Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, March 2024.Although islet transplantation has the potential to serve as a curative treatment for type 1 diabetes, there are many hurdles to achieving long‐term islet graft survival. This review discusses the recent advances in strategies to improve islet survival function using exogenous compounds and conformal coatings as a promising tool for improving islet ...

Stimulation of body weight increase and epiphyseal cartilage growth by insulin like growth factor [PDF]
The ability of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) to induce growth in hypophysectomized immature rats was tested by continuous infusion of the partially purified factor at daily doses of 6, 21, and 46 mU for an 8-day period.

Non-nutritional strategies to improve lactation persistency in dairy ewes [PDF]
, 2005 Milk production is largely dependent on the shape of the lactation curve. Important elements in the lactation pattern are the peak yield, which is the maximum milk yield during lactation, and lactation persistency, which is the ability of animals to ...

Overexpression of RPI1, a novel inhibitor of the yeast Ras-cyclic AMP pathway, down-regulates normal but not mutationally activated ras function [PDF]
, 1991 A high-copy-number plasmid genomic library was screened for genes that when overexpressed down-regulate Ras protein activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Somatolactogens, Somatomedins, and Immunity
Journal of Dairy Science, 1993 The neuroendocrine and immune systems participate as active partners in host homeostatic and defense mechanisms. This partnership involves a complex intercommunication system employing an array of shared ligands and receptors. Hormones of the somatolactogen family have marked influences on immune events in vivo, including the maintenance of lymphoid ...

Associação do polimorfismo do gene do hormônio de crescimento com a característica peso em bovinos da raça Nelore. [PDF]
, 2011 O polimorfismo do gene do hormônio de crescimento bovino (bGH) foi estudado em 211 bovinos machos da raça Nelore, puros de origem (PO), a fim de observar as freqüências genenotípicas e alélicas, e a possível associação com a característica peso.

Analysis of the reduced growth factor dependency of simian virus 40-transformed 3T3 cells [PDF]
, 1984 We have measured in a defined serum-free medium the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin requirements of normal Swiss 3T3 cells, simian virus 40-transformed 3T3 cells, and partial revertants of simian virus 40-transformed 3T3 cells.
