Cohesin complexes mediate sister-chromatid cohesion in dividing cells but may also contribute
to gene regulation in postmitotic cells. How cohesin regulates gene expression is not …

Plants are sessile organisms that often receive excessive amounts of light energy. This
excess energy can be exported from the chloroplasts and dissipated by the mitochondrial …

Alternative oxidase (AOX), the unique terminal oxidase in plant mitochondria, catalyzes the
energy-wasteful cyanide (CN)-resistant respiration. Although it has been suggested that AOX …

This study was designed to investigate issues concerning" inapparent carcinoma" of the
gallbladder and the effectiveness of a radical second operation in the treatment of inapparent …

Many rivers and streams have disappeared through flood control, drainage works and urban
development in Sapporo, Japan. Also, accessibility to and naturalness of the streams have …

The thiol-based redox regulation system is believed to adjust chloroplast functions in
response to changes in light environments. A redox cascade via the ferredoxin-thioredoxin …

Temporal change in the stress field after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake was observed by
stress tensor inversions of focal mechanisms of earthquakes near the source region. The …

Stress fields in inland areas of eastern Japan before and after the Tohoku‐oki earthquake
were estimated by inverting focal mechanism data. Before the earthquake,σ 1 axis was …

Immunological memory is thought to be mediated exclusively by lymphocytes. However,
enhanced innate immune responses caused by a previous infection increase protection against …

Redox regulation based on the thioredoxin (Trx) system is believed to ensure light-responsive
control of various functions in chloroplasts. Five Trx subtypes have been reported to …
