Red Blood Cells Stimulate Human Lung Fibroblasts to Secrete Interleukin-8
Following lung injury, red blood cells (RBC) may interact with extracellular matrix (ECM). Fibroblasts, the resident cell in the ECM, have the capacity to produce and secrete a variety of mediators including i...

Red blood cells stimulate fibroblast-mediated contraction of three dimensional collagen gels in co-culture
Objective and design: Following injury, red blood cells (RBC) may interact with extracellular matrix (ECM). In the present study we hypothesised that RBC, and soluble factors from RBC, ...

The Gabbro-Dolerite Magmatism of the Foum Zguid Region: Relation to Deep Structure of Morocco and Possible Potential for Cobalt, Nickel and Platinum-Group Metals
The territory of Morocco has been used to test a model of block structure of the lithospere, in which block boundaries guide magmatism and predetermine the most favorable places for the concentration of metals...

Cerebral microangiopathy in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats
The morphology of cerebral microvessels was studied immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally in 6- to 9-month-old normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and stroke-pron...

Blood-brain barrier leakage and brain edema in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats
Brain edema associated with severe chronic hypertension was studied in stroke-prone spontaneously neously hypertensive rats (SHRSP), 5 to 9 months of age. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage sites and intracereb...

Fine-structure measurements for highly excited F states of cesium
The fine-structure splittings of highly excited F-states in Cs were measured using high-resolution laser spectroscopy. The 12 and 132F states were found to be inverted with splittings ΔE (122F)=−522(3) MHz and ΔE...

Measurement of the fine-structure splitting of the 42 D state of lithium using level-crossing spectroscopy
The fine-structure splitting of the 42 D state in lithium was measured using stepwise laser excitation combined with level-crossing spectroscopy. The splitting was determined to be 456.2(0.8) MHz, a considerably ...

Meteoritic, lunar and lonar impact chondrules
Impact-generated silicate spherules from the Lonar Crater, India and from all Apollo sites are analogous to meteoritic chondrules (and some microtektites). Thus, the impact origin of chondrules, first proposed...
