Chemoattractants as causative agents, biomarkers and therapeutic targets in vascular pathology
(2006-09-22)
Atherosclerosis and restenosis are driven by chronic immune response in the vascular wall. This involves cell migration into and within the vessel wall, cell proliferation as well as accumulation of lipids in the vessel ...

to the LNX proteins. Immunohistochemistry of a 16.5 day old embryo showed that both CAR and LNX2 were highly expressed during development and showed similar subcellular distribution in a subset of vessels.
Finally, in the fourth study the role of CAR...

completeness of the Cancer Register of 98.3%, while the site-specific accuracy was only 63% for esophageal adenocarcinoma, 74% for gastric cardia adenocarcinoma, and 91% for esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma. The increasing incidence rate of esophageal...
Nicotinic transmission and drugs in anesthesia : neuromuscular blocking agents and propofol : consequences for carotid body function
(2006-02-17)
The carotid body is the global oxygen sensor of the human body. Acute hypoxia elicits instant hyperventilation mediated from the carotid body type 1 cells, where nicotinic transmission is a key component in oxygen sensing ...
Modulation of natural killer cell and T-cell functions by CD94/NKG2A receptors
(2006-08-21)
Natural Killer (NK) cells constitute a subset of lymphocytes capable of cytokine production and/or cellular cytotoxicity. Although NK cells can be activated experimentally by a multitude of agents, the in vivo mechanisms ...
