The synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone markedly decreases the invasiveness of HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. We show here that dexamethasone treatment of HT-1080 cell aggregates more than doubles their cohesivity from 3.9 to 9.7 dyne/cm. Western blot analysis shows a corresponding increase in cadherin expression. This was accompanied by an increase in the rate of calcium-dependent aggreg...

Bacillus rubiinfantis sp. nov. strain mt2(T) is the type strain of B. rubiinfantis sp. nov., isolated from the fecal flora of a child with kwashiorkor in Niger. It is Gram-positive facultative anaerobic rod belonging to the Bacillaceae family. We describe the features of this organism alongside the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 4 311 083 bp long genome (one chromosome but no plas...

smooth coefficients aα(x), L+ be a formally adjoint differential operation. Let L0, L0 be minimal operators (i.e., for example, D(L0) is the clozure of C∞ 0 (Ω) in the norm of the graph ‖u‖L = ‖u‖L2(Ω)+‖Lu‖L2(Ω)), and L, L+ be maximal expansions of L,L+ in the space L2(Ω) respectively (i.e. L = (L0 ) ∗, L+ = (L0)∗), L̃ = L|D(L̃) where D(L̃) is the clozure of C∞(Ω̄) in the norm of the graph ‖u‖L and...

We demonstrate that the recent paper by Jana and Roy entitled “Non-Hermitian quantum mechanics with minimal length uncertainty” [SIGMA 5 (2009), 083, 7 pages, arXiv:0908.1755] contains various misconceptions. We compare with an analysis on the same topic carried out previously in our manuscript [arXiv:0907.5354]. In particular, we show that the metric operators computed for the deformed non-Her...
