Despite their sympathetic neuroblast origin, highly malignant neuroblastoma tumors and derived cell lines have no or low expression of the neurotrophin receptor genes, trkA and trkC. Expression of exogenous trkA in neuroblastoma cells restores their ability to differentiate in response to nerve growth factor (NGF). Here we show that stable expression of trkC in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells resulted

The Lie algebra Sl(2)(F) is "deformed" using twisted derivations satisfying a twisted Leibniz rule. Some particular algebras appearing in this deformation scheme are discussed.

Treatment of [Os-3(mu-H)(2)(CO)(10)] with the chiral diphosphines BINAP, tolBINAP [(R)-2,2'-bis(di-4-tolylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl], DIOP [(4R,5R)-(-)-O-isopropenylidene-2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino) butane] affords [Os-3(mu-H)(2)(CO)(8)(mu-L)] (L = BINAP (1), tolBINAP (2), DIOP (4)) in high yield. The X-ray structures for 1, 2 and 4 are reported, and structural and spectroscopic comp

In the modified SX-700 monochromator installed at beam line I411, the focusing before the exit slit is achieved by a plane elliptical mirror. Like in the original SX-700 design, the resolution is mainly limited by the slope errors of the focusing mirror. A simple method to improve the resolution is to replace the focusing mirror by one with smaller slope errors. The effects of replacing the refocu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ur ett evolutionärt perspektiv har förmågan att lagra energi varit fördelaktig när tillgången på föda varit begränsad. I våra dagar i västvärlden råder det ingen brist på mat och vår förmåga att lagra energi har istället blivit en börda i dubbel bemärkelse. Energi lagras i kroppen framförallt i form av fett, s.k. triglycerider. Övervikt och fetma kan idag sägas utgöra eHormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) has a wide tissue distribution with the highest expression found in white adipose tissue (WAT). HSL also has a unique ability to hydrolyze a large panel of substrates including acylglycerols, cholesteryl esters and retinyl esters. HSL is potentially a new drug target for the treatment of obesity and type II diabetes. However, as HSL is not only expressed in adipose t

1,5-Anhydro-D-fructose (AF) is a monosaccharide occurring in edible morels, red seaweeds and certain mammalian tissues. It can be formed directly from starch and glycogen in vivo by alpha-1,4-glucan lyase (EC 4.2.2.13). In this study, the toxicity, absorption and metabolism of AF using bacteria, mammalian cells, rat and mouse models were examined. In Ames test, AF showed no genotoxicity using five

The transverse momentum dependence of the azimuthal anisotropy parameter v(2), the second harmonic of the azimuthal distribution, for electrons at midrapidity (vertical bar eta vertical bar < 0.35) has been measured with the PHENIX detector in Au+Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The measurement was made with respect to the reaction plane defined at high rapidities (vertical bar eta vertical

Purpose: To investigate whether previously reported changes in protein expression of middle and long (M/L) and short (S) wavelength cone opsin pigments in cultured retina are correlated with changes in their gene expression. Additionally, to elucidate the importance of a functional retinal pigment epithelium for the development of photoreceptor outer segments. Methods: Neonatal rat retinas were ma

To determine the functions of fibromodulin (Fmod), a small leucine-rich keratan sulfate proteoglycan in tooth formation, we investigated the distribution of Fmod in dental tissues by immunohistochemistry and characterized the dental phenotype of 1-day-old Fmod-deficient mice using light and transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry was also used to compare the relative protein express
