Inhibition of Vesicular Glutamate Uptake by Rose Bengal-Related Compounds: Structure–Activity Relationship
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-03)
Synaptic vesicular accumulation of glutamate is a vital initial step in glutamate transmission. We have previously shown that Rose Bengal, a polyhalogenated fluorescein analog, is a potent inhibitor of glutamate uptake ...
Number of contractions to maintain mass and force of a denervated rat muscle
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-07)
Within 5 weeks, denervated extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of rats lose 66% of mass, 91% of force, and 76% of fiber cross-sectional area (CSA). We previously determined the parameters of electrical stimulation for ...
Cellular expression of Midkine-a and Midkine-b during retinal development and photoreceptor regeneration in zebrafish
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-05-01)
In the retina of adult teleosts, stem cells are sustained in two specialized niches: the ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) and the microenvironment surrounding adult MÜller glia. Recently, MÜller glia were identified as the ...
Imaging Changes after Stereotactic Radiosurgery of Primary and Secondary Malignant Brain Tumors
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-01)
After radiosurgery of malignant tumors, it can be difficult to discriminate between transient treatment effects, radiation necrosis, and tumor progression on post-treatment imaging. Misinterpretation of an enlarging lesion ...
Functional characterization of mouse α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors stably expressed in HEK293T cells
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2004-12)
Mouse α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAchRs) were stably expressed in HEK293T cells. The function of this stable cell line, termed mmα4β2, was assessed using an aequorin-based luminescence method that measures ...

The bicoherence theory of situational irony
(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2001-09)
Situational irony concerns what it is about a situation that causes people to describe it as ironic. Although situational irony is as complex and commonplace as verbal and literary irony, it has received nowhere near the ...
Diabetic neuropathy: inhibitory G protein dysfunction involves PKC-dependent phosphorylation of G oα
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2003-08)
We examined the hypothesis that decreased inhibitory G protein function in diabetic neuropathy is associated with increased protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent phosphorylation of the G oα subunit. Streptozotocin-induced ...
c-Fos expression in preoptic nuclei as a marker of sleep rebound in the rat
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009-08)
Temporal pattern of C1q deposition after transient focal cerebral ischemia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-04)
Recent studies have focused on elucidating the contribution of individual complement proteins to post-ischemic cellular injury. As the timing of complement activation and deposition after cerebral ischemia is not well ...
