An Archimedean planar spiral antenna is numerically analyzed in the presence of a conducting
plane reflector. The analysis shows that the spiral antenna backed by the plane reflector …

The cellular events that precede myelination in the peripheral nervous system require rapid
and dynamic morphological changes in the Schwann cell. These events are thought to be …

A radiation element, designated as a curl antenna, is proposed for a circularly polarized
antenna. The radiation characteristics of the curl are numerically analyzed. The gain is …

Neurotrophins are recognized widely as essential factors in the developing nervous system.
Previously, we demonstrated that neurotrophin 3 activation of TrkC inhibits Schwann cell …

The radiation characteristics of a low-profile loop antenna are evaluated using the method
of moments (MoM). The loop having a circumference of approximately two wavelengths is …

Two types of modified dipole antennas, zigzag and meander-line types, are analyzed and
the shortening ratios are calculated. A zigzag dipole antenna with a wire length of 0.58 …

Cell polarity is critical in various cellular processes ranging from cell migration to asymmetric
cell division and axon and dendrite specification. Similarly, myelination by Schwann cells is …

An infinitesimally thin spiral antenna, sandwiched by bottom and top dielectric layers having
the same relative permittivity, is analyzed under the condition that the dielectric layers are of …

During development and nerve injury, complex interactions between glial cells and neurons
are essential for establishing proper nerve function. Neurotrophins play multiple roles in the …

Small GTPases of the Rho family play key roles in the formation of neuronal axons and
dendrites by transducing signals from guidance cues, such as neurotrophins, to the actin …
