The thyroid gland is an organ primarily composed of endoderm-derived follicular cells. Although disturbed embryonic development of the thyroid gland leads to congenital hypothyroidism in humans and mammals, the underlying principles of thyroid organogenesis are largely unknown. In this study, we introduce zebrafish as a model to investigate the molecular and genetic mechanisms that control thyr...

OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that compared to healthy controls, long-term abstinent substance dependent individuals (SDI) will differ in their effective connectivity between large-scale brain networks and demonstrate increased directional information from executive control to interoception-, reward-, and habit-related networks. In addition, using graph theory to compare network efficiencies we pre...

Four groups of mice immunized with Sendai virus in different ways, namely convalescent (CT), intrapertoneally (IP) or intranasally (IN) immunized with the inactivated virus and non-immunized (NOI), were challenged and examined degree of immunity and body weight changes. Degree of immunity assessed based on the antibodies, the lung lesions and the lung viral titers was higher in order of CT, IP,...

In view of the importance of noi se in physiology. information processing and fi nance, studi es on chaos and noi se have been undertaken. Detailed stud ies on the lal lowing osc illatory reactions have been undertaken: (i) thi ophenol + BrO,' + H2S0~, (ii ) fruClose + BrO,' + H2S04 + Ce 4 + , and (iii ) iodate + arsenitc, wh ich can serve as a model system for thi s purposc. Aperiodic oscil la...

A long time-series study was conducted over 15 yr (1989–2004) to measure particulate organic carbon (POC) flux as an estimate of food supply reaching .4,000-m depth in the northeast Pacific. Sequencing sediment traps were moored at 3,500-and 4,050-m depth, 600 and 50 m above the seafloor, respectively, to collect sinking particulate matter with 10-d resolution. POC fluxes were compared with thr...
