Microglia: activation and their significance in the central nervous system

K Nakajima, S Kohsaka - The journal of biochemistry, 2001 - academic.oup.com
Microglia are resident monocyte-lineaged cells in the brain. Their characteristic feature is that
they react to injury and diseases of the brain and become morphologically and functionally …

IL-6 cytokine family and signal transduction: a model of the cytokine system

M Hibi, K Nakajima, T Hirano - Journal of molecular medicine, 1996 - Springer
The interleukin 6 (IL-6) cytokine family, which includes IL-6, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF),
oncostatin M (OSM), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), IL-11 and cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), …

Signaling mechanisms through gp130: a model of the cytokine system

T Hirano, K Nakajima, M Hibi - Cytokine & growth factor reviews, 1997 - Elsevier
The interleukin-6 cytokine family plays roles in a wide variety of tissues and organs, including
the immune hematopoietic and nervous systems. Gp130 is a signal-transducing subunit …

Synthetic utilization of α-aminoalkyl radicals and related species in visible light photoredox catalysis

K Nakajima, Y Miyake… - Accounts of chemical …, 2016 - ACS Publications
Conspectus Single electron oxidation of amines provides an efficient way to access

First results from KamLAND: evidence for reactor antineutrino disappearance

…, M Motoki, K Nakajima, M Nakajima, T Nakajima… - Physical review …, 2003 - APS
KamLAND has measured the flux of ν e’s from distant nuclear reactors. We find fewer ν e
events than expected from standard assumptions about ν e propagation at the 99.95% CL In a …

Measurement of neutrino oscillation with KamLAND: Evidence of spectral distortion

…, T Mitsui, M Motoki, K Nakajima, H Ogawa, K Owada… - Physical review …, 2005 - APS
We present results of a study of neutrino oscillation based on a 766 ton/year exposure of
KamLAND to reactor antineutrinos. We observe 258 ν e candidate events with energies above …

Indication of Reactor Disappearance in the Double Chooz Experiment

…, D Motta, TA Mueller, Y Nagasaka, K Nakajima… - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
The Double Chooz experiment presents an indication of reactor electron antineutrino
disappearance consistent with neutrino oscillations. An observed-to-predicted ratio of events of …
