Role of acid efflux during growth promotion of primary leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L. by hormones and light
(Springer-Verlag, 1989-04)
The white-light-(WL) induced enlargement of dicotyledonous leaf cells is known to occur via an acid-growth mechanism; i.e., WL causes leaf cells to excrete protons which lead to an increase in wall extensibility and thus ...
Semi-quantitative ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy and single-photon emission tomography for evaluation of lung volume reduction surgery candidates: description and prediction of clinical outcome
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1999-06)
Ventilation/perfusion scans with single-photon emission tomography (SPET) were reviewed to determine their usefulness in the evaluation of lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) candidates, and as a predictor of outcome after ...
Structural characterization of the catalytic domain of the human 5-lipoxygenase enzyme
(Springer-Verlag, 2002-04)
Leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators involved in several diseases. The enzyme 5-lipoxygenase initiates the synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. Little structural information is available regarding 5-lipoxygenase. ...
Disparate gene expression of chemotactic cytokines by human mononuclear phagocytes
(Elsevier, 1990-01-30)
Chemotactic cytokines are becoming increasingly recognized as important participants in the coordinate recruitment of specific inflammatory cells. In this manuscript we present data demonstrating that LPS challenged human ...
TLR9 activation is a key event for the maintenance of a mycobacterial antigen-elicited pulmonary granulomatous response
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2007-10)
Type 1 (Th1) granulomas can be studied in mice sensitized with mycobacterium antigens followed by challenge of agarose beads covalently coupled to purified protein derivative. TLR9 is known to play a role in the regulation ...
