Integrin alpha1beta1, one of the cellular collagen receptors, can participate in the regulation of collagen accumulation by acting as a negative feedback regulator. The molecular mechanism behind this phenomenon has been unknown. We have plated cells inside three-dimensional collagen and
STAT5b (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5b) is a key mediator of the effects of plasma GH pulses on male-specific liver gene expression. STAT5b is activated in liver cells in vivo by physiological pulses of GH and then is
Fluorescence lifetime analysis was used in combination with conventional flow cytometric analysis to monitor changes in residual chromatin in apoptotic HL-60 cell populations following treatment with camptothecin, cycloheximide, genistein, H7, and gamma radiation. Data presented show that all of these
Capric acid (C10) enhanced the absorption of cefoxitin sodium in a concentration-dependent manner following the rectal administration as a suppository in rats. The optimal concentration of C10 was 13%. C10 administered as a suppository also reduced rectal membrane resistance (Rm)
This study tests the hypothesis that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) is a critical step for early recovery from spontaneous nystagmus after unilateral ablation of the vestibular periphery. Halothane-NO(2)-O(2)-anesthetized Long-Evans rats received a 5-microl intracerebroventricular bolus of vehicle (distilled
