We have previously investigated a total of 173 azulene-, tropolone- and azulenequinone-related
compounds for their tumor-specificity and anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, we …

Various mechanisms are involved in detoxification of heavy metals such as lead (Pb) in plant
cells. Most of the Pb taken up by plants accumulates in their roots. However, the detailed …

Background: We have previously reported that azulene-related compounds, and alkaline
extract of Sasa senanensis Rehder potently inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production by …

We found that UP1, a proteolytic product of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP
A1), both enhances and represses the telomerase activity. The formation of the UP1–…

The columella cells of soybean roots grown under gravity and simulated microgravity induced
by a clinostat were examined using potassium pyroantimonate (PA) and quantitative X-ray …

DNA (mtDNA) D-loop. Hu() identified germpractical use for the preservation and regeneration
of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Research Center commercial breeding stocks and …

In this chapter, building on our own experimental data of Japanese and other typologically
distinct languages, we attempt to elucidate the source of the subject preference widely …

Context: Mutations of multiple transcription factor genes involved in pituitary development
have been identified in a minor portion of patients with combined pituitary hormone deficiency (…

The rice species Oryza sativa is considered to be a model plant because of its small genome
size, extensive genetic map, relative ease of transformation and synteny with other cereal …

The imaging of β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregates in the brain may lead to the early detection of
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and monitoring of the progression and effectiveness of treatment. The …
