We have previously reported that IGF-II binds the extracellular matrix protein vitronectin (VN) with an affinity similar to that for the type-1 IGF receptor (IGF-1R). In view of this finding, and given the cited role of VN in cell motility and adhesion, we ...
Type 1 diabetes is a T cell-mediated disease in which B cells serve critical Ag-presenting functions. In >95% of type 1 diabetic patients the B cell response to the glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) autoantigen is exclusively directed at conformationa ...
BACKGROUND: Existing animal models of anemia inadequately reflect the hematocrit usually present in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients and do not permit long-term treatment studies. The transgenic mouse strain 134.3LC (Epo-TAg(H)) displays a severe chron ...
The expression and activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) was investigated in leprosy, a spectral disease in which clinical manifestations correlate with the type of immune response mounted toward Mycobacterium leprae. TLR2-TLR1 heterodimers mediated cel ...
In mobile ad-hoc networks, nodes act both as terminals and information relays, and participate in a common routing protocol, such as Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). The network is vulnerable to routing misbehavior, due to faulty or malicious nodes. Misbehavi ...
We combined biophys., biochem., and pharmacol. approaches to investigate the ability of the a1a- and a1b-adrenergic receptor (AR) subtypes to form homo- and hetero-oligomers. Receptors tagged with different epitopes (hemagglutinin and Myc) or fluorescent p ...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) has been proposed as a key inhibitor of colitis through attenuation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) activity. In inflammatory bowel disease, activators of NF-kappa ...
Allergic asthma is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, eosinophilia, and mucus accumulation and is associated with increased IgE concentrations. We demonstrate here that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamm ...
The inducible production of antimicrobial peptides is a major immune response in Drosophila. The genes encoding these peptides are activated by NF-kappaB transcription factors that are controlled by two independent signaling cascades: the Toll pathway that ...
Shigellosis is an acute inflammatory bowel disease caused by the enteroinvasive bacterium SHIGELLA: Upon host cell-Shigella interaction, major host cell signalling responses are activated. Deciphering the initial molecular events is crucial to understandin ...
