Background/AimsAdvances in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) techniques have led to the development of expanded criteria for endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer (EGC).The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes for ESD using indication criteria.Methods : A total of 1,105 patients underwent ESD for EGC at si
Epigenetic control of gene expression during cardiac development and disease has been a topic of intense research in recent years.Advances in experimental methods to study DNA accessibility, transcription factor occupancy, and chromatin conformation capture technologies have helped identify regions House flag of chromatin structure that play a role
In contemporary manufacturing industries, composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) have become indispensable, finding extensive applications in aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, high-tech sports equipment, and more.The exceptional chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of CFRPs, including high corrosion resista
In this post-genomic era, genome-wide functional analysis is indispensable.The recent development of RNA interference techniques has enabled researchers to easily analyze gene function even in non-model organisms.On the other hand, little progress has been made in the identification and functional analyses of cis-regulatory elements in non-model or
Mediterranean regions are likely to be the most vulnerable areas to wildfires in Europe.In this context, land-use change has promoted land abandonment and the consequent accumulation of biomass (fuel) in (progressively less managed) forests and (non-forest) natural land, causing higher fire density and severity, economic damage, and land degradatio
