Acetylation increases access of remodelling complexes to their nucleosome targets to enhance initiation of V(D)J recombination.
(2007-01)
Targeted chromatin remodelling is essential for many nuclear processes, including the regulation of V(D)J recombination. ATP-dependent nucleosome remodelling complexes are important players in this process whose activity ...
Actin-myosin-based contraction is responsible for apoptotic nuclear disintegration.
(2005-01)
Membrane blebbing during the apoptotic execution phase results from caspase-mediated cleavage and activation of ROCK I. Here, we show that ROCK activity, myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, MLC ATPase activity, and ...
Chemotaxis towards hyaluronan is dependent on CD44 expression and modulated by cell type variation in CD44-hyaluronan binding.
(COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2005-11-01)
The accumulation of the extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan by tumours and tumour-associated stroma promotes cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Using the Dunn chamber chemotaxis assay, we demonstrate for ...
Signalling pathways implicated in early mammary gland morphogenesis and breast cancer.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2006-08-01)
Specification of mammary epithelial cell fate occurs during embryogenesis as cells aggregate to form the mammary anlage. Within the embryonic mammary bud, a population of epithelial cells exists that will subsequently ...
High concentrations of reactive oxygen species in the BAL fluid are correlated with lung injury in rabbits after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation.
(TOHOKU UNIV MEDICAL PRESS, 2009-11-01)
Increased levels of cytokines or reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid are associated with acute lung injury after ischemia/reperfusion. We investigated the correlation of these markers ...
The level of hypotension during hemorrhagic shock is a major determinant of the post-resuscitation systemic inflammatory response: an experimental study.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-07-18)
BACKGROUND: To evaluate whether the level of hypotension during hemorrhagic shock may influence the oxidative and inflammatory responses developed during post-ischemic resuscitation. METHODS: Fifteen rabbits were equally ...
Heterogeneous proliferative potential in regenerative adult newt cardiomyocytes.
(COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2003-10-01)
Adult newt cardiomyocytes, in contrast to their mammalian counterparts, can proliferate after injury and contribute to the functional regeneration of the heart. In order to understand the mechanisms underlying this plasticity ...
