Skeletal Muscle-Derived Stem Cell Transplantation Accelerates the Recovery of Peripheral Nerve Gap Injury under 50% and 100% Allogeneic Compatibility with the Swine Leucocyte Antigen Open
Pig skeletal muscle-derived stem cells (SK-MSCs) were transplanted onto the common peroneal nerve with a collagen tube as a preclinical large animal experiment designed to address long nerve gaps. In terms of therapeutic usefulness, a huma…

Differentiation Capacity of Porcine Skeletal Muscle-Derived Stem Cells as Intermediate Species between Mice and Humans Open
Large animal experiments are important for preclinical studies of regenerative stem cell transplantation therapy. Therefore, we investigated the differentiation capacity of pig skeletal muscle-derived stem cells (Sk-MSCs) as an intermediat…

The influence of stimulus and behavioral histories on predictive control of smooth pursuit eye movements Open
The pursuit system has the ability to perform predictive control of eye movements. Even when the target motion is unpredictable due to velocity or direction changes, preceding changes in eye velocity are generated based on weighted averagi…

Effects of smooth pursuit and second‐order stimuli on visual motion prediction Open
The purpose of this study was to determine whether smooth pursuit eye movements affect visual motion prediction using a time-to-contact task where observers anticipate the exact instant that a partially occluded target would coincide with …

Potential involvement of drought-induced Ran GTPase <i>CLRan1</i> in root growth enhancement in a xerophyte wild watermelon Open
Enhanced root growth is known as the survival strategy of plants under drought. Previous proteome analysis in drought-resistant wild watermelon has shown that Ran GTPase, an essential regulator of cell division and proliferation, was induc…

Abnormal gait, reduced locomotor activity and impaired motor coordination in Dgcr2 -deficient mice Open
It has been suggested that the DGCR2 gene plays a role in the pathogenesis of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. To analyze its function, we used our Dgcr2-knock-out/EGFP-knock-in mice (Dgcr2-KO mice). At 20-26 weeks of age, a…

Purkinje cell responses during visually and vestibularly driven smooth eye movements in mice Open
Introduction An essential complement to molecular‐genetic approaches for analyzing the function of the oculomotor circuitry in mice is an understanding of sensory and motor signal processing in the circuit. Although there has been extensiv…

Calibration of infrared video-oculography by using bioadhesive phosphorescent particles for accurate measurement of vestibulo-ocular reflex in mice Open
Eye movements are known to be well-quantitative indices to analyze a variety of neurological deficits as well as mechanisms for controlling motor systems both in scientific and clinical researches. In this study, a novel method we develope…

Potato yield enhancement through intensification of sink and source performances Open
The combined total annual yield of six major crops (maize, rice, wheat, cassava, soybean, and potato; Solanum tuberosum L.) amounts to 3.1 billion tons. In recent years, staple crops have begun to be used as substitutes for fossil fuel and…
