Evidence that mitochondria in macrophages are destroyed by microautophagy Open
Microautophagy is an intracellular degradation process in which degradatory organelles, such as the lysosome, directly take up substrates by invagination and/or protrusion of their membranes. Here, we provide evidence that Rab32-positive, …

A Method for Maintaining Sense of agency Using Auditory Feedback During Cooperative Driving Open
In cooperative driving, in which the driver takes the initiative in driving and the system provides constant assistance, it has been reported that as the strength of the system's assistance increases, the sense of agency decreases. Using a…

Rab32 and Rab38 maintain bone homeostasis by regulating intracellular traffic in osteoclasts Open
Osteoclasts play a crucial role in bone homeostasis by forming resorption pits on bone surfaces, resulting in bone resorption. The osteoclast expression of Rab38 protein is highly induced during differentiation from macrophages. Here we ge…

Plasma free amino acid profiles are associated with serum high molecular weight adiponectin levels in Japanese medical check-up population without type 2 diabetes mellitus Open
To prevent the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), early detection and intervention are important. Several studies have already shown that the serum adiponectin level could be useful for evaluating the future risk of T2DM. Rece…

Decreased circulating branched-chain amino acids are associated with development of Alzheimer’s disease in elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment Open
Background Nutritional epidemiology has shown that inadequate dietary protein intake is associated with poor brain function in the elderly population. The plasma free amino acid (PFAA) profile reflects nutritional status and may have the p…

Clinical significance of plasma-free amino acids and tryptophan metabolites in patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving PD-1 inhibitor: a pilot cohort study for developing a prognostic multivariate model Open
Background Amino acid metabolism is essential for tumor cell proliferation and regulation of immune cell function. However, the clinical significance of free amino acids (plasma-free amino acids (PFAAs)) and tryptophan-related metabolites …

Quantification of the kokumi peptide, γ-glutamyl-valyl-glycine, in cheese: Comparison between cheese made from cow and ewe milk Open
Recent studies have shown that several types of cheese contain kokumi γ-glutamyl dipeptides, and the kokumi tripeptide, γ-glutamyl-valyl-glycine (γ-Glu-Val-Gly), is a component of various fermented foods. The quantification of γ-Glu-Val-Gl…

Visibility Enhancement by Integrating Refocusing and Direct-Global Separation with Contact Imaging Open
Contact imaging is a compact lensless microscopy technique that allows observation of living cells placed directly on a charge-coupled device sensor. However, captured images exhibit low visibility in general. This work is aimed at integra…

Investigation of the driver's seat that displays future vehicle motion Open
Automated driving reduces the burden on the driver, however also makes it difficult for the driver to understand the current situation and predict the future movement of the vehicle. To facilitate the prediction of the future behavior of t…

Association between plasma concentrations of branched-chain amino acids and adipokines in Japanese adults without diabetes Open
Previous studies have consistently reported an association between circulating levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) or adipokines and insulin resistance; however, the association between BCAA and adipokine levels remains to be clar…

Evaluation of Mental Stress in Automated Following Driving Open
Automatic driving and auxiliary driving functions are expected to improve safety and efficiency, and reduce the burden on drivers. These driving assist functions change the task of the driver not to control the vehicle but to monitor the d…

Canadian CT head rule and New Orleans Criteria in mild traumatic brain injury: comparison at a tertiary referral hospital in Japan Open
We compared Canadian computed tomography (CT) head rule (CCHR) and New Orleans Criteria (NOC) in predicting important CT findings in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). We included 142 consecutive patients with mild TBI [Glasg…

Comparison of amino acid profiles between rats subjected to forced running and voluntary running exercises Open
It has been suspected that in comparison with glucose or fatty acids, the levels of amino acids may readily change with different forms of exercise. In the present study, we measured the concentrations of amino acids, glucose, triglyceride…
