Inhibition of topoisomerase IIα activity in CHO K1 cells by 2- [(aminopropyl)amino]ethanethiol (WR-1065)
(1994)The aminothiol 2-[(aminopropyl)amino]ethanethiol (WR-1065) is the active thiol of the clinically studied radioprotective agent S-2-(3- aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-2721). WR-1065 is an effective radiation ...

Role of conserved intracellular motifs in Serrate signalling, cis-inhibition and endocytosis
(2006)Notch is the receptor in a signalling pathway that operates in a diverse spectrum of developmental processes. Its ligands (e.g. Serrate) are transmembrane proteins whose signalling competence is regulated by the ...

T cell receptor excision circles and HIV-1 2-LTR episomal DNA to predict AIDS in patients not receiving effective therapy
(2001)Objective: To determine whether improved prediction of AIDS-free survival following HIV-1 seroconversion is achieved by measuring HIV-1 2-LTR episomal DNA (2-LTR) circles and T cell receptor rearrangement excision circles ...

Rotenoids mediate potent cancer chemopreventive activity through transcriptional regulation of ornithine decarboxylasetissue plasminogen activator-mediated thrombolysis
(1995)For the discovery of new cancer chemopreventive agents, we have studied the potential of plant extracts to inhibit phorbol ester-induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in cell culture. Four active rotenoids were ...

Article
Retinoid X receptor-γ gene expression is developmentally regulated in the embryonic rodent peripheral nervous system
(1998)The retinoid X receptor-γ (RXRγ) is a transcription factor that belongs to the thyroid hormone/retinoid family of nuclear receptors. Previous studies have shown that RXRγ is expressed in the developing peripheral nervous ...

Coexpression of H2-Mb and H2-Ab genes during fetal and postnatal development
(1996)The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-like molecules, H2-M, have an essential role in processing and presentation of antigens by the MHC class II molecules, because functional inactivation of these genes lead ...

vavCre transgenic mice: A tool for mutagenesis in hematopoietic and endothelial lineages
(2002)Cre transgenic mice can be used to delete gene sequences flanked by loxP sites in specific somatic tissues. We have generated vavCre transgenic mice, which can be used to inactivate genes specifically in adult hematopoietic ...

Article
Comparative developmental anatomy of the murine and human definitive placentae
(2002)The placenta of eutherian mammals is a remarkable biological structure. It is composed of both zygote-derived and maternal cells, and mediates the complex interactions between the mother and the fetus that are necessary ...

Article
Trophoblast-specific gene manipulation using lentivirus-based vectors
(2007)The trophoblast layers of the mammalian placenta carry out many complex functions required to pattern the developing embryo and maintain its growth and survival in the uterine environment. Genetic disruption of many gene ...

Parental origin-specific developmental defects in mice with uniparental disomy for chromosome 12
(2000)Genetic analysis has shown that the distal portion of mouse chromosome 12 is imprinted

Article
Ets2 is necessary in trophoblast for normal embryonic anteroposterior axis development
(2006)Although the trophoblast is necessary for the growth, viability and patterning of the mammalian embryo, understanding of its patterning role is still rudimentary. Expression of the transcription factor Ets2 is restricted ...

Article
Roles for genomic imprinting and the zygotic genome in placental development
(2001)The placenta contains several types of fetomaternal interfaces where zygote-derived cells interact with maternal cells or maternal blood for the promotion of fetal growth and viability. The genetic factors regulating the ...
