Human lipodystrophies linked to mutations in A-type lamins and to HIV protease inhibitor therapy are both associated with prelamin A accumulation, oxidative stress and premature cellular senescence
Lipodystrophic syndromes associated with mutations in LMNA, encoding A-type lamins, and with HIV antiretroviral treatments share several clinical characteristics. Nuclear alterations and prelamin A accumulation h...

Comparison of outcomes after transplantation of peripheral blood stem cells versus bone marrow following an identical nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen
This is the first study to examine the outcomes in 54 patients with hematologic malignancies who received an HLA-matched related donor bone marrow (BM, n=42) or GCSF-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC, n

Long-term treatment with interleukin-1β induces insulin resistance in murine and human adipocytes
Adipose tissue inflammation has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and is probably linked to high local levels of cytokines. IL1B, a proinflammatory cytokine, may participate in...

Application of metal-chelate affinity chromatography to the study of the phosphoproteome
With the increasing importance of proteome analysis, studying the phosphoproteome is a priority for functional studies. Therefore, a rational approach to simplifying the proteome is needed. In this work, we ex...

Monte Carlo simulation of electron emission induced by swift highly charged ions: beyond the linear response approximation
Numerical simulations of ion induced electron emission from solids mostly use the first order Born approximation within the dielectric formalism to describe valence electron excitation. As a result, the yield ...

Experimental study and Monte Carlo simulation of the correlation between electron emission and stop** power for swift proton impact on amorphous carbon target
It is usually well accepted that for swift protons, the induced backward and forward electron emission yield is proportional to the projectile electronic stop** power. This was observed in particular for thi...

Altered growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. chrysanthemi in an in vitro dual culture system with the vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices growing on Daucus carota transformed roots
Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can reduce plant disease symptoms and populations of pathogens through mechanisms that are not well understood. Glomus intraradices was grown on Daucus carota transformed ro...

An Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) for Human Endogenous β-Galactoside-Binding Lectin
The S-type (thiol-dependent) or S-Lac (soluble lactose-binding) β-galactoside-specific lectins are found in a wide variety of tissue and cells (Caron et al. 1990). Human brain contains a lectin of this family tha...

Growth of asparagus in a commercial peat mix containing vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi and the effects of applied phosphorus
Commercially prepared, peat-based mycorrhizal inocula were studied for growth effects on asparagus grown under greenhouse and field (fumigated) conditions. The fungi tested were Glomus clarum (GC), G. intraradix ...
