BACKGROUND: Diffusion tensor (DT) imaging-based fiber tracking is a noninvasive magnetic
resonance technique that can delineate the course of white matter fibers. OBJECTIVE: To …

Glioblastoma is the most malignant type of primary brain tumor that has been shown to contain
a small population of cancer stem cells. Recent studies have suggested that cancer stem …

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant brain tumor and a
subpopulation of glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) is likely responsible for the invariable recurrence …

Image-guided neurosurgery using navigation systems is an essential tool to increase accuracy
in brain tumor surgery. However, brain shift during surgery has remained problematic. …

OBJECTIVE High invasiveness of malignant gliomas frequently causes early local recurrence
of the tumor, resulting in extremely poor outcome. To control such recurrence, novel …

Cardiovascular disease is a primary cause of mortality worldwide. Therefore, it is of major
interest to identify sensitive molecular markers that predict cardiovascular events and point to …

Glioma-initiating cells (GIC) have stem-like cell properties thought to be sufficient for
recurrence, progression, and drug resistance in glioblastomas. In the present study, we defined …

Key points Both uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and UCP3 are important for mammalian
thermoregulation. UCP1 and UCP3 in brown adipose tissue mediate early and late phases of …

Proinflammatory cytokines are factors that induce ubiquitin-proteasomedependent proteolysis
in skeletal muscle, causing muscle atrophy. Although isoflavones, as potent antioxidative …

Simultaneous activation of bile acid receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and G protein-coupled
bile acid receptor 1 (TGR5) by INT-767 significantly reduces atherosclerotic formation. …
