Demonstration of astrocytes in cultured amniotic fluid cells of three cases with neural-tube defect [PDF]
We have investigated the origin of rapidly adhering (RA) cells in three cases of neural tube defects (two anencephali, one encephalocele). We were able to demonstrate the presence of glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein in variable percentages (4–80 ...

Detection and characterization of Sp1 binding activity in human chondrocytes and its alterations during chondrocyte dedifferentiation. [PDF]
We have detected DNA binding activity for a synthetic oligonucleotide containing an Sp1 consensus sequence in nuclear extracts from human chondrocytes. Changes in the levels of Sp1 oligonucleotide binding activity were examined in nuclear extracts from ...

Summer time is vacation time—a chance to step away from minipreps or grant deadlines and investigate nature outside the lab. For many of us, that means a trip to the beach. But don't let those colorful umbrellas and vigilant lifeguards fool you. Every foray into nature is ultimately a battle between predator and prey.

Magnetofection potentiates gene delivery to cultured endothelial cells [PDF]
Modification of cellular functions by overexpression of genes is increasingly practised for research of signalling pathways, but restricted by limitations of low efficiency. We investigated whether the novel technique of magnetofection (MF) could enhance

Genomics, proteomics, vaccinology, transgenics, stem cell—advances in all these areas critically stack on the shoulders of tissue culture, our ability to cultivate an organism's living cells in plastic dishes. Nutritional trial and error for decades of painstaking cell gardening laid the groundwork for the several thousand human primary cell explants ...

A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies [PDF]
Early pregnancy loss occurs in 6–10% of equine pregnancies making it the main cause of reproductive wastage. Despite this, reasons for the losses are known in only 16% of cases.

Effect of oxytocin on free intracellular Ca2+ levels and progesterone release by human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
Oxytocin and its receptor are found in the corpus luteum in a variety of species, including the human. In the present study we used fura-2 microfluorimetry to investigate whether activation of the oxytocin receptor of cultured human granulosa-lutein ...
