GENE EXPRESSION 12(4-6) 305-313 2005年 [査読有り]
Many endogenous gene expressions in the liver are well known to be predominant in males, compared with those of females. In contrast, the fate of hepatic transgene expression between sexes is not fully understood. Here we studied whether sex hormo...
Introduction. Recently, human hand transplantation in Europe has shown that motor function may be recovered in some cases. However, little is known about cell trafficking involved the graft nerve. We have succeeded to use green fluorescent protein...
Inflammation is a major contributor to atherosclerosis by its effects on arterial wall biology and lipoprotein metabolism. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that may modulate the atherosclerotic disease process. We investigat...
Background. Glomerular crescent formation is a prominent feature of aggressive forms of glomerulonephritis (GN) and is associated with a poor prognosis. We investigated whether the potent immunosuppressive agent mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) could p...
Background. Transplant arteriosclerosis is one of the main features of chronic graft failure in organ transplantation. In this article, the authors investigate mechanisms of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on prevention of transplant arteriosclerosis ...
Background/Aim: Gene transfer into the kidney has great potential as a novel therapeutic approach. However, an efficient method of gene transfer into the kidney has not been established. We explored the transduction efficiency of renal cells in vi...
