse immature hepatocytes (hepatoblasts), as a selection tool for embryonic stem (ES) cell–derived immature hepatocytes by acquiring basic data on Liv2 in normal mouse embryos and by confirming Liv2 expression in mouse ES-derived cells. The estimated molecular weight of Liv2 was 4045 kDa, and immunoreactivity was definitively detected in the cell membrane of fetal hepatocytes on embryonic day (E) 9.5, declined gradually until E12.5, and subsequently became undetectable. …”
