In a survey built on existing frameworks, 1476 students at large Canadian polytechnic answered questions about their own literacy, acumen, consumption habits. Analysis data suggests that conscientio...

Due to the high homology between the LAGE-1 and NY-ESO-1 proteins, we hypothesized that an anti-NY-ESO-1 vaccine might elicit LAGE-1 immunity and hence may be effective in multiple myeloma (MM) patients with LAGE-1-positive/NY-ESO-1-negative tumors. Therefore, we set out to evaluate LAGE-1 and NY-ESO-1 mRNA and protein expression in MM patients in a bid to evaluate possible benefits of their ho...

Many cancers escape host immunity without losing tumor-specific rejection antigens or MHC class I expression. This study tracks the evolution of one such cancer that developed in a mouse following exposure to ultraviolet light. The primary autochthonous tumor was not highly malignant and was rejected when transplanted into naïve immunocompetent mice. Neoplastic cells isolated from the primary t...

ARCHIPELAGO is an archaeological and historical database of land sea food resources utilised in the Japanese Islands. Here we present a dataset human bone hair carbon nitrogen stable isotopes measurements from sites covering time span Upper Palaeolithic to mid-nineteenth century. Reflecting results over 30 years research, contains 1476 entries covers entire archipelago, although data are more h...

It is intriguing that during human cultural evolution man has detected plant natural products that appear to target key protein receptors of important physiological systems rather selectively. Plants containing such secondary metabolites usually belong to unique chemotaxa, induce potent pharmacological effects and have typically been used for recreational and medicinal purposes or as poisons. C...
