Positional cloning of a Bombyx pink-eyed white egg locus reveals the major role of cardinal in ommochrome synthesis
Ommochromes are major insect pigments involved in coloration of compound eyes, eggs, epidermis and wings. In the silkworm Bombyx mori, adult compound eyes and eggs contain a mixture of the ommochrome pigments suc...

Analytical calculations of four-neutrino oscillations in matter
We analytically derive the transition probabilities for four-neutrino oscillations in matter. The time-evolution operator giving the neutrino oscillations is expressed by a finite sum of terms up to the third...

Successful unrelated bone marrow transplantation for a patient with chronic granulomatous disease and associated resistant pneumonitis and Aspergillus osteomyelitis
We describe the successful treatment of a 20-year-old patient with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), by unrelated bone marrow transplantation (UBMT). The patient is relatively old compared to other CGD pati...
