Melanoma is a malignant tumor occurring typically in the skin. Advanced melanoma has very poor prognosis, and is also called the “king of cancer”. On the other hand, early-stage me...
Good mass transfer and high cell density culture are required for bioreactors using animal cells. These criteria can be met by fabricating a tissue in the bioreactor. In the presen...
Ventricular activation time (AT [ms]) is the time required to activate the ventricle electrically. The influences of AT on hemodynamics are of interest in clinical studies on metho...
To relieve or manage stress, objective assessment of stress is required. Instead of direct assessment of stress, we have been investigating whether responses to emotional stimuli a...
A simple time-lapse cinematography (TLC) device was developed to enable detection, at the cleavage stages, of embryos that have the potential to develop into high-scoring blastocys...
Sweating, the intermittent secretion of fluid from the sweat glands, is an indispensable mechanism for the regulation of body temperature. The methods used to measure the sweat rat...
In recent years, surgeries requiring high surgical skills – including laparoscopic surgery and function-preserving surgery – are being more commonly conducted, which has led to the...
Moving-mask lithography with backside exposure was utilized to generate master male mold for biodegradable polymer microneedle production. The microneedle shape was calculated from...
By integrating locally operated, small surgical robots and devices, a surgeon can perform, robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery safely and accurately. However, no locally oper...
In brain function measurements by near-infrared spectroscopy, improving the measurement accuracy and expanding the measurement region are important for analyzing brain functional c...
Alpha-band (8–13 Hz) rhythm during encoding of sequentially presenting memory items was recorded using a 76-channel magnetoencephalograph. In a memory task, seven images each with ...
Scale parameters are used to combine two or more models in different scales into one integrative model. One of the crucial issues in the research field of biosimulation in hemodyna...
The purpose of this study was to develop an automated method without user interaction for selecting the optimal data acquisition window in magnetic resonance coronary angiography (...
Endolymphatic hydrops is a disorder in which an excessive amount of endolymph fluid causes an increase in the pressure of the endolymphatic system of the inner ear. In cochlea, end...
In this study, balancing capability in the longitudinal direction during rising from the seated position in the elderly was evaluated. In particular, the influence of the rising sp...
We investigated the effects of two prominent aromas, lavender and jasmine, on peripheral and cardiac autonomic nervous system activity under stressful conditions, in a highly repro...
The purpose of this study was to clarify the stiffness of the anterior tibial muscle in the stance and swing phases during walking. Electrical stimulation was applied to the common...
Recently, decellularized liver (DC-liver) has been developed as a scaffold for the generation of liver tissue because DC-liver has a vascular structure that is used for oxygen deli...
Hypertrophic scars are frequently observed at wound sites that had been subjected to cyclical stretch stimuli, such as skin of the anterior chest wall and lower abdomen. Previous s...
Body motions required for postural control while standing on a marine craft have not yet been characterized despite the popularity of such vehicles. It also remains unclear whether...
