Ambivalent partnership of the Drosophila posterior class Hox protein Abdominal-B with Extradenticle and Homothorax. by Jesús R Curt, Paloma Martín, David Foronda, Bruno Hudry, Ramakrishnan Kannan, Srividya Shetty, Samir Merabet, Andrew J Saurin, Yacine Graba, Ernesto Sánchez-Herrero

“…Posterior Hox class proteins, Abdominal-B (Abd-B) in Drosophila and Hox9-13 in vertebrates, have been comparatively less studied. They strongly diverge from anterior and central class Hox proteins, with a low degree of HD sequence conservation and the absence of a core canonical Pbc interaction motif. …”

Quantitative Understanding of the Adsorption Equilibria of Acetone on Mesoporous Silica MSU-H in Supercritical CO2 by Ikuo Ushiki, Mizuki Hironaka

“…Mesoporous silica, such as MSU-H, is a promising adsorbent due to its strong interactions with polar molecules. In this study, we quantitatively evaluated the adsorption equilibrium of acetone on MSU-H type mesoporous silica in supercritical CO2 at T = (333–353) K and P = (10.0–15.0) MPa using a fixed-bed adsorption system. …”

Encapsulation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) using self-assembling food-derived proteins for efficient biological functions by Yumeng Liu, Kaixin Cao, Tong Li, Delun Mu, Naiqi Zhang, Ying Wang, Rina Wu, Junrui Wu

“…Meanwhile, increased uptake of DHA was verified by HepG2 cells, and O, M, S, and β micelles were proven to increase DHA uptake to reduce lipid deposition. Our findings strongly support the possibility that O, M, S, and β micelles can be regarded as a carrier for loading DHA.…”
