We have demonstrated a novel three-dimensional multibridge-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MBCFET). This transistor was successfully fabricated using a conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process. We introduce the fabrication technologies and electrical characteristics of MBCFET in comparison with a conventional planar MOSFET. The MBCFET has more benefits than a conventional MOSFET. It shows 4.6 times larger current drivability than a planar MOSFET. Th

The Wnt pathway is a promising therapeutic and preventive target in various human cancers. The transcriptional complex of β-catenin-T-cell factor (Tcf), a key mediator of canonical Wnt signaling, has been implicated in human colon cancer development. Current treatment of colon cancer depends on traditional cytotoxic agents with limited effects. Therefore, the identification of natural compounds that can disrupt the β-catenin-TcF complex to suppress cancer cell growth with fewer adverse side effe

Abstract Motivation To address ‘missing heritability’ issue, many statistical methods for pathway-based analyses using rare variants have been proposed to analyze pathways individually. However, neglecting correlations between multiple pathways can result in misleading solutions, and pathway-based analyses of large-scale genetic datasets require massive computational burden. We propose a Pathway-based approach using HierArchical components of collapsed RAre variants Of High-throughput sequencing

Activator protein-1 (AP-1) regulates a wide range of cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. As a transcription factor, AP-1 is commonly found as a heterodimer comprised of c-Jun and c-Fos proteins. However, other heterodimers may also be formed. The function of these dimers, specifically the heterodimeric AP-1 comprised of JunD and c-Fos (AP-1(JunD/c-Fos)), has not been elucidated. Here, we identified a function of AP-1(JunD/c-Fos) in Xenopus hematopoiesis. A

The heterodimeric c-Jun/c-Fos, an activator protein-1 (AP-1) has been implicated in mesoderm induction (Dong et al., 1996; Kim et al., 1998) whereas the homodimer of c-Jun was reported to be involved in neural inhibition during the early development of Xenopus embryos. During the early vertebrate development AP-1 involvement in the neural induction is still not clearly understood. We report here that AP-1 has a role in Zic3 expression, a critical proneural gene and a primary regulator of neural

We demonstrate highly manufacturable sub-50 nm MBCFET with the I/sub on/ of 4.26 mA/ /spl mu/m at V/sub DD/ = 1.2V, which is the best performance ever reported. This excellent performance of the MBCFET is resulted from the vertically stacked channels and enhanced mobility. It has been fabricated on bulk Si substrate by using the multiple epitaxial growth of SiGe/Si/SiGe/Si layers and damascene gate process. It has structural and electrical merits in scaling and process integration.

Comparison with existing toolsets showed that WISARD is computationally suitable for integrated analysis of related subjects, and demonstrated that WISARD outperforms existing toolsets. WISARD has also been successfully utilized to analyze the large-scale massive sequencing dataset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease data (COPD), and we identified multiple genes associated with COPD, which demonstrates its practical value.

A role for histone H2AX, one of the variants of the nucleosome core histone H2A, has been demonstrated in DNA repair, tumor suppression, apoptosis, and cell cycle checkpoint function. However, the physiological function and post-translational modification of histone H2AX during vertebrate development have not been elucidated. Here, we provide evidence showing that Xenopus histone H2AX (XH2AX) has a role in the anterior neural plate for eye field formation during Xenopus embryogenesis. A loss-of-

Herein, we present a powerful, pathway-based approach to investigate associations between multiple pathways and multiple phenotypes. By reflecting the natural hierarchy of biological behavior, and considering correlation between pathways and phenotypes, the proposed method is capable of analyzing multiple phenotypes and multiple pathways simultaneously.

AP-1(c-Jun/c-Fos) plays a specific role in organizer gene expression in downstream of activin signal during early Xenopus embryogenesis.

In this paper, we introduced a novel pathway-level association test by combining hierarchical structured components analysis and penalized generalized estimating equations. The proposed method analyzes all pathways in a single unified model while considering their correlations.
