ATP, the main biological energy currency, is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate
by ATP synthase in an energy-requiring reaction 1 , 2 , 3 . The F 1 portion of ATP synthase, …

Background and Purpose— The Middle Cerebral Artery Embolism Local Fibrinolytic
Intervention Trial (MELT) Japan was organized to determine the safety and clinical efficacy of …

A highly conserved eukaryotic protein SGT1 binds specifically to the molecular chaperone,
HSP90. In plants, SGT1 positively regulates disease resistance conferred by many …

Blast disease is a devastating fungal disease of rice, one of the world’s staple foods. Race-specific
resistance to blast disease has usually not been durable. Here, we report the cloning …

RAR1 and its interacting partner SGT1 play a central role in plant disease resistance triggered
by a number of resistance (R) proteins. We identified cytosolic heat shock protein 90 (…

Background and Purpose— Gradient-echo T2*-weighted MRI is uniquely sensitive to detect
silent, old hemosiderin deposits, but the clinical significance of such “microbleeds” remains …

The Arabidopsis protein RPM1 activates disease resistance in response to Pseudomonas
syringae proteins targeted to the inside of the host cell via the bacterial type III delivery system. …

A clinicopathological study on X-linked recessive bulbospinal neuronopathy was undertaken
on 9 cases, with morphological observations on 3 autopsied cases and sural nerve …

New sorbents for the desulfurization of liquid fuels were developed using π-complexation.
Vapor-phase adsorption isotherms were investigated to understand the interaction between …

An in vivo technique was developed for measuring the absolute myocardial blood flow with
H215O and dynamic positron-emission tomography. This technique was based on a new …
