Carbon dioxide capture by metal-organic frameworks

Carbon dioxide capture from natural gas or flue gas is of great current interest. The ability to selectively remove it will significantly contribute to a reduction in carbon dioxide emission because of the relatively high concentrations with which it is p resent in these sources. Metal-organic f...

Hepatocyte Growth Factor in the Pathogenesis of Multiple Myeloma

Since our publications in 1996 showing that malignant plasma cells (MM cells) usually express both HGF and its receptor c-Met, a growing number of reports have implicated HGF/c-Met in the biology of MM. For instance, high levels of HGF in serum of MM pati ents predict a bad prognosis and correlat...
