As a base for human transcriptome and functional genomics, we created the “full-length long
Japan”(FLJ) collection of sequenced human cDNAs. We determined the entire sequence of …

The radiologic diagnosis of liver metastasis involves detection, characterization, and tumor
staging. Knowledge of the histopathologic changes that occur with metastases provides the …

By analyzing 1,780,295 5′-end sequences of human full-length cDNAs derived from 164
kinds of oligo-cap cDNA libraries, we identified 269,774 independent positions of …

Purpose To evaluate the utility of hepatocyte-phase gadoxetate disodium–enhanced
magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in staging hepatic fibrosis and to compare it with diffusion …

DiŠusion-weighted (DWI) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is useful in diagnosing various
pathologic conditions in the liver, such as malignant tumors or hepatic ˆbrosis, and is now …

Background: Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis. The clinical efficacy of
immunotherapy using both dendritic cells pulsed with MUC1 peptide (MUC1-DC) and …

Previously, we have demonstrated that the transplantation of viable, structurally intact,
respiration competent mitochondria into the ischemic myocardium during early reperfusion …

Background: Since acute abdomen requires accurate diagnosis and treatment within a
particular time limit to prevent mortality, the Japanese Society for Abdominal Emergency …

Purpose To evaluate and compare total body weight (TBW), lean body weight (LBW), and
estimated blood volume (BV) for the adjustment of the iodine dose required for contrast …

Inter-cellular heterogeneity in metabolic state has been proposed to influence many cancer
phenotypes, including responses to targeted therapy. Here, we track the transitions and …
