Pericellular proteolysis by leukocytes and tumor cells on substrates: focal activation and the role of urokinase-type plasminogen activator
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-04)
Previous studies have shown that the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is localized to the adherence sites of leukocytes and tumor cells suggesting that pericellular proteolysis may accompany focal ...
Ion channel clustering enhances weak electric field detection by neutrophils: apparent roles of SKF96365-sensitive cation channels and myeloperoxidase trafficking in cellular responses
(Springer-Verlag; EBSA, 2005-12)
We have tested Galvanovskis and Sandblom’s prediction that ion channel clustering enhances weak electric field detection by cells as well as how the elicited signals couple to metabolic alterations. Electric field application ...
Fluorescence spectroscopic detection of mitochondrial flavoprotein redox oscillations and transient reduction of the NADPH oxidase-associated flavoprotein in leukocytes
(Springer-Verlag; EBSA, 2004-07)
Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy of leukocyte flavoproteins have been performed. Both living human peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils have been utilized as ...
Physical mapping of the nail patella syndrome interval at 9q34: ordering of STSs and ESTs
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998-11)
The murine situs inversus viscerum (iv) gene responsible for visceral asymmetry is linked tightly to the Igh-C cluster on chromosome 12
(Elsevier, 1990-07)
The iv gene controls left-right determination during murine organogenesis. To map this gene, we analyzed backcross progeny produced by mating (C57BL/6J x MEV/Ty)F1-iv/+ heterozygotes to C57BL/6J-iv homozygotes. Hybridization ...
Single retinal ganglion cell responses in the dark-reared rat: Grating acuity, contrast sensitivity, and defocusing
(Elsevier, 1978)
The visual acuity, refractive state, and depth of focus of the dark-reared hooded rat's dark-adapted eye were determined by recording the responses of retinal ganglion cell axons in the optic tract. The smallest square-wave ...
Dendritic growth of dapi-accumulating amacrine cells in the retina of the goldfish
(Elsevier, 1989-11-01)
The dendritic growth of amacrine cells was studied in the retina of the goldfish. Those cells that accumulated the intraocularly injected fluorescent dye 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) were compared in retinal wholemounts ...
Constant dendritic coverage by ganglion cells with growth of the goldfish's retina
(Elsevier, 1987)
This study demonstrates that in the retina of the goldfish a type of ganglion cell, whose dendritic development has been well characterized [Hitchcock P.F. and Easter S.S. Jr (1986) J. Neurosci. 6, 1037-1050], is distributed ...
Observation of calcium microdomains at the uropod of living morphologically polarized human neutrophils using flash lamp-based fluorescence microscopy
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-07)
The present study outlines improved strategies for ratiometric imaging of cell calcium using a flash lamp-based excitation method and its application to neutrophil polarization. A brief (∼6 Μs) and intense flash was used ...
