Evolutionary Relationships Among Food Habit, Loss of Flight, and Reproductive Traits: Life-History Evolution in the Silphinae (Coleoptera: Silphidae) (2008)

Hiroshi Ikeda, Takashi Kagaya, Kohei Kubota, Toshio Abe

Flightlessness in insects is generally thought to have evolved due to changes in habitat environment or habitat isolation. Loss of flight may have changed reproductive traits in insects, but very few...

Virological effects and safety of combined double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) and interferon therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C: A preliminary study (2006)

Yamashita, Tatsuya, Arai, Kuniaki, Sakai, Akito, Mizukoshi, Eishiro, Sakai, Yoshio, Kagaya, Takashi, ...

Purpose: In patients with chronic genotype 1b hepatitis C and a high viral load, the viral load was reduced by double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP), followed by combined interferon and ribavirin...

Litter patch types determine macroinvertebrate assemblages in pools of a Japanese headwater stream (2004)

Sohei Kobayashi, Takashi Kagaya

In forested streams, litter patches are important microhabitats for macroinvertebrates, and the nature of litter patches can affect structure and function of macroinvertebrate assemblages. We...

Blocking TNF-α in mice reduces colorectal carcinogenesis associated with chronic colitis

Popivanova, Boryana K., Kitamura, Kazuya, Wu, Yu, Kondo, Toshikazu, Kagaya, Takashi, Kaneko, Shiuchi, ...

The inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis (UC) frequently progresses to colon cancer. To understand the mechanisms by which UC patients develop colon carcinomas, we used a mouse model of the...
