Elemental balancing of biomass and medium composition enhances growth capacity in high-density Chlorella vulgaris cultures
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-09-05)
The basic requirements for high-density photoautotrophic microalgal cultures in enclosed photobioreactors are a powerful light source and proper distribution of light, efficient gas exchange, and suitable medium composition. ...
Optimizing seeding and culture methods to engineer smooth muscle tissue on biodegradable polymer matrices
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-01-05)
The engineering of functional smooth muscle (SM) tissue is critical if one hopes to successfully replace the large number of tissues containing an SM component with engineered equivalents. This study reports on the effects ...
Regulation of fucosyltransferase-VII expression in peripheral lymph node high endothelial venules
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, 1998-10)
Binding of L-selectin to the highly glycosylated peripheral lymph node addressins (PNAd) plays a central role in the normal recirculation of lymphocytes between the bloodstream and the lymph node. This interaction requires ...
Both TNF receptors are required for direct TNF-mediated cytotoxicity in microvascular endothelial cells
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, 1998-11)
The conditions under which tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF) induces apoptosis in primary microvascular endothelial cells (MVEC) were investigated. In the absence of sensitizing agents, TNF induced apoptosis after 3 days of ...
Decay-accelerating factor is a component of subendothelial extracellular matrix in vitro , and is augmented by activation of endothelial protein kinase C
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, 1998-03)
The vasculature is protected from complement activation by regulatory molecules expressed on endothelial cells. However, complement fixation also occurs on subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) in vitro, and is ...
Stability of the contractile assembly and Ca 2+ - activated tension in adenovirus infected adult cardiac myocytes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-04)
Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer into adult cardiac myocytes in primary culture is a potentially useful method to study the structure and function of the contractile apparatus. However, the consequences of adenovirus ...
Spatial determinants of specificity in insulin action
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-05)
Insulin is a potent stimulator of intermediary metabolism, however the basis for the remarkable specificity of insulin's stimulation of these pathways remains largely unknown. This review focuses on the role compartmentalization ...
Isolation and Immunocytochemical Characterization of Three Tachykinin-Related Peptides from the Mosquito, Culex salinarius
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-02)
Three myotropic peptides belonging to the Arg-amide insect tachykinin family were isolated from whole-body extracts of the mosquito, Culex salinarius . The peptides, APSGFMGMR-NH 2 , APYGFTGMR-NH 2 and APSGFFGMR-NH 2 ...
Cell cycle dependence of retroviral transduction: An issue of overlapping time scales
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-04-20)
Recombinant retroviruses are currently used as gene delivery vehicles for the purpose of gene therapy. It is generally believed that the efficiency of retroviral transduction depends on the cell cycle status of the target ...
Effects of Mild Hypothermia on the Release of Regional Glutamate and Glycine During Extended Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Rats
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
The present study is to determine the effect of mild hypothermia (MHT) on the release of glutamate and glycine in rats subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. The relationship between amino acid ...
