γ-Cleavage of β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) in the middle of the cell membrane generates
amyloid β protein (Aβ), and ϵ-cleavage, ∼10 residues downstream of the γ-cleavage site…

We previously showed that β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) is cleaved not only in the
middle of the membrane (γ-cleavage) but also at novel cleavage sites close to the membrane/…

To examine how γ- and ε-cleavages of β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) are related, each
cleavage site was replaced with a stretch of Trp that cannot be cleaved by γ-secretase. …

Poly(l-malic acid), PM, production by the non-growing cells of Aureobasidium sp. strain A-91
was investigated. Reaction conditions were optimized using non-growing cells of strain A-91…

Preincubation with interleukin-2 (IL-2), a T cell-derived cytokine, enhanced the increase in
intracellular Ca 2+ ([Ca 2+ ] i ) induced by angiotensin II (AII) in vascular smooth muscle cells (…

Background Despite the introduction of plasmapheresis and immunoglobulin therapy, many
patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome still have an incomplete recovery. Evidence from …

This thesis investigates how prosodic phrasing influences listeners' interpretation of scopally
ambiguous wh-questions in Japanese. It focuses on sentences such as that in (1), in which …

Objective: Clinical studies have suggested the beneficial effects of statin therapy on diastolic
heart failure. However, the mechanism of the beneficial effects of statin on diastolic heart …

Iron accumulation is associated with the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular diseases.
However, the preventive effects of iron restriction (IR) against cardiovascular disease remain …

This paper will explore the prosodic phrasing of scrambled sentences in Japanese.
Specifically, it investigates constraints that can account for the prosodic structure of scrambled …
