Development of Simple, Objective Chair-Standing Assessment of Physical Function in Older Individuals Using a Kinect™ Sensor
With increasing interest in addressing quality of life of older individuals, tests such as the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) are widely used measures of infirmity and burden of care. However, these sca...

Sphingosine kinase-1 is a downstream regulator of imatinib-induced apoptosis in chronic myeloid leukemia cells
We examined the involvement of sphingosine kinase-1 (SphK1), which governs the ceramide/sphingosine-1-phosphate balance, in susceptibility to imatinib of either sensitive or resistant chronic myeloid leukemia ...

Overcoming MDR-associated chemoresistance in HL-60 acute myeloid leukemia cells by targeting shingosine kinase-1
We examined the involvement of sphingosine kinase-1, a critical regulator of the sphingolipid balance, in susceptibility to antineoplastic agents of either sensitive or multidrug-resistant acute myeloid leukem...

Intracellular processing of measles virus fusion protein
Intracellular processing of measles virus fusion (F) protein was studied by radiolabeling and immunoprecipitation with a monoclonal antibody against F protein. The cleavage of F protein into F1 and F2 subunits wa...

Effect of carboxylic ionophores on measles virus hemagglutinin protein
We have studied the effect of two carboxylic ionophores, monensin and laidlomycin, on the replication of measles virus in KB cells. The yield of infectious virus was markedly depressed at the concentrations of...

Proteolysis, a Determinant for Virus Pathogenicity
Pathogenicity, i.e., the ability of a virus to induce disease in the infected organism, is the result of a complex interplay of a multitude of factors that are determined by the biological, biochemical, and ge...
