An interaction between hepatocyte growth factor and its receptor (c-MET) prolongs the survival of chronic lymphocytic leukemic cells through STAT3 phosphorylation: a potential role of mesenchymal cells in the disease

Background Chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells are characterized by an apparent longevity in vivo which is lost when they are cultured in vitro.Cellular interactions and factors provided by the microenvironment appear essential to cell survival and may protect leukemic cells from the cytotoxicity of conventional therapies.Understanding the cross-tal

En route to single-step, two-phase purification of carbon nanotubes facilitated by high-throughput spectroscopy

Abstract Chirality purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is desirable for applications in many fields, but general utility is currently hampered by low throughput.We discovered a method to obtain single-chirality SWCNT enrichment Collagen Protein by the aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) method in a single step.To achieve appropr
