Chlorophyll(Chl)is essential for photosynthetic reactions and chloroplast development.While the enzymatic pathway for Chl biosynthesis is well established,the regulatory mechanism underlying the homeostasis of Chl lev...
Erythropoietic protoporphyria(EPP)is an extremely rare disease which is often unrecognized as diagnosis.In the recent article Lui et al describe a patient with a new diagnosis of EPP with severe liver injury.Approxima...
To investigate factors involved in the secretion of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), a superficial eggshell pigment, from shell gland epithelial cells of Japanese quail, we cultured cells in Ham’s F12 medium with calcium ch...

Objective: To investigate the role of human host heme-oxygenase-1(HO-1) in pathogenesis of cerebral malaria in the in vitro model,Methods: The effect of human host HO-1 [human brain microvascular endothelial cell(HBME...
Photodynamic diagnosis based on 5-aminolevulinic acidinduced protoporphyrin IX has been clinically applied in many fields based upon its evidenced efficacy and adequate safety. In order to establish a personalized med...
AIM:To investigate the utility of photodynamic diagnosis(PDD) using 5-aminolevulinic acid(5-ALA) to detect gastric/colorectal tumors.METHODS:This prospective single-center study investigated inter-subject variability ...
In photosynthetic organisms, tetrapyrrole-mediated retrograde signals are proposed to contribute to a bal- anced nuclear gene expression (NGE) in response to metabolic activity in chloroplasts. We followed an experi...
Protoporphyirin-IX (PP-IX) is a precursor of the biosynthesis of the hemo group, most of the cytochromes and the chlorophylls. The PP-IX is used for medical purposes, and recently a report indicated that it exhibits a...
