Open AccessBone scan index (BSI) scoring by using bone scintigraphy and circulating tumor cells (CTCs): predictive factors for enzalutamide effectiveness in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases
Reports of Bone Scan Index (BSI) calculations as imaging biomarkers to predict survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have been mainly from retrospective studies. To ...

Open AccessThe coral reef-dwelling Peneroplis spp. shows calcification recovery to ocean acidification conditions
Large Benthic Foraminifera are a crucial component of coral-reef ecosystems, which are currently threatened by ocean acidification. We conducted culture experiments to evaluate the impact of low pH on survival...

Open AccessDecrease in volume and density of foraminiferal shells with progressing ocean acidification
Rapid increases in anthropogenic atmospheric CO2 partial pressure have led to a decrease in the pH of seawater. Calcifying organisms generally respond negatively to ocean acidification. Foraminifera are one of th...

Rapid glaciation and a two-step sea level plunge into the Last Glacial Maximum
The approximately 10,000-year-long Last Glacial Maximum, before the termination of the last ice age, was the coldest period in Earth’s recent climate history1. Relative to the Holocene epoch, atmospheric carbon d...

Open AccessProton pum** accompanies calcification in foraminifera
Ongoing ocean acidification is widely reported to reduce the ability of calcifying marine organisms to produce their shells and skeletons. Whereas increased dissolution due to acidification is a largely inorga...
