Open AccessEphB3 receptors function as dependence receptors to mediate oligodendrocyte cell death following contusive spinal cord injury
We demonstrate that EphB3 receptors mediate oligodendrocyte (OL) cell death in the injured spinal cord through dependence receptor mechanism. OLs in the adult spinal cord express EphB3 as well as other members...

Open AccessEphrinB3 blocks EphB3 dependence receptor functions to prevent cell death following traumatic brain injury
Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and their membrane-bound ligands, ephrins, have a variety of roles in the develo** and adult central nervous system that require direct cell–cell interactions; including regulat...

Management of pancreatic and duodenal injuries in pediatric patients
Diagnosis of duodenal and pancreatic injuries is frequently delayed, and optimal treatment is often controversial. Fourteen children with duodenal and/or pancreatic injuries secondary to blunt trauma were tre...

Enzymes and the supramolecular organization of the living cell. Information transfer within supramolecular edifices and imprinting effects
Simple considerations of statistical mechanics show that the association of an enzyme with another protein or with an ‘inert’ surface results in a decrease of its information content and thus that it receives...

Information Transfer in GAPdH-PRK Complex of Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii
We have purified a bi-enzyme complex from a green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardrii. This complex is made up of two molecules of dimeric phosphoribulokinase (PRK) and of two molecules of tetrameric glyceraldehyde-3...

Influence of cytokines on Toxoplasma gondii growth in human astrocytoma-derived cells
The effects of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 1-α (IL-1-α), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) on the growth of the Toxoplasma gondii RH strain were studied in vitro using a human astro...

Tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 alpha, and interleukin 6 mRNA expressed by human astrocytoma cells after infection by three different strains ofToxoplasma gondii
The role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of toxoplasmosis remains unknown to a large extent, especially in the case of reactivation that occurs in immunocompromised patients. To assess the importance of tumor...

Electric Repulsion Effects and the Dynamic Behaviour of Enzymes Embedded in Biological Polyelectrolytes
The dynamic behaviour of an enzyme within an insoluble polyelectrolyte, such as a membrane or a cell wall, may be quite different from the one it should display if it were in free solution.

Concept of P-Information
This paper considers the concept of P-information caused by a realised event. The difference between this concept and that of Shannon is shown. The concept of P-information is given by a code and a notion of t...

Energy-momentum quanta in Fresnel's evanescent wave
Fresnel's theory of the evanescent wave in total reflection entails that the propagation vectork and the momentum quantaħ k have an imaginary component and, thus, a projection on the reflecting plane that is larg...
