Going to Court to Change Japan
No full text"Going to Court to Change Japan takes us inside movements dealing with causes as disparate as death by overwork, the rights of the deaf, access to prisoners on death row, consumer product safety, workers whose companies go bankrupt, and persons convicted of crimes they did not commit. Each of the six fascinating case studies stands on its own as a detailed account of how a social movement has persisted against heavy odds to pursue a cause through the use of the courts.
The studies pay particular attention to the relationship between the social movement and the lawyers who handle their cases, usually pro bono or for minimal fees. Through these case studies we learn much about how the law operates in Japan as well as how social movements mobilize and innovate to pursue their goals using legal channels. The book also provides a general introduction to the Japanese legal system and a look at how recent legal reforms are working.
Going to Court to Change Japan will interest social scientists, lawyers, and anyone interested in the inner workings of contemporary Japan. It is suitable for use in a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses on Japan in social sciences and law, and can also provide a comparative perspective to general courses in these fields. Contributors include John H. Davis Jr., Daniel H. Foote, Patricia L. Maclachlan, Karen Nakamura, Scott North, Patricia G. Steinhoff, and Christena Turner.

Cardiac stem cells: Tales, mysteries and promises in heart generation and regeneration
No full textFor long time, the heart was categorized as a post-mitotic organ, unable to undergo substantial renewal during the adult life. The heart scenario was opposite to the situation of other organs such as the liver, the skin and the bone marrow, whose ability to regenerate has been known for longtime. Today, several proofs exist that the heart has a self renewal capacity similar to that in other organs due to the discovery of resident stem cells that have been shown to produce new myocytes throughout the adult life. If the discovery of stem cells in the heart has resolved the issue of myocardial renewal, it has not resolved yet the issue of the best biological treatment to efficiently repair myocardium after ischemic damage. In fact, up to date, no clear indication exists about the identity of progenitor cells that are best suited as biological drugs for myocardial repair. In addition, despite the always growing number of publications describing the ability of cardiac and non-cardiac derived cells to repair the ischemic heart in preclinical models, the limited, although remarkable, clinical benefits obtained in first generation clinical trials in patients, have raised the issue of stem cell-mediated cardiac repair efficiency. In this contribution, the present and the future of heart repair will be outlined in the view of the most recent advancements in the understanding of basic biology, preclinical testing and clinical translation
