Summary
Okajimas Folia Anatomica Japonica, a 100-year-old anatomical journal, is suspending publication. New submissions closed September 30, 2019, pending a future relaunch.
Area of Science:
- Anatomical sciences
- Medical publishing
Background:
- Established in 1922 by Professor Keiji Okajima, Okajimas Folia Anatomica Japonica was the sole Western-language anatomical journal in Japan.
- For approximately 100 years, it has served as a vital platform for researchers to disseminate anatomical findings globally.
Discussion:
- The editorial committee has decided on a constructive suspension of the journal's publication.
- This pause is intended to allow for adaptation to contemporary needs and a potential future resumption.
Key Insights:
- The journal has a long-standing history of supporting anatomical research and international scientific communication.
- The decision to suspend publication reflects a strategic pause for modernization rather than a permanent closure.
Outlook:
- New submissions ceased on September 30, 2019.
- The journal anticipates a future relaunch in a format that aligns with current scientific and publishing trends.

Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

Torque is an important quantity for describing the dynamics of a rotating rigid body. We see the application of torque in many ways in the world, such as when pressing the accelerator in a car, which causes the engine to apply additional torque on the drivetrain. Here, we define torque and provide a framework to create an equation to calculate torque for a rigid body with fixed-axis rotation.
Torque can be considered as the rotational counterpart to force. Since forces change the translational...

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

8.5K
Synthesis of new DNA molecules is carried out by the enzyme DNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides on the daughter strand complementary to the template DNA strand. DNA polymerase has a higher affinity to add the correct base and ensures fidelity during DNA replication. Furthermore, it exhibits proofreading activity during replication, using an exonuclease domain that cuts off incorrect nucleotides from the nascent DNA strand.

1.0K
Journal bearings are mechanical components that support and provide lateral stability to rotating shafts and axles. They are crucial in reducing friction, wear, and vibration in machinery such as engines, turbines, and pumps. The principle behind journal bearings is forming a thin lubricant film between the bearing surface and the rotating shaft, which minimizes direct contact and reduces frictional forces.
