Copurification of actin and desmin from chicken smooth muscle and their copolymerization in vitro to intermediate filaments [PDF]
Desmin is a 50,000-mol wt protein that is enriched along with 100-A filaments in chicken gizzard that has been extracted with 1 M KI. Although 1 M KI removes most of the actin from gizzard, a small fraction of this protein remains persistently insoluble,

Phenotypic characterization of human prostatic stromal cells in primary cultures derived from human tissue samples [PDF]
Emerging evidence has shown that the tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression. However, the mechanism(s) through which stromal cells regulate epithelial cells and the differences among prostatic ...

Fibrotic and Vascular Remodelling of Colonic Wall in Patients with Active Ulcerative Colitis [PDF]
open16noIntestinal fibrosis is a complication of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Although fibrostenosis is a rare event in ulcerative colitis [UC], there is evidence that a fibrotic rearrangement of the colon occurs in the later stages.
