Appropriate cell number and organ size in a multicellular organism are determined by
coordinated cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. Disruption of these processes can cause …

Tissue growth and organ size are determined by coordinated cell proliferation and apoptosis
in development. Recent studies have demonstrated that Hippo (Hpo) signaling plays a …

Early-warning systems for natural disasters are important tools for disaster risk reduction and
for achieving sustainable development and livelihoods. In 2005, the Japanese government …

The proliferation and differentiation of neural precursor cells are mutually exclusive during
brain development. Despite its importance for precursor cell self renewal, the molecular …

To examine the in vivo effects of macrolide antibiotics on mucus hypersecretion, we induced
hypertrophic and metaplastic changes of goblet cells in rat nasal epithelium by intranasal …

For a valid cytokine immunotherapy of malignancies, a suitable delivery system that ensures
slow-release of cytokines is required, because short half-life in vivo of the molecules ruins …

During spinal cord development, oligodendrocytes are generated from a restricted region of
the ventral ventricular zone and then spread out into the entire spinal cord. These events are …

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the origin
and breakout site of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) or premature ventricular …

Abstract Machine learning classifiers for psychiatric disorders using resting-state functional
magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) have recently attracted attention as a method for …

We propose a new type of tactile sensor that can detect both the contact force and hardness
of an object. It consists of a diaphragm with a mesa structure, a piezo-resistive displacement …
