Autophagy promotes degradation of internalized collagen and regulates distribution of focal adhesions to suppress cell adhesion.

Biology open

Kawano S, Torisu T, Esaki M, Torisu K, Matsuno Y, Kitazono T.
PMID: 28970230
Biol Open. 2017 Nov 15;6(11):1644-1653. doi: 10.1242/bio.027458.

Adhesion of cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM) via focal adhesions (FAs) is crucial for cell survival, migration, and differentiation. Although the regulation of FAs, including by integrins and the ECM, is important to cell behavior, how FAs are...

Interobserver concordance for endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration on-site cytopathology.

Endoscopic ultrasound

Assef M, Rossini L, Nakao F, Araki O, Bueno F, Sayeg M.
PMID: 26425515
Endosc Ultrasound. 2014 Apr;3:S15.

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is an accurate method of diagnosing and staging gastrointestinal and thoracic malignancy. A key issue in maximizing FNA accuracy is to ensure that an adequate specimen is obtained. On-site cytopathology increases the diagnostic...

Negative Checkpoint Regulatory Molecule 2B4 (CD244) Upregulation Is Associated with Invariant Natural Killer T Cell Alterations and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Disease Progression.

Frontiers in immunology

Ahmad F, Shankar EM, Yong YK, Tan HY, Ahrenstorf G, Jacobs R, Larsson M, Schmidt RE, Kamarulzaman A, Ansari AW.

Front Immunol. 2017 Mar 27;8:338. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.00338. eCollection 2017.

The CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are implicated in innate immune responses against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, the determinants of cellular dysfunction across the iNKT cells subsets are seldom defined in HIV disease. Herein, we provide...

Role of hepatectomy for recurrent or initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

World journal of hepatology

Kishi Y, Shimada K, Nara S, Esaki M, Kosuge T.
PMID: 25544870
World J Hepatol. 2014 Dec 27;6(12):836-43. doi: 10.4254/wjh.v6.i12.836.

As a result of donor shortage and high postoperative morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation, hepatectomy is the most widely applicable and reliable option for curative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Because intrahepatic tumor recurrence is frequent after loco-regional...

Hepatic flares promote rapid decline of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in patients with HBsAg seroclearance: A long-term follow-up study.

Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology

PMID: 27239443
FEBS Open Bio. 2016 Mar 03;6(4):303-16. doi: 10.1002/2211-5463.12038. eCollection 2016 Apr.

UNLABELLED: Reduced availability of l-serine limits cell proliferation and leads to an adaptation to l-serine-deficient environment, the underlying molecular mechanism of which remain largely unexplored. Genetic ablation of 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (Phgdh), which catalyzes the first step of de novo...
