Control of tnf-induced dendritic cell maturation by hybrid-type n-glycans
(The American Association of Immunologists, 2011-03-21)The activity of alpha-1,2-mannosidase I is required for the conversion of high-mannose to hybrid-type (ConA reactive) and complex-type N-glycans (Phaseolus vulgaris-leukoagglutinin [PHA-L] reactive) during posttranslational ... -
Differentiation of vascular stem cells contributes to ectopic calcification of atherosclerotic plaque
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-02-27)The cellular and molecular basis of vascular calcification (VC) in atherosclerosis is not fully understood. Here, we investigate role of resident/circulating progenitor cells in VC and contribution of inflammatory plaque ... -
Distributed cortical phase synchronization in the eeg reveals parallel attention and working memory processes involved in the attentional blink
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-03-05)Attentional blink (AB) describes a visuo-perceptual phenomenon in which the second of 2 targets within a rapid serial visual presentation stream is not detected. There are several cognitive models attempting to explain the ... -
Dna polymerase ε associates with the elongating form of rna polymerase ii and nascent transcripts
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2006-11-15)DNA polymerase epsilon co-operates with polymerases alpha and delta in the replicative DNA synthesis of eukaryotic cells. We describe here a specific physical interaction between DNA polymerase epsilon and RNA polymerase ... -
Expression levels of her2/neu and those of collocated genes at 17q12-21, in breast cancer
(Spandidos Publications, 2012-04-23)HER2/neu is associated with poorer clinical outcome in breast cancer. Expression patterns of co-localised cancer-associated genes at 17q12-21 were examined using RT-PCR. The study group consisted of a 96-patient cohort. ... -
Salvia officinalis for hot flushes: towards determination of mechanism of activity and active principles
(Thieme Publishing Group, 2013-05-13)Herbal medicinal products are commonly used in alternative treatment of menopausal hot flushes. In a recent clinical study, Salvia officinalis tincture was found to reduce hot flush frequency and intensity. The aim of the ... -
The effect of menopause and hysterectomy on systemic vascular endothelial growth factor in women undergoing surgery for breast cancer
(Springer Nature, 2008-09-30)Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic cytokine produced physiologically by the uterus. Pathological secretion by tumours promotes growth and metastasis. High circulating VEGF levels ...
