    Identification of novel yolk ferritins unique to planarians: planarians supply aluminum rather than iron to vitellaria in egg capsules

    All animals, other than Platyhelminthes, produce eggs containing yolk, referred to as “entolecithal” eggs. However, only Neoophora, in the phylum Platyhelminthes, produce “ectolecithal” eggs (egg capsules), in...

    Construction of transplantable artificial vascular tissue based on adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells by a cell coating and cryopreservation technique

    Prevascularized artificial three-dimensional (3D) tissues are effective biomaterials for regenerative medicine. We have previously established a scaffold-free 3D artificial vascular tissue from normal human de...

    Inhibitory effect of carbonyl reductase 1 against peritoneal progression of ovarian cancer: evaluation by ex vivo 3D-human peritoneal model

    The current authors previously reported that a carbonyl reductase 1 (CR1) DNA-dendrimer complex could potentially be used in gene therapy for peritoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer. The aims of the current st...

    Mice with Disrupted TGFβ Signaling Have Normal Cerebella Development, but Exhibit Facial Dysmorphogenesis and Strain-Dependent Deficits in Their Body Wall

    The transforming growth factor betas (TGFβs) are context-dependent regulators of neurons in vitro, but their physiological functions in the brain are unclear. Haploinsufficiency of either Tgfβ1 or Tgfβ2 leads ...

    Monoclonal antibody to stage-specific fetal brain 68-kDa glycoprotein (FGP68) revealed increased FGP68 expression in human primary brain tumors

    We have produced a novel rat IgG2a monoclonal antibody against a stage-specific fetal brain glycoprotein of 68 kDa (FGP68), and succeeded in applying it to staining paraffin sections. To gain some insight into t...
