In order to apply human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells
(hiPSCs) to regenerative medicine, the cells should be produced under restricted conditions …

Left ventricular wall thickness was better correlated with DC in patients with hypertension (r=—
r 0.76, p< 0.01) than in patients in the other groups, which indicates that the left ventricular …

We investigated the formation of biofilms by 3 type strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB),
Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus fructivorans, as …

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an abnormal liver metabolism often observed
with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Calorie restriction is a useful treatment for …

Visible light sensitive and highly active Cu-doped ZnS hollow photocatalyst particles “Cu-
ZnS-shell” were successfully developed. These particles could generate H2 through …

Mammalian cloning has been accomplished in several mammalian species by nuclear
transfer. However, the production rate of cloned animals is quite low, and many cloned …

Therapeutic cloning, whereby nuclear transfer (NT) is used to generate embryonic stem cells
(ESCs) from blastocysts, has been demonstrated successfully in mice and cattle. However, if …

Diet-induced obesity is reported to induce a phenotypic switch in adipose tissue
macrophages from an antiinflammatory M2 state to a proinflammatory M1 state. Telmisartan …

Adipose tissue hypoxia is an important feature of pathological adipose tissue expansion.
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in adipocytes reportedly induces oxidative stress and …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the change in resistance of biofilm and
planktonic food spoilage lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to environmental stresses, which strongly …
