    Value of Highly Sensitive Fucosylated Fraction of Alpha-Fetoprotein for Prediction of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence After Curative Treatment

    The fucosylated fraction of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP-L3) has been used as a diagnostic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, a highly sensitive immunoassay using an on-chip electrokinetic reaction...

    Clinical Advantage of Highly Sensitive On-Chip Immunoassay for Fucosylated Fraction of Alpha-Fetoprotein in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) has been widely used as a diagnostic master for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the fucosylated fraction of AFP (AFP-L3) has been reported to be a specific marker for HCC. However, ...

    Predisposition to mouse thymic lymphomas in response to ionizing radiation depends on variant alleles encoding metal-responsive transcription factor-1 (Mtf-1)

    Genetic predisposition to cancers is significant to public health because a high proportion of cancers probably arise in a susceptible human subpopulation. Using a mouse model of γ-ray-induced thymic lymphomas, w...

    Map** of genetic modifiers of thymic lymphoma development in p53-knockout mice

    The strain dependency of the spectrum and latency of tumors has been reported in p53-deficient (KO) mice, suggesting the presence of modifiers for the outcome of the p53 deficiency. The modifiers provide clues to...

    Mechanism of Anti-Proliferative Action of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) in Vascular Cell Growth: Its Effect on Signal Transduction System

    In late 1970s, Dyerberg and Bang reported that a low incidence of cardiovascular thrombotic disorders could be ascribed to a large intake of marine diet rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)1. Since then...
