    Abstract Circadian rhythms optimally regulate numerous physiological processes in an organism and synchronize them with the external environment. The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the center of the circadian clock in mammals, is composed of multiple cell types that form a network that provides the basis for the remarkable stability of the circadian clock. Among the neuropeptides expressed in the SCN, arginine vasopressin (AVP) has attracted much attention because of its deep involvement in the function of circadian rhythms, as elucidated in particular by studies using genetically engineered mice. This review briefly summarizes the current knowledge on the peptidergic distribution and topographic neuronal organization in the SCN, the molecular mechanisms of the clock genes, and the relationship between the SCN and peripheral clocks. With respect to the physiological roles of AVP and AVP-expressing neurons, in addition to a sex-dependent action of AVP in the SCN, studies using AVP receptor knockout mice and mice genetically manipulated to alter the clock properties of AVP neurons are summarized here, highlighting its importance in maintaining circadian homeostasis and its potential as a target for therapeutic interventions.

    Abstract The Advanced Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) is a research facility instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft. We celebrated the 20th anniversary of ASTER's launch in December 1999. ASTER has been providing high spatial resolution multispectral data in the VNIR, SWIR, and TIR regions, and along-track stereo data. Starting April 2016, ASTER data have been distributed to the public at no cost. Another important and the most popular data set is the ASTER Global DEM, which covers almost the entire land surface at a 30 m grid size. ASTER data have been widely used in a variety of application areas such as land surface mapping and change detection, volcano and other natural hazard monitoring, mineral exploration, and urban heat island monitoring. This Special Issue consists of 12 papers (2 reviews, 9 articles, and 1 technical note) and covers topics including development of new techniques to process ASTER data, calibration activities to ensure long-term consistency of ASTER data, validation of the ASTER data products, and scientific achievements using ASTER data

    Abstract Mammalian glycolipids play a variety of roles, often coupled with interactions with endogenous and exogenous molecules. The interactions can induce intracellular signaling and are the means by which glycolipids express biological phenotypes. Insights into the structure-function relationships of glycolipids (both glycan and lipid moieties) provide the basis for gaining an understanding of the mechanisms at play, an important area for further study. Solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a unique and powerful method employed to provide, at the atomic level, structural information on glycolipids and other biomolecules in solutions. This chapter briefly describes how we measure NMR spectra of glycolipids and the information gained from NMR spectral analysis.

    Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are monoclonal antibodies that block key mediators of tumor-mediated immune evasion. The frequency of its use has increased rapidly and has extended to numerous cancers. ICIs target immune checkpoint molecules, such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), PD ligand 1 (PD-L1), and T cell activation, including cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (CTLA-4). However, ICI-driven alterations in the immune system can induce various immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that affect multiple organs. Among these, cutaneous irAEs are the most common and often the first to develop. Skin manifestations are characterized by a wide range of phenotypes, including maculopapular rash, psoriasiform eruption, lichen planus-like eruption, pruritus, vitiligo-like depigmentation, bullous diseases, alopecia, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis. In terms of pathogenesis, the mechanism of cutaneous irAEs remains unclear. Still, several hypotheses have been proposed, including activation of T cells against common antigens in normal tissues and tumor cells, increased release of proinflammatory cytokines associated with immune-related effects in specific tissues/organs, association with specific human leukocyte antigen variants and organ-specific irAEs, and acceleration of concurrent medication-induced drug eruptions. Based on recent literature, this review provides an overview of each ICI-induced skin manifestation and epidemiology and focuses on the mechanisms underlying cutaneous irAEs.

    Abstract Embryos of Xenopus laevis were exposed to 0.4 M LiCl for 5 min at various stages of development. The effect of lithium on the larval body pattern could be detected from the 2-cell to the late gastrula stage, but changed from reduction of posterior structures ("anteriorization") to reduction of anterior structures ("posteriorization") just after the 12th cleavage, the time of midblastula transition (MBT). Temporal coincidence of MBT with alteration of the effect of lithium was observed even with embryos derived from half-egg fragment, in which MBT occurs just after the 11th cleavage. These results suggest the existence of a mechanism for formation of the basic plan of the larval body whose function changes at MBT. Combinations of the pre- and post-MBT exposures to lithium induced marked posteriorization in most larvae, indicating that the basic plan is not irreversibly determined until MBT, but is fixed during post-MBT stages.

    Abstract Mammalian hibernation is a survival strategy characterized by metabolic suppression and drastically lowering body temperature (Tb), used during harsh seasons with food shortages and cold. The Syrian hamster commences hibernation in response to a short photoperiod and cold but spontaneously concludes hibernation after several months without environmental cues. Little is known about the changes in diel rhythms during hibernation. Using long-term and high-resolution Tb data, we analysed the diel Tb rhythm time-course changes in Syrian hamsters raised under summer-like conditions (long photoperiod (LP) and warm; LP-warm) and transferred to winter-like conditions (short photoperiod (SP) and cold; SP-cold). The diel Tb rhythm was undetectable during the hibernation period (HIBP), reappearing after the HIBP. The phase of this returning rhythm reverted to the LP entrainment phase characteristics despite the ambient SP and then re-entrained to the ambient SP as if the hamsters were transferred from the LP-warm to SP-cold conditions. The diel Tb rhythm reverted from the SP- to LP-type in a hibernation-dependent manner. Under constant dark and cold conditions, the circadian Tb rhythm recovered without photic stimuli following the HIBP. These findings suggest that hibernation involves a program that anticipates the ambient photoperiod when animals emerge from hibernation.
