Phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus induces a selective stress response in human monocytes-macrophages (M phi): modulation by M phi differentiation and by iron |
Phagocytosis of microorganisms represents a stress not only for the phagocytosed agent but also for the host cell. We have investigated the stress response induced in human monocytes-macrophages (M phi) phagocytosing inactivated Staphylococcus aureus. Exposure of human M phi to S. aureus induced in these cells (i) a th... |
In this paper, we consider complex Ginzburg-Landau equations of the form u t ? u + P(juj 2)u = 0 in R N where P is a polynomial of degree K with complex coeecients and is a complex number with positive real part <. If the real part of the highest coeecient of P is positive, we prove existence and regularity of a global... |
The real and personal property that African-American farm families accumulated between the 1880s and the 1930s can tell a lot about the political consciousness of the disfranchised at the height of African-American landownership. Farm women and their families invested their limited financial and labor resources into h... |
The gold-standard for breast cancer screening is xray mammography. Alongside, ultrasound scans are being used as additional source of information for patients with dense breast tissue. However, conventional ultrasound imaging is a qualitative approach and is prone to errors. Quantitative approaches can provide valuable... |
In the above mentioned paper (ibid., vol.36, p.134-6, Jan. 1988) the author represented the signal mu (t) in baseband form, and he now argues that this is an error since it results in unbounded power estimates p/sub i/. It is necessary to treat mu (t) directly as a bandpass signal. This changes the support of omega in ... |
The need for serious concern about employment opportunities for social psychologists is reinforced by previous research on employment trends for academics. Radner and Miller (1970) indicate that from 1952-64 there was an increasing student-faculty ratio in public universities and it seems likely that the ratio will fur... |
Although theoretical models predict low allocation to attractive structures with increased selfing in animal-pollinated plants, empirical measurement of the reproductive costs and benefits is complicated. Here, floral sex allocation was compared in two nectarless heterandrous species with different mating systems: Mono... |
Creating a plant-cell suspension culture involves first transferring the callus into liquid media, but there are no objective criteria for selecting the location of the callus to be transferred. In this study, inner and outer cells of Catharanthus roseus with various elicitors in solid-state cultures were differentiate... |
Today, no simple methods are available for measurements of interference signals that give a proper indication of the impact in terms of the bit error probability (BEP) on a digital radio receiver. Such measure should quantify the corresponding impact and the measurements should be relatively easy to perform. By only us... |
In many types of heart failure cardiac myocyte Ca(2+) handling is abnormal because of downregulation of key Ca(2+) - handling proteins like sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+) - ATPase (SERCA)2a and ryanodine receptor (RyR)2. The alteration in SERCA2a and RyR2 expression results in altered cytosolic Ca(2+) transients, ... |
