bcl-2 inhibits apoptosis of neutrophils but not their engulfment by macrophages.
Neutrophils, the most common inflammatory leukocytes, have the most limited life span of all blood cells. After they undergo apoptosis, they are recognized and engulfed by macro...
Molecular Similarity Searching Using Atom Environments, Information-Based Feature Selection, and a Naïve Bayesian Classifier
A novel technique for similarity searching is introduced. Molecules are represented by atom environments, which are fed into an information-gain-based feature selection. A naïve...
Hematopoietic Stem Cells Need Two Signals to Prevent Apoptosis; Bcl-2 Can Provide One of These, Kitl/C-KIT Signaling the Other
Growth factors can cause cells to proliferate, differentiate, survive, or die. Distinguishing between these responses is difficult in multicellular, multiparameter systems. Yet ...
Distribution and Function of Genes Concerned with Aromatic Biosynthesis in <i>Escherichia coli</i>
Pittard, James (School of Microbiology, University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), and B. J. Wallace . Distribution and function of genes concerned with aromatic biosynthesi...
Susceptibility of methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> to the essential oil of <i>Melaleuca alternifolia</i>
All 66 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus tested were susceptible to the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia, or tea tree oil, in disc diffusion and modified broth microdilut...
The Role of Awareness in Human Differential Autonomic Classical Conditioning: The Necessary‐Gate Hypothesis
ABSTRACT A “necessary‐gate” hypothesis is proposed regarding the relationship between awareness of the CS‐UCS relationship and autonomic classical conditioning. The hypothesis i...
Antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia
Melaleuca alternifolia has been used for medical purposes since Australia was colonized in 1788. Melaleuca alternifolia is commonly called tea tree, although this vernacular nam...
Reversible swelling of polyanion/polycation multilayer films in solutions of different ionic strength
Abstract Immersion of consecutively adsorbed polyanion/polycation multilayer films in solutions of different ionic strength causes reversible thickness changes. Swelling of the ...
Frequency of regulatory T cells in peripheral blood and in tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes correlates with poor prognosis in renal cell carcinoma
What’s known on the subject? and What does the study add? Treg overexpression has been demonstrated in several neoplasms, including liver, breast, pancreas and melanoma, while i...
