We collected and completely sequenced 28,469 full-length complementary DNA clones
from Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare. Through homology searches of publicly …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary
fibrosis. We previously demonstrated that N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant, inhibited …

Introduction: In non–small-cell lung cancer, an exon 19 deletion and an L858R point mutation
in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are predictors of a response to EGFR-…

Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies in both animals and patients with asthma have shown
that interleukin (IL)-9 is an important inflammatory mediator in asthma. To examine the …

Although the principles of noncovalent bonding are well understood and form the basis for
the syntheses of many intricate supramolecular structures, supramolecular noncovalent …

Metastasis to the skin from lung cancer is less commonthan metastasis to other organs. We
clinically reviewed 16 cases of skin metastasis. The incidence of skin metastasis was2. 8% …

Neutrophil elastase plays pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. The neutrophil
elastase inhibitor, sivelestat, could alleviate pulmonary fibrosis; however, the antifibrotic …

Rationale: Transforming growth factor-α and epidermal growth factor (EGF), the ligands for
EGF receptor (EGFR), stimulate fibroblast proliferation and play an important role in the …

A small GTPase, Rho, plays key roles in cell adhesion, motility, and contraction after stimulation.
Among Rho effectors isolated, the family of Rho-associated coiled-coil–forming protein …

Self-assembled ionic liquid crystals can transport water and ions via the periodic
nanochannels, and these materials are promising candidates as water treatment membranes. …
