High-resolution genome screen for bone mineral density in heterogeneous stock rat [PDF]
We previously demonstrated that skeletal mass, structure, and biomechanical properties vary considerably in heterogeneous stock (HS) rat strains. In addition, we observed strong heritability for several of these skeletal phenotypes in the HS rat model ...

The use of FK-506 for small intestine llotransplantation: Inhibition of acute rejection and prevention of fatal graft-versus-host disease [PDF]
Small intestine allotransplantation in humans is not yet feasible due to the failure of the current methods of immunosuppression. FK-506, a powerful new immunosuppressive agent that is synergistic with cyclosporine, allows long-term survival of ...

Combined immunosuppressive therapy with low dose FK506 and antimetabolites in rat allogeneic heart transplantation [PDF]
Following rat heterotopic heart allotransplantation, low to lethal doses of the antimetabolites mizoribine (MIZ), RS-61443 (RS), and AZA were given alone or in combination with subtherapeutic doses of FK506 (0.04 mg/kg/day) for 14 days after ...

We show that females of the stick‐insect Megacrania batesii transfer defensive alkaloids to their offspring, providing a novel example of maternal provisioning. We also provide evidence that provisioning is enhanced by parthenogenetic reproduction in this species.

Hamster-to-rat heart and liver xenotransplantation with FK506 plus antiproliferative drugs [PDF]
Heterotopic hamster hearts transplanted to unmodified LEW rats underwent humoral rejection in 3 days. Survival was prolonged to a median of 4 days with 2 mg/kg/day FK506.

Abstract Background The characteristic feature of immune cytopenias involves the process of extravascular phagocytosis, wherein macrophages in the spleen and/or liver engage in the destruction of blood cells that have been opsonized by auto‐ or alloantibodies.
