Horikawa,Yuki Saito,Hirokazu Kuwahara,Hirokazu Kuwahara,Hiroko Kozuka-Hata,Tadasu Shin-I,Yohei Minakuchi,Kazuko Ohishi,Ayuko Motoyama,Tomoyuki Aizu,Atsushi Enomoto,Koyuki Kondo,Sae Tanaka,Yuichiro Hara,Shigeyuki Koshikawa,Hiroshi Sagara,Toru Miura,Shin-ichi Yokobori,Kiyoshi Miyagawa,Yutaka Suzuki,Takeo Kubo,Masaaki Oyama,Yuji Kohara,Asao Fujiyama,Asao Fujiyama,Kazuharu Arakawa,Toshiaki Katayama,Atsushi Toyoda,Takekazu Kunieda +31 more
TL;DR: Using human cultured cells, it is demonstrated that a tardigrade-unique DNA-associating protein suppresses X-ray-induced DNA damage by ∼40% and improves radiotolerance, indicating the relevance of tardigrate-unique proteins to tolerability and tardigades could be a bountiful source of new protection genes and mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis Incorporating Generative Adversarial Networks
TL;DR: The proposed method can generate more natural spectral parameters and $F_0$ than conventional minimum generation error training algorithm regardless of its hyperparameter settings, and it is found that a Wasserstein GAN minimizing the Earth-Mover's distance works the best in terms of improving the synthetic speech quality.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Non-Parallel Voice Conversion Using Variational Autoencoders Conditioned by Phonetic Posteriorgrams and D-Vectors
TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate that PPGs successfully improve both naturalness and speaker similarity of the converted speech, and both speaker codes and d-vectors can be adopted to the VAE-based many-to-many non-parallel VC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcription and Translation Products of the Cytolysin Gene psm-mec on the Mobile Genetic Element SCCmec Regulate Staphylococcus aureus Virulence
Chikara Kaito,Yuki Saito,Gentaro Nagano,Mariko Ikuo,Yosuke Omae,Yuichi Hanada,Xiao-Yan Han,Kyoko Kuwahara-Arai,Tomomi Hishinuma,Tadashi Baba,Teruyo Ito,Keiichi Hiramatsu,Kazuhisa Sekimizu +12 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that both the psm-mec transcript, acting as a regulatory RNA, and the PSM- mec protein encoded by the gene on the mobile genetic element SCCmec regulate the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional CD5+ B cells develop predominantly in the spleen of NOD/SCID/γcnull (NOG) mice transplanted either with human umbilical cord blood, bone marrow, or mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ cells
Takuya Matsumura,Yoshie Kametani,Kiyoshi Ando,Yasuyuki Hirano,Ikumi Katano,Ryoji Ito,Masashi Shiina,Hideo Tsukamoto,Yuki Saito,Yutaka Tokuda,Shunichi Kato,Mamoru Ito,Kazuo Motoyoshi,Sonoko Habu +13 more
TL;DR: The results show that adult CD34+ cells develop into functional CD5+ B cells in NOG spleen as much as fetal CD34- cells do.
