Asymmetry in brain modulation of the immune system has been previously described. In mice, paw preference has been shown to be associated with immune reactivity but the mechanisms involved in such an association are not yet known. The autonomic nervous sys ...
An antiserum (R4) from a rabbit immunized with suspensions of C57BL/61 ob/ob mouse islet cells contains antibodies which in a 125I-protein A radioligand assay can be demonstrated to bind to single cell suspensions of normal Naval Medical Research Institute ...
The endocrine cells of the pancreas develop from the endoderm and yet display several characteristics of a neuronal phenotype. During embryonic life, ductal epithelial cells give rise to first the glugagon-producing cells (alpha-cells) and then cells that ...
The distribution of VIP binding sites in rat kidney and adrenal gland has been examined by light microscopic autoradiography. A fully characterized mono-iodinated molecular form of VIP (M-125-I-VIP) which maintains the biological activity of the native pep ...
An ordered segregation requires distinct processes of differentiation within the germ cell for recognition and segregation of homologous chromosomes/chromatids. These include synchronous maturation of the nucleus and cytoplasm, chromosome pairing and assem ...
A significant number of diploid oocytes is ovulated from adult NMRI/Han mice treated with high doses of gonadotrophins. This inhibition of the first meiotic division is very likely caused by an altered communication between the germ cell and the surroundin ...
Changes in calcium concentration were induced by an infusion of disodium-EDTA or calcium in 2 members of a family suffering from hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia ( FHH ) associated with interstitial lung disease. These changes in calcium demonstrated an invers ...
In animals, growth is regulated by the complex interplay between paracrine and endocrine signals. When food is scarce, tissues compete for nutrients, leading to critical resource allocation and prioritization. Little is known about how the immune system ma ...
