Association between Low Plasma Phylloquinone Concentration and Warfarin Sensitivity in Japanese Patients
Warfarin sensitivity exhibits marked interindividual variability, partly explained by genetic polymorphisms affecting vitamin K (VK) metabolism. However, the association between plasma VK concentrations and warfarin sensitivity remains u...

Radio-Biological Enhancement of an Interleukin-6 Receptor Antibody by the β-Particle-Emitting Radionuclide Iodine-131 in Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy defined by the accumulation of neoplastic plasma cells in the bone marrow. Although novel therapies have improved outcomes in patients with MM, most cases eventually relapse and become re...

Impact of Host α2-Antiplasmin Deficiency on Engraftment and the Morphological Maturation of Transplanted Neural Precursor Cells in the Mouse Brain
Neural precursor cell (NPC) transplantation is a promising therapeutic strategy for reconstructing damaged neuronal circuits and achieving functional recovery in neurological diseases. However, the impact of the host microenvironment on ...

Effects of ONO-6950, a Novel Dual Cysteinyl Leukotriene 1 and 2 Receptor Antagonist, in a Rat Model of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
The effects of ONO-6950, a novel dual antagonist of cysteinyl leukotriene 1 (CysLT1) and 2 (CysLT2) receptors, were examined in a monocrotaline-induced rat model of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The effects were compared with th...

Spondin 1 Enriched in p16Ink4a Reporter-Labeled Fibroblasts Promotes Melanoma Cell Proliferation in Vitro and Is Associated with Poor Prognosis
The tumor microenvironment contains phenotypically diverse stromal cells that can support tumor progression; however, the identity and function of stromal populations expressing the senescence marker p16Ink4a in melanoma remain poorly de...

Extracting Symptoms Relevant to Geriatric Syndromes from Japanese Pharmaceutical Care Records: A Natural Language Processing Analysis
Geriatric syndromes are multifactorial conditions associated with adverse outcomes in older adults, but how community pharmacists capture related symptoms remains unclear. Therefore, a natural language processing (NLP) model was used to ...

Influence of Hepatocellular Senescence on Serum Amyloid A Expression and Response to Proinflammatory Cytokines under Steatotic Conditions
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an apolipoprotein produced mainly by the liver. SAA1 is upregulated during inflammation, whereas SAA4 is constitutively expressed and is generally considered to be unresponsive to proinflammatory cytokines. Howev...

Inhibition and Knockdown of Monocarboxylate Transporter 1 Induce L-Lactate Accumulation in T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells
Tumors exhibit the Warburg effect, characterized by elevated glucose metabolism through both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis to produce energy. To maintain intracellular pH and metabolic homeostasis, cancer cells depend on monoc...

Engineered Inflammation-Triggering Macrophages (MacTrigger) Synergize Anti-CD47 Immunotherapy While Sparing Normal Tissues
CD47 has attracted considerable attention as a therapeutic immune checkpoint target; however, its clinical efficacy as monotherapy remains limited, mainly due to an M2-rich tumor environment. These limitations highlight the need for comb...

Inhibitory Effects of Fatty Acids on Orai1-Mediated Contraction in Guinea Pig Gastric Fundus Smooth Muscle and Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry in 293T Cells
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), mediated by stromal interaction molecule (STIM) and Orai proteins, plays a key role in smooth muscle contraction. We previously demonstrated that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) inhibits Orai1-dependent SOCE ...
