Therapeutic applications of lipid-coated microbubbles

…, T Porter, W Culp, R Labell, T Matsunaga… - Advanced drug delivery …, 2004 - Elsevier
… The amount of t-PA used in the in vitro experiments described above is similar to the amount
of t-PA present in vivo without administration of additional exogenous t-PA. Note that in the …

Local drug and gene delivery through microbubbles

…, M Vannan, TO Matsunaga, T McCreery - Progress in …, 2001 - Elsevier
Ultrasound contrast agents (microbubbles) lower the threshold for cavitation by ultrasound

Photoelectrochemical sterilization of microbial cells by semiconductor powders

T Matsunaga, R Tomoda, T Nakajima… - FEMS Microbiology …, 1985 - academic.oup.com
We report the novel concept of photochemical sterilization. Microbial cells were killed
photoelectrochemically with semiconductor powder (platinum-loaded titanium oxide, TiO 2 /Pt). …

Interaction between leukemic-cell VLA-4 and stromal fibronectin is a decisive factor for minimal residual disease of acute myelogenous leukemia

T Matsunaga, N Takemoto, T Sato, R Takimoto… - Nature medicine, 2003 - nature.com
Bone-marrow minimal residual disease (MRD) causes relapse after chemotherapy in patients
with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). We postulate that the drug resistance is induced …

Design and fabrication of a high-strength hydrogel with ideally homogeneous network structure from tetrahedron-like macromonomers

T Sakai, T Matsunaga, Y Yamamoto, C Ito… - …, 2008 - ACS Publications
As a new class of high-strength hydrogels, we designed a tetra-PEG gel by combining two
symmetrical tetrahedron-like macromonomers of the same size. Because the nanostructural …

Human mesenchymal stem cells xenografted directly to rat liver are differentiated into human hepatocytes without fusion

…, M Takahashi, R Takimoto, S Iyama, T Matsunaga… - Blood, 2005 - ashpublications.org
Hepatic transdifferentiation of bone marrow cells has been previously demonstrated by
intravenous administration of donor cells, which may recirculate to the liver after undergoing …

Reactive cysteine persulfides and S-polythiolation regulate oxidative stress and redox signaling

…, H Motohashi, S Fujii, T Matsunaga… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
