Journal ArticleDOI
μ-Opioid Receptor Stimulation of Inositol (1,4,5)Trisphosphate Formation via a Pertussis Toxin-Sensitive G Protein
TL;DR: A μ‐opioid receptor‐mediated activation of phospholipase C is demonstrated, via a pertussis toxin‐sensitive G protein, that is Ca2+‐dependent, that could play a part in the cellular mechanisms of opioid action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the Rapid Increase in Life Expectancy in South Korea
TL;DR: Rapid increases in life expectancy in South Korea were mostly achieved by reductions in infant mortality and in diseases related to infections and blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible restoration of the birefringence of cold-treated, isolated mitotic apparatus of surf clam eggs with chick brain tubulin.
TL;DR: Mitotic aparatuses have been isolated which can incorporate heterologous tubulin and can assemble this tubulin into birefringent fibres similar to those of mitotic apparatuses of living cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential nucleation of phases in a 17-4PH steel: Microstructural characterisation and mechanical properties
TL;DR: In this article, the sequence of microstructural changes at the atomic scale in a 17-4PH steel is characterized by atom probe tomography (APT) at two different ageing temperatures, 480°C and 590°C, and the evolution in number density and fraction of CRPs and Cr-rich α′-phase was quantified and their respective contributions to the overall precipitation hardening of the material has been estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global inequality of life expectancy due to AIDS
TL;DR: Global inequality in both health and wealth began to rise worldwide in the early 1980s and has been exacerbated by AIDS in Africa but this trend is not inevitable, and historical trends show that inequality can be reduced.
