Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are essential diagnostic markers in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Among the 30 ANA patterns, homogeneous (AC-1) and dense fine speckled (AC-2) should be focused on owing to their somewhat indistinct presentation in

Decellularized diaphragmatic muscle drives a constructive angiogenic response in vivo [PDF]
Skeletal muscle tissue engineering (TE) aims to efficiently repair large congenital and acquired defects. Biological acellular scaffolds are considered a good tool for TE, as decellularization allows structural preservation of tissue extracellular matrix

Sirtuin1 protects endothelial Caveolin-1 expression and preserves endothelial function via suppressing miR-204 and endoplasmic reticulum stress. [PDF]
Sirtuin1 (Sirt1) is a class III histone deacetylase that regulates a variety of physiological processes, including endothelial function. Caveolin1 (Cav1) is also an important determinant of endothelial function. We asked if Sirt1 governs endothelial Cav1

Constitutively active transforming growth factor β receptor 1 in the mouse ovary promotes tumorigenesis [PDF]
Despite the well-established tumor suppressive role of TGFβ proteins, depletion of key TGFβ signaling components in the mouse ovary does not induce a growth advantage.

Role of protein kinase C in inhibition of renin release caused by vasoconstrictors [PDF]
It was the aim of the present study to get insight into some of the intracellular mechanisms by which the vasoconstrictor hormones angiotensin II (ANG II), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and norepinephrine (NE) inhibit renin release from renal ...

Immuno and affinity cytochemical analysis of cell wall composition in the moss Physcomitrella patens
In contrast to homeohydric vascular plants, mosses employ a poikilohydric strategy for surviving in the dry aerial environment. A detailed understanding of the structure, composition, and development of moss cell walls can contribute to our understanding

Seed-Specific Expression of Apolipoprotein A-IMilano Dimer in Engineered Rice Lines
Apolipoprotein A-IMilano (ApoA-IM) has been shown to significantly reduce coronary atherosclerotic plaques. However, the preparation of cost-effective pharmaceutical formulations of ApoA-IM is limited by the high cost and difficulty of purifying the ...

Characterization of cells of amniotic fluids by immunological identification of intermediate-sized filaments: Presence of cells of different tissue origin [PDF]
Antibodies against intermediate-sized filaments, of the prekeratin or vimentin type, were used to investigate the presence of these filaments by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy in cultured and non-cultured amniotic fluid cells, in frozen sections ...
