Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of antimicrobial agents for veterinary use in the ecotoxicity test using microalgae.

TL;DR: Growth inhibition by sulfa drugs was reduced by the addition of folic acid, indicating that they inhibit folate synthesis in green algae.
Journal ArticleDOI

AlkB homolog 3-mediated tRNA demethylation promotes protein synthesis in cancer cells

TL;DR: This study found that ALKBH3 effectively demethylated 1-meA and 3-meC within endogenously methylated RNA and identified N6-methyladenine in mammalian transfer RNA (tRNA) as a novel AL KBH3 substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of interindividual differences in hepatic functions and drug sensitivity by using human iPS-derived hepatocytes

TL;DR: It is found that cytochrome P450 metabolism capacity and drug responsiveness of the primary human hepatocytes–human induced pluripotent stem cells–hepatocyte-like cells (PHH-iPS-HLCs) were highly correlated with those of PHHs, suggesting that the PHH- iPS- HLCs retained donor-specific CYP metabolism capacityand drug responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosynthetic regulation of phytochelatins, heavy metal-binding peptides

TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms for PC biosynthesis and functions are introduced in order to supply basic information about the unique and attractive peptides applicable to various fields.
