Cross-linking agents that induce DNA interstrand cross-links (ICL) are widely used in
anticancer chemotherapy. Yeast genetic studies show that nucleotide excision repair (NER) …

The growth autonomy of human tumor cells is considered due to the endogenous production
of growth factors. Transcriptional expression of candidates for autocrine stimulatory factors …

✓ Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is a mitogen, a differentiation factor for neuroectoderm-
derived cells, and a potent angiogenic factor. The authors have previously demonstrated …

Object The authors evaluated the clinical impact of combining functional neuronavigation
with subcortical electrical stimulation to preserve motor function following the removal of …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of early optic canal unroofing on
visual function in patients with meningiomas of the tuberculum sellae and planum …

Atypical and anaplastic meningiomas frequently recur in the relatively short-term after
surgery. We have followed such postoperative cases by short-interval repeated MRI and …

✓ Prominent features of moyamoya disease are fibrocellular thickening of the intima and
enhanced angiogenesis. The pathogenesis of moyamoya disease is, however, unknown …

Mutations of the p53 gene are found in various human cancers. The frequency of its
mutation is reported to increase during tumor progression in most tumors. In human gliomas …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the Liliequist membrane in healthy volunteers by using three-
dimensional (3D) Fourier transformation constructive interference in steady state (CISS) …

Purpose: Current morphology-based glioma classification methods do not adequately reflect
the complex biology of gliomas, thus limiting their prognostic ability. In this study, we focused …
