There has been a great interest in application of nanoparticles as biomaterials for delivery
of therapeutic molecules such as drugs and genes, and for tissue engineering. In particular, …

Humans have long appreciated silk for its lustrous appeal and remarkable physical
properties, yet as the mysteries of silk are unraveled, it becomes clear that this outstanding …

Silks are biodegradable, biocompatible, self-assembling proteins that can also be tailored via
genetic engineering to contain specific chemical features, offering utility for drug and gene …

Background Immune checkpoint blockade therapy has shown promising results in patients
with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of …

The objectives of the DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO)
are to open a new window of observation for gravitational wave astronomy and to obtain …

Background Dual blockade of PD-L1 and VEGF has enhanced anticancer immunity through
multiple mechanisms and augmented antitumour activity in multiple malignancies. We …

We evaluate thermal noise (Brownian motion) in a rigid reference cavity used for frequency
stabilization of lasers, based on the mechanical loss of cavity materials and the numerical …

DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (DECIGO) is the future Japanese
space gravitational wave antenna. It aims at detecting various kinds of gravitational waves …

C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice are prototypical Th1-and Th2-type mouse strains, respectively. In
the present study, we attempted to characterize the innate immune response of …

… At 1 month after the procedure, we evaluated the serum levels of alpha-fetoprotein and
protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist II (PIVKA-II). We calculated the rate at which …
