Naoko Aizawa,Yu Yokoyama,Naoki Chiba,Kazuko Omodaka,Masayuki Yasuda,Takaaki Otomo,Masahiko Nakamura,Nobuo Fuse,Toru Nakazawa +8 more
TL;DR: LSFG-NAVI showed favorable reproducibility in evaluation of retinal circulation of glaucoma patients, particularly in the optic disk and choroid, in a modified LSFG technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Alternative promoters provide the MITF gene with the diversity in transcriptional regulation and the capability of generating structurally different protein isoforms.
Journal ArticleDOI
