Demonstration of correlations between clinical and physical image quality measures in chest and lumbar spine screen-film radiography
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2001-06)
The ability to predict clinical image quality from physical measures is useful for optimization in diagnostic radiology. In this work, clinical and physical assessments of image quality are compared and correlations between ...
Short tandem repeat profiling provides an international reference standard for human cell lines
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2001-07-03)
Cross-contamination between cell lines is a longstanding and frequent cause of scientific misrepresentation. Estimates from national testing services indicate that up to 36% of cell lines are of a different origin or species ...
Structure-based design of selective and potent G quadruplex-mediated telomerase inhibitors
(2001-04-24)
The telomerase enzyme is a potential therapeutic target in many human cancers. A series of potent inhibitors has been designed by computer modeling, which exploit the unique structural features of quadruplex DNA, These ...
Stabilisation of TG-and AG-containing antiparrallel DNA triplexes by triplex-binding ligands
(2001-05-01)
Stabilisation of TG-and AG-containing antiparrallel DNA triplexes by triplex-binding ligands. We have used DNase I footprinting to examine the interaction of several tripler-binding ligands with antiparallel TG- and AG- ...
A mutation in the Gsk3-binding domain of zebrafish Masterblind/Axin1 leads to a fate transformation of telencephalon and eyes to diencephalon
(2001-06-01)
Zebrafish embryos homozygous for the masterblind (mb1) mutation exhibit a striking phenotype in which the eyes and telencephalon are reduced or absent and diencephalic fates expand to the front of the brain. Here we show ...
High levels of the MDM2 oncogene in paediatric rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines may confer multidrug resistance
(2001-11-30)
The MDM2 protein is known to be overexpressed in some sarcomas including rhabdomyosarcoma. However, the extent to which the MDM2 protein influences sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs is unclear. We have analysed this ...
PRH represses transcription in hematopoietic cells by at least two independent mechanisms
(2001-01-26)
PRH (proline-rich homeodomain protein) is strongly expressed in the hematopoietic compartment, Here we show that PRH is a repressor of transcription in hematopoietic cells. A fragment of PRH that includes the homeodomain ...
