Multimodal Imaging of Subfoveal Pachydrusen Containing a Blood Flow Signal by Naoko Ishiguro, Takaaki Hayashi, Yoshiko Yamawaki, Kei Mizobuchi, Tsutomu Yasukawa, Shigeru Honda, Tadashi Nakano

“…During the 13-month follow-up, the blood flow signal in OCT angiography did not change in diameter, and no exudative change was observed. The blood flow signal may have properties of capillary blood vessels derived from the choriocapillaris, rather than angiogenic vessels from choroidal neovascularization or polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy/aneurysmal type 1 neovascularization.…”

Foldback Intercoil DNA and the Mechanism of DNA Transposition by Byung-Dong Kim

“…Foldback intercoil (FBI) DNA is formed by the folding back at one point of a non-helical parallel track of double-stranded DNA at as sharp as 180° and the intertwining of two double helixes within each other's major groove to form an intercoil with a diameter of 2.2 nm. FBI DNA has been suggested to mediate intra-molecular homologous recombination of a deletion and inversion. …”
