Kinin and Purine Signaling Contributes to Neuroblastoma Metastasis
Bone marrow metastasis occurs in approximately 350,000 patients that annually die in the U.S. alone. In view of the importance of tumor cell migration into the bone marrow, we have here investigated effects of various concentrations of stromal cell ...

Signaling from blood vessels to CNS axons through nitric oxide [PDF]
Brain function is usually perceived as being performed by neurons with the support of glial cells, the network of blood vessels situated nearby serving simply to provide nutrient and to dispose of metabolic waste.

Ribozyme für die RNA‐katalysierte Methylierung und Markierung von RNA
Ribozyme sind vielseitige Werkzeuge für die präzise Modifikation von RNA. Das Reaktionsspektrum in‐vitro‐selektierter Ribozyme reicht vom Einbau funktioneller Gruppen und Fluorophoren bis zu natürlichen RNA‐Methylierungen. Dieser Übersichtsartikel präsentiert Cofaktor‐abhängige Ribozyme für die positionsgenaue Markierung und Modifikation von RNA ...

Not more than three tissue kallikreins identified from organs of the guinea pig [PDF]
The large and varied multigene families of tissue kallikreins of rat and mouse are considered to selectively release as many bioactive peptides. In order to determine whether a similar family of enzymes is expressed in the organs of the guinea pig ...

Intravenous lanadelumab for the treatment of moderately ill COVID‐19 patients
Aims Kallikrein‐kinin system (KKS) dysregulation is hypothesized to play a pathogenetic role in COVID‐19‐associated pulmonary oedema. To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous lanadelumab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits plasma kallikrein, in COVID‐19, we conducted a phase 2, open‐label, randomized‐controlled, proof‐of‐concept ...

The novel serine protease PreR-Co promotes endothelium-independent vasorelaxation in rabbit aortic rings [PDF]
The effect of a novel enzyme (PreR-Co) that activates renal prorenin was studied on rabbit aortas with and without endothelium. It was tested 1) in the basal tone of nonstimulated or ANG II-sensitized rings or rings precontracted with norepinephrine (NE),
