Cloning and characterization of the rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) type ii interleukin-1 receptor cdna
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2000-12-01)
A homologue of mammalian type II interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1RII) was isolated from a rainbow trout cDNA library by differential hybridization using a suppression subtractive hybridization generated probe enriched far ...
Bcl-2 polymorphism influences gray matter volume in the ventral striatum in healthy humans
(Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01)
Background: Bcl-2 is a major regulator of neural plasticity and cellular resilience. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the Bcl-2 gene, Bcl-2 rs956572, significantly modulates the expression of Bcl-2 protein and ...
Evolution of astacin-like metalloproteases in animals and their function in development
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2006-03-01)
Astacin-like metalloproteases are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom but their phylogenetic relationships and ancient functions within the Metazoa are unclear. We have cloned and characterized four astacin-like cDNAs from ...
Microrna signatures predict oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and her2/neureceptor status in breast cancer
(Springer Nature, 2009-05-11)
Introduction Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease encompassing a number of phenotypically diverse tumours. Expression levels of the oestrogen, progesterone and HER2/neu receptors which characterize clinically distinct ...
Effect of progesterone on embryo survival
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2008-07-07)
Increased genetic selection over the past 40 years has resulted in a dairy cow with an improved biological efficiency for producing milk but with an associated reduced fertility. Embryo loss is the greatest factor contributing ...
