Reassessing the role of foot power in human gait

Q. Yetman, L. Welte, A. Shimizu, M. J. Rainbow

This study reassesses the role of foot power in human gait, finding that positive foot power primarily posteriorly tilts the talus to support upright gait rather than directly propelling the center of mass forward.

Reprogramming of three-dimensional microenvironments for in vitro hair follicle induction

T. Kageyama, A. Shimizu, R. Anakama, R. Nakajima, K. Suzuki, Y. Okubo, J. Fukuda

This paper demonstrates the in vitro induction of hair follicles by reprogramming three-dimensional microenvironments through controlled epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, resulting in the formation of hair follicloids with functional hair shafts.

Resistance to chemical carcinogenesis induction via a dampened inflammatory response in naked mole-rats

K. Oka, S. Fujioka, Y. Kawamura, Y. Komohara, T. Chujo, K. Sekiguchi, Y. Yamamura, Y. Oiwa, N. Omamiuda-Ishikawa, S. Komaki, Y. Sutoh, S. Sakurai, K. Tomizawa, H. Bono, A. Shimizu, , K. Miura

This study shows naked mole-rats (NMRs) resist chemical carcinogenesis through reduced inflammatory responses linked to necroptosis deficiency.

Polygamous breeding system identified in the distylous genus Psychotria: P. manillensis in the Ryukyu archipelago, Japan

K. Watanabe, A. Shimizu, T. Sugawara

The paper identifies a polygamous breeding system in Psychotria manillensis, including monoecious, female, male, and hermaphroditic individuals, marking the first such report in distylous species.

Designed PKC-targeting bryostatin analogs modulate innate immunity and neuroinflammation

E. Abramson, C. Hardman, A. Shimizu, S. Hwang, L. D. Hester, S. H. Snyder, P. A. Wender, P. M. Kim, M. D. Kornberg

The paper shows that bryologs, synthetic analogs of bryostatin-1, reduce neuroinflammation by targeting PKC in innate immune cells, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents for neuroinflammatory diseases.

Genome sequencing of ion-beam-induced mutants facilitates the detection of candidate genes responsible for phenotypes of mutants in rice

Y. Oono, H. Ichida, R. Morita, S. Nozawa, K. Satoh, A. Shimizu, T. Abe, H. Kato, Y. Hase

The paper uses whole-exome sequencing to identify mutations in ion-beam-induced rice mutants, finding high-impact mutations linked to mutant phenotypes.
