Structure of superhard tungsten tetraboride: a missing link between MB2 and MB12 higher borides.

abstract：:The integrity of cell membranes is maintained by a balance between the amount of cholesterol and the amounts of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids in phospholipids. This balance is maintained by membrane-bound transcription factors called sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) that activate genes encod...
