Agitation or brief ultrasonication may be necessary for restoration of solutions which have been precipitated due to freezing. The methyl acetate can be removed using N2 or vacuum. Stock solutions of 1-5 mg/ml in absolute alcohol may be prepared and diluted with isotonic saline.

Changes in airway smooth muscle (ASM) phenotype may contribute to the pathogenesis of airway disease. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) switches ASM from a contractile to a proliferative, hypo-contractile phenotype, a process requiring activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p70(S6)
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a valuable source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for use in allogeneic transplantation. Key advantages of UCB are rapid availability and less stringent requirements for HLA matching. However, UCB contains an inherently limited HSC count

Accumulating evidence suggests that COX-2-derived prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) plays an important role in esophageal adenocarcinogenesis. Recently, PGE(2) receptors (EP) have been shown to be involved in colon cancer development. Since it is not known which receptors regulate PGE(2) signals in

We evaluated the effect of various PGE analogs specific to EP receptor subtypes on indomethacin-induced small intestinal lesions in rats and investigated the relationship of EP receptor subtype with the PGE action using EP receptor knockout mice. Animals were administered

This study compares the involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels and prostaglandins in various forms of gastroprotection in the rat. Instillation of 1 ml of 70% ethanol induced severe gastric mucosal damage (lesion index 39 +/- 0.8), which was substantially
