Angiotensin II stimulates NADH and NADPH oxidase activity in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells.
The signaling pathways involved in the long-term metabolic effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) in vascular smooth muscle cells are incompletely understood but include the generation of molecules likely to affect oxidase activity.

APOE4 dysregulates autophagy in cultured cells
Human APOE4 (apolipoprotein E4 isoform) is a powerful genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD). Many groups have investigated the effect of APOE4 on the degradation of amyloid β (Aβ), the main component of plaques found in the brains of ...

Cell isolation and culture [PDF]
Cell isolation and culture are essential tools for the study of cell function. Isolated cells grown under controlled conditions can be manipulated and imaged at a level of resolution that is not possible in whole animals or even tissue explants. Recent advances have allowed for large-scale isolation and culture of primary C.

Neural networks on chemically patterned "cultured probe" electrode arrays: network growth and activity patterns [PDF]
A 'cultured probe' is a hybrid type of neural information transducer or prosthesis, for stimulation and/or recording of neural activity in the brain or the spinal cord (ventral motor region or dorsal sensory region).

Homogenization of Mammalian Cultured Cells
Satisfactory homogenization of cultured cells is a necessary prerequisite to any fractionation schedule. Protocols are given for homogenization in iso-osmotic (A) and hypo-osmotic (B) media that should be broadly applicable to any cell type and to any ...
