Perceived allergy and hypersensitivity – especially food hypersensitivity – and the consequences for children, adolescents and their families
(2007-10-26)
. In Study II telephone interviews were conducted with the parents of 230 schoolchildren, 6-18 years, with exclusion diets at school. In Study III a postal questionnaire, including the HRQL instrument CHQ-PF28 and a study-specific questionnaire...
Modulation of acetylcholine release by serotonergic 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors : a microdialysis study in the awake rat
(2007-05-25)
values of 500% (FC) and 230% (VHipp) of controls at 80 min
postinjection. On the contrary, NAS-181 injected at doses of 10 or even
20 mg/kg s.c. had no effect on basal extracellular levels of Glu and GABA
in these areas.
In summary, the present...
Studies on natural antisense RNAs and microRNAs
(2007-11-27)
Regulatory RNAs are found in all kingdoms of life and involved in
regulation of gene expression at various steps including RNA splicing,
editing, stability, modification, export, translation and chromatin
remodelling. ...
Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression : the role of histone modification and alternative splicing
(2008-01-18)
Telomerase, an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for telomeric DNA
elongation, is silent in most normal differentiated human cells due to
the tight repression of its catalytic unit, telomerase reverse
transcriptase ...

Microfluidic electrocapture in proteomic sample preparation for mass spectrometry
(2007-10-19)
Proteomics is a technology-driven discipline and very labor-intensive.
Over the last couple of years, methods with microfluidic systems have
been used to simplify analytical procedures via integration of laboratory
processes ...
Studies on the phenotype and function of osteoclasts using osteopetrotic and rachitic animal models
(2007-09-07)
acidification leads to dissolution of mineral, and secretion of
proteolytic enzymes e.g. cathepsin K (Ctsk) and matrix metalloproteinase
(MMP)-9 completes degradation of the exposed collagen. Another secreted
osteoclast enzyme, tartrate-resistant acid...
