Takayanagi S, Chuganji S, Tanaka M, Wang B, Hasegawa S, Fukumoto K, et al.
Commun Biol . 2024 Jun; 7(1):685. PMID: 38834758
Memory T cells demonstrate superior in vivo persistence and antitumor efficacy. However, methods for manufacturing less differentiated T cells are not yet well-established. Here, we show that producing chimeric antigen...

Kang D, Louis F, Liu H, Shimoda H, Nishiyama Y, Nozawa H, et al.
Nat Commun . 2021 Aug; 12(1):5059. PMID: 34429413
With the current interest in cultured meat, mammalian cell-based meat has mostly been unstructured. There is thus still a high demand for artificial steak-like meat. We demonstrate in vitro construction...

Sci Rep . 2016 Jan; 6:18849. PMID: 26732094
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multi-functional growth factors that belong to the TGF-beta superfamily. Recently, several soluble BMP receptors, such as ActRIIA-Fc, ActRIIB-Fc, and ALK1-Fc, are undergoing clinical trials. Both...

Fujita N, Ichii M, Maeda T, Saitoh N, Yokota T, Yamawaki K, et al.
Exp Hematol . 2015 Jul; 43(11):963-973.e4. PMID: 26213229
Recent studies have revealed the crucial role of the niche which supports B-lymphocyte differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells. In this study, we aimed to identify a novel regulator of B...

Yokota T, Oritani K, Sudo T, Ishibashi T, Doi Y, Habuchi Y, et al.
Eur J Immunol . 2015 Feb; 45(5):1390-401. PMID: 25676235
Mammals have evolved to protect their offspring during early fetal development. Elaborated mechanisms induce tolerance in the maternal immune system for the fetus. Female hormones, mainly estrogen, play a role...

Yamawaki K, Ueda S, Okada T, Oshima T, Kakitani M, Kato T, et al.
PLoS One . 2013 Nov; 8(10):e78076. PMID: 24205096
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)/growth differentiation factors (GDFs), which belong to the TGF-beta superfamily, are pleiotropic factors that play a role in regulating the embryonic development and postnatal homeostasis of various...

Yamada W, Nagao K, Horikoshi K, Fujikura A, Ikeda E, Inagaki Y, et al.
Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 2009 Feb; 381(3):453-8. PMID: 19233133
In vertebrates, craniofacial formation is accomplished by synergistic interaction of many small elements which are generated independently from distinct germ layers. Because of its complexity, the imbalance of one signaling...

Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 2009 Feb; 381(4):482-6. PMID: 19233126
NaPi-IIb encodes a Na(+)-dependent Pi co-transporter, which is expressed in various adult tissues and mediates transport of extracellular Pi ions coupling with Na(+) ion. To define the role of NaPi-IIbin...

Hum Mol Genet . 2008 Feb; 17(9):1278-91. PMID: 18250097
In mammals, female development has traditionally been considered a default process in the absence of the testis-determining gene, Sry. Recently, it has been documented that the gene for R-spondin1 (RSPO1),...

Cell Cycle . 2005 Dec; 5(1):23-6. PMID: 16357527
The R-spondin (Rspo) protein family is a recently described group of four distinct human secreted proteins. Reported activities for Rspo proteins include essential roles in vertebrate development and their ligand-type...
