GNASR201H and KrasG12D cooperate to promote murine pancreatic tumorigenesis recapitulating human intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), the most common pancreatic cystic neoplasm, is known to progress to invasive ductal adenocarcinoma. IPMNs commonly harbor activating somatic mutations in GNAS and K...

Open AccessmiR-9-3p plays a tumour-suppressor role by targeting TAZ (WWTR1) in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
The inactivation of the Hippo pathway lead to TAZ (PDZ-binding motif)/YAP (yes-associated protein) overexpression, and is associated with worse prognostic outcomes in various cancers including hepatocellular c...

Open AccessCD44s signals the acquisition of the mesenchymal phenotype required for anchorage-independent cell survival in hepatocellular carcinoma
Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) have an important role in metastatic processes, but details of their basic characteristics remain elusive. We hypothesised that CD44-expressing CTCs show a mesenchymal phenotype...

Expansion of donor-reactive host T cells in primary graft failure after allogeneic hematopoietic SCT following reduced-intensity conditioning
Graft rejection remains a major obstacle in allogeneic hematopoietic SCT following reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC-SCT), particularly after cord blood transplantation (CBT). In a murine MHC-mismatched mode...

Diagnosis of Periodontitis with the Energy Information in Dental Panoramic Image
In dental panoramic imaging the teeth and jaws are imaged with x-rays. And in this imaging, energy of photons is acquired with the integral manner and thus we cannot use the information of x-ray energy passing...

Quantitative Measurement of Physical Value of Materials with a Dental Panoramic Radiograph
In dental panoramic images the information on physical change of organs such as the alveolar bone and jaw bones is very important to diagnose several diseases. The tomosynthesis approach can focus on a specifi...

Advantages of Energy-Binned Photon Counting Detector
We developed an energy-binned photon counting (EBPC) detector with a CdTe crystal, in which we can measure photons with four energy windows. The data acquired with the detector have information about the energ...

Impurity effects on electron–mode coupling in high-temperature superconductors
Despite years of intensive research on copper oxide superconductors with high transition temperatures (Tc), the driving force of superconductivity has not yet been clarified. Angle-resolved photoemission spectros...

Comparison of the effects of gasless procedure, CO2-pneumoperitoneum, and laparotomy on splenic and hepatic natural killer activity in a rat model
Background: Natural killer (NK) activity plays an important role in the prevention of tumor metastasis. However, few studies compared changes in NK activities between gas(less) laparoscop...

Oncological effects of insufflation with different gases and a gasless procedure in rats
Background: The validity of using carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic tumor surgery has not been investigated thoroughly. The oncologic effects of a gasless procedure an...
