Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa L.) protects against menadione-induced DNA damage through scavenging of reactive oxygen species: Bioassay-directed isolation and characterization of active principles
(2002)The roots/rhizomes of Cimicifuga racemosa L. (Nutt.) (black cohosh) have traditionally been used to treat menopausal symptoms through an unknown mechanism of action. In an effort to determine if black cohosh had additional ...

Evidence for activation of the unfolded protein response in collagen iv nephropathies
(2014)Thin-basement-membrane nephropathy (TBMN) and Alport syndrome (AS) are progressive collagen IV nephropathies caused by mutations in COL4A3/A4/A5 genes. These nephropathies invariably present with microscopic hematuria and ...

Export of infectious particles by Escherichia coli transfected with the RF DNA of Pf1, a virus of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain K
(1991)Pf1 is a filamentous, single‐stranded DNA virus that has Pseudomas aeruginosa (strain K) as host. It is the longest of the filamentous bacterial viruses, and the DNA within it has the most extended conformation known. Pfl ...

Hydrophilic cationic star homopolymers based on a novel diethanol-n-methylamine dimethacrylate cross-linker for sirna transfection: Synthesis, characterization, and evaluation
(2011)Four cationic hydrophilic star homopolymers based on the novel hydrophilic, positively ionizable cross-linker bis(methacryloyloxyethyl)methylamine (BMEMA) were synthesized using sequential group transfer polymerization ...

The interplay between DSL proteins and ubiquitin ligases in Notch signaling
(2005)Lateral inhibition is a pattern refining process that generates single neural precursors from a field of equipotent cells and is mediated via Notch signaling. Of the two Notch ligands Delta and Serrate, only the former was ...

Mutant polycystin-2 induces proliferation in primary rat tubular epithelial cells in a STAT-1/p21-independent fashion accompanied instead by alterations in expression of p57KIP2 and Cdk2
(2008)Background. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the formation of multiple fluid-filled cysts that destroy the kidney architecture resulting in end-stage renal failure. Mutations in genes ...

Nanoscopic cationic methacrylate star homopolymers: Synthesis by group transfer polymerization, characterization and evaluation as transfection reagents
(2004)Seven star polymers with degrees of polymerization (DPs) of the arms from 10 to 100 and dimensions in the nanometer range were prepared using sequential group transfer polymerization of 2-(dimethylamino)-ethyl methacrylate ...

Reversal of ER-β silencing by chromatin modifying agents overrides acquired tamoxifen resistance
(2013)The purpose of this work is to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying tamoxifen resistance. We show here that ER-β is epigenetically silenced in a cell line with acquired tamoxifen resistance (MCF-7/TAM-R) and this ...

Stable transfection of an estrogen receptor beta cDNA isoform into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells
(2003)We previously reported stable transfection of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) into the ER-negative MDA-MB-231 cells (S30) as a tool to examine the mechanism of action of estrogen and antiestrogens [J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 84 ...

Article
Synthesis, characterization, and evaluation as transfection reagents of ampholytic star copolymers: Effect of star architecture
(2006)Five star polymers based on the positively ionizable hydrophilic 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and the hydrophobic but hydrolyzable tetrahydropyranyl methacrylate (THPMA) were prepared by group-transfer ...

Use of coreceptors other than CCR5 by non-syncytium-inducing adult and pediatric isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 is rare in vitro
(1998)We have tested a panel of pediatric and adult human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) primary isolates for the ability to employ the following proteins as coreceptors during viral entry: CCR1, CCR2b, CCR3, CCR4, CCR5, ...
