Far-infrared rays control prostate cancer cells _in vitro_ and _in vivo_ (2008)

Hiroki Shima, Shingo Yamamoto, Jun Qiu, Mayumi Shincho, Seiichi Hirota, Yoshie Yoshikawa, ...

We introduce a new effective method to control hormone refractory prostate cancer cells by using an activated rubber/resin form (RB), far-infrared ray emitter, with or without sodium butyrate (SB)....

Fabrication of an optimal urethral graft using collagen-sponge tubes reinforced with copoly(L-lactide/epsilon-caprolactone) fabric (2007)

Kanatani, Isao, Kanematsu, Akihiro, Inatsugu, Yasuyuki, Imamura, Masaaki, Negoro, Hiromitsu, Ito, Noriyuki, ...

Basic fibroblast growth factor modulates proliferation and collagen expression in urinary bladder smooth muscle cells (2007)

Imamura, Masaaki, Kanematsu, Akihiro, Yamamoto, Shingo, Kimura, Yu, Kanatani, Isao, Ito, Noriyuki, ...

A nontoxic mutant of cholera toxin elicits Th2-type responses for enhanced mucosal immunity

Yamamoto, Shingo, Kiyono, Hiroshi, Yamamoto, Masafumi, Imaoka, Koichi, Yamamoto, Miho, Fujihashi, Kohtaro, ...

We have characterized a nontoxic mutant of cholera toxin (CT) as a mucosal adjuvant in mice. The mutant CT was made by substitution of serine with phenylalanine at position 61 of the A subunit...

Induction of Smooth Muscle Cell-Like Phenotype in Marrow-Derived Cells among Regenerating Urinary Bladder Smooth Muscle Cells

Kanematsu, Akihiro, Yamamoto, Shingo, Iwai-Kanai, Eri, Kanatani, Isao, Imamura, Masaaki, Adam, Rosalyn M., ...

Tissue regeneration on acellular matrix grafts has great potential for therapeutic organ reconstruction. However, hollow organs such as the bladder require smooth muscle cell regeneration, the...

Escherichia coli Isolates Associated with Uncomplicated and Complicated Cystitis and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Possess Similar Phylogenies, Virulence Genes, and O-Serogroup Profiles▿

Takahashi, Akira, Kanamaru, Sojun, Kurazono, Hisao, Kunishima, Yasuharu, Tsukamoto, Taiji, Ogawa, Osamu, ...

The genetic and serological characteristics of Escherichia coli isolates from patients with uncomplicated cystitis (UC), complicated cystitis (CC), and complicated asymptomatic bacteriuria (CASB)...

Mutants in the ADP-ribosyltransferase Cleft of Cholera Toxin Lack Diarrheagenicity but Retain Adjuvanticity

Yamamoto, Shingo, Takeda, Yoshifumi, Yamamoto, Masafumi, Kurazono, Hisao, Imaoka, Koichi, Yamamoto, Miho, ...

Cholera toxin (CT), the most commonly used mucosal adjuvant in experimental animals, is unsuitable for humans because of potent diarrhea-inducing properties. We have constructed two CT-A subunit...
