Spatial learning and long-term potentiation of mutant mice lacking d-amino-acid oxidase
- M. Maekawa, M. Watanabe, S. Yamaguchi, R. Konno, Y. Hori
- Biology, Medicine
- Neuroscience Research
- 1 September 2005
We evaluated the role of D-amino-acid oxidase on spatial learning and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus, since this enzyme metabolizes D-amino-acids, some of which enhance the… Expand

AIM
To determine which treatment modality--hepatectomy or percutaneous ablation--is more beneficial for patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (< or =4 cm) in terms of long-term outcomes.… Expand
ICOS-Mediated Costimulation on Th2 Differentiation Is Achieved by the Enhancement of IL-4 Receptor-Mediated Signaling1
- M. Watanabe, S. Watanabe, +5 authors R. Abe
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Immunology
- 15 February 2005
ICOS is the third member of the CD28 family molecules and plays a critical role in many T cell-dependent immune responses. Although accumulated data suggest that ICOS costimulatory signals play an… Expand
Evaluation of the Effects of Acupuncture on Blood Flow in Humans with Ultrasound Color Doppler Imaging
- S. Takayama, M. Watanabe, +4 authors N. Yaegashi
- Medicine
- Evidence-based complementary and alternative…
- 21 June 2012
Color Doppler imaging (CDI) can be used to noninvasively create images of human blood vessels and quantitatively evaluate blood flow in real-time. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects… Expand
Laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients.

INTRODUCTION
We have used laparoscopic hepatectomy as a surgical treatment for HCC in patients with cirrhosis. We describe the indications, evaluate invasiveness and analyze the outcomes of… Expand
Down-Regulation of ICOS Ligand by Interaction with ICOS Functions as a Regulatory Mechanism for Immune Responses1
- M. Watanabe, Y. Takagi, +7 authors R. Abe
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Immunology
- 15 April 2008
Although it is well-known that the ICOS-ICOS ligand (ICOSL) costimulatory pathway is important for many immune responses, recent accumulated evidence suggests that dysregulation of this pathway may… Expand
