The neuropeptide kisspeptin, encoded by Kiss1, regulates reproduction by stimulating GnRH secretion. Kiss1-syntheizing neurons reside primarily in the hypothalamic anteroventral periventricular (AVPV/PeN) and arcuate (ARC) nuclei. AVPV/PeN Kiss1 neurons are sexually dimorphic, with females expressing more Kiss1 than males, and participate in estradiol (E2)-induced positive feedback control of G...

This paper proposes KISS, a novel Internet classification engines. Motivated by the expected raise of UDP traffic, which stems from the momentum of P2P streaming applications, we propose a novel payload-based classification framework which leverages on statistical characterization of payload. Statistical signatures are automatically inferred from training data, by the means of a Chi-Square like...

This research aims at developing a new approach called ‘KISS Modeling’. KISS is generally a rule of ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid’ that will be applied in modeling process investigated and presented by the research. The new approach is implemented in a computer program ‘KISS Modeling’ that generates three dimensional forms based on simplifying the concept of shape recognition in design. The research,...

TheKiSS-1 gene has been reported to be ametastasis suppressor gene in humanmelanoma. Thegene product was isolated from human placenta as the ligand of GPR54, a G protein–coupled receptor, and the C-terminally amidated peptide of 54 amino acids is called metastin. The binding of metastin to GPR54 has been shown to inhibit tumormetastasis in some tumor cells; however, its function remains unclear...

Kiss Jenő akadémikus, a Magyar Nyelvtudományi Társaság elnöke 2023. februárjában ünnepelte 80. születésnapját. A és folyóirata, Nyelv azzal kíván megemlékezni jeles évfordulóról, hogy felkérte három alelnököt egy-egy rövid, személyes hangvételű üdvözlés megírására, továbbá két tanítványt, készítsen riportot az ünnepelttel. Ezek közreadása után egy könyvismertetés következik, amelyben recenzens ...

BACKGROUND Microcell-mediated transfer of chromosome 6 into human C8161 and MelJuSo melanoma cell suppresses their ability to metastasize by at least 95% without affecting their tumorigenicity. This observation demonstrates that the ability to metastasize is a phenotype distinct from tumor formation and suggests that tumorigenic cells acquire metastatic capability only after accumulating additi...
