During the developmental processes of embryos, cells undergo massive deformation and
division that are regulated by mechanical cues. However, little is known about how embryonic …

Ventral tail bending, which is transient but pronounced, is found in many chordate embryos
and constitutes an interesting model of how tissue interactions control embryo shape. Here, …

The tailbud stage is part of the organogenesis period—an evolutionarily conserved
developmental period among chordates that is essential for determining the characteristics of the …

Chordate tailbud embryos have similar morphological features, including a bending tail. A
recent study revealed that the actomyosin of the notochord changes the contractility and drive …

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is diagnosed by positive result of reverse
transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the novel coronavirus. We concluded …

Introduction Although infectious endocarditis (IE) is a potentially severe infectious disease,
there are no prognostic tools for in-hospital mortality for IE patients. This is the first report …

Introduction While the early diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is crucial and could lead to
a favorable outcome, it is difficult to differentiate NF from cellulitis, resulting in delay for the …

… The specimens obtained previously from respiratory samples were incubated on Brucella
H–K agar (Kyokuto Pharmaceutical Inc., Tokyo, Japan) with 5% horse blood at 35 C for 48 h in …
