Germ cell tumors (GCTs) occur most frequently in the gonads and are relatively rare in other
sites, such as the pineal gland, neurohypophysis, mediastinum, and retroperitoneum. GCTs …

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is useful not only for preoperative staging of gynecologic
malignancies but also for prediction of the histopathologic features of a variety of intrapelvic …

Effective and high-throughput cell sorting are critical technologies in single cell analysis in
biology, medicine and clinical applications. Especially for single cell analysis requiring high …

A fundamental challenge of biology is to understand the vast heterogeneity of cells, particularly
how cellular composition, structure, and morphology are linked to cellular physiology. …

Cellular functions are frequently exploited as processing components for integrated chemical
systems such as biochemical reactors and bioassay systems. Here, we have created a …

… The MR examinations were reviewed in retrospect by two radiologists (YOT and YO) who
were well acquainted with gynecologic MRI. We studied the size, location, and signal intensity …

Miniaturization of chemical or biochemical systems creates extremely efficient devices
exploiting the advantages of microspaces. Although they are often targeted for implanted tissue …

Natural cellular functions are increasingly exploited for integrated chemical systems such as
biochemical reactors and biosensors. We propose to utilize the intrinsic mechanical function …

Combining the strength of flow cytometry with fluorescence imaging and digital image
analysis, imaging flow cytometry is a powerful tool in diverse fields including cancer biology, …

Human iPS cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) hold promise for drug discovery for
heart diseases and cardiac toxicity tests. To utilize human iPSC-derived CMs, the …
