Tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1), and TRP-2 are the enzymes involved in
melanin biosynthesis and are preferentially expressed in pigment cells. Their human gene …

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (Mitf) plays a critical role in the development
of neural crest-derived melanocytes. Here, we show that exogenously added Wnt-3a protein, …

The atomically smooth SrTiO 3 (100) with steps one unit cell in height was obtained by treating
the crystal surface with a pH-controlled NH 4 F-HF solution. The homoepitaxy of SrTiO 3 …

Amino acid sequences of four peptide fragments of human hepatocyte growth factor purified
from the plasma of patients with fulminant hepatic failure were determined. Based on the …

Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a disease characterized
by chronic, profound, disabling, and unexplained fatigue. Although it is hypothesized that …

An in vivo technique was developed for measuring the absolute myocardial blood flow with
H215O and dynamic positron-emission tomography. This technique was based on a new …

Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) catalyzes heme breakdown, eventually releasing iron, carbon
monoxide, and bilirubin IXα. HO-1 is induced by its substrate heme and various environmental …

Recent studies have shown limited utility of routine surveillance imaging for diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma (DLBCL) patients achieving remission. Detection of molecular disease by …

The effect of the inaccuracy of the input function on CBF measured by the H 15 2 O autoradiographic
method was investigated. In H 15 2 O autoradiography the measured input function …

The purpose of this study was to determine the safety, distribution, internal dosimetry, and
initial human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive tumor images of 64 Cu-…
