Werner Syndrome.

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology

Chen L, Oshima J.
PMID: 12488583
J Biomed Biotechnol. 2002;2(2):46-54. doi: 10.1155/S1110724302201011.

Werner syndrome is a premature aging disease caused by the mutation in the WRN gene. The cloning and characterization of the WRN gene and its product allows investigators to study the disease and the human aging process at molecular...

Recombinational DNA Repair in Cancer and Normal Cells: The Challenge of Functional Analysis.

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology

Willers H, Xia F, Powell SN.
PMID: 12488588
J Biomed Biotechnol. 2002;2(2):86-93. doi: 10.1155/S1110724302204027.

A major goal of current cancer research is to understand the functional consequences of mutations in recombinational DNA repair genes. The introduction of artificial recombination substrates into living cells has evolved into a powerful tool to perform functional analysis...

Two Novel Frame Shift, Recurrent and De Novo Mutations in the ITGB2 (CD18) Gene Causing Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency in a Highly Inbred North African Population.

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology

Fathallah DM, Jamal T, Barbouche MR, Bejaoui M, Hariz MB, Dellagi K.
PMID: 12488604
J Biomed Biotechnol. 2001;1(3):114-121. doi: 10.1155/S1110724301000250.

We have identified four different mutations causing leukocyte adhesion Deficiency (LAD) in the ITGB2 gene of patients from a highly inbred population. Two were novel single-bp deletions (1497delG and 1920delG) causing frame shift and the two others were the...

Induction of Apoptosis in Rat Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes by the Anticancer Drug CI-994 (Acetyldinaline)(*).

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology

Graziano MJ, Spoon TA, Cockrell EA, Rowse PE, Gonzales AJ.
PMID: 12488610
J Biomed Biotechnol. 2001;1(2):52-61. doi: 10.1155/S1110724301000146.

CI-994 (acetyldinaline) is an investigational anticancer drug currently in clinical trials. In preclinical safety studies in rats and dogs, CI-994 resulted in significant toxicity to bone marrow and lymphoid tissue. To determine if apoptosis was involved in CI-994 toxicity,...

The Thermal Stability of the Fusarium solani pisi Cutinase as a Function of pH.

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology

Petersen SB, Fojan P, Petersen EI, Petersen MT.
PMID: 12488611
J Biomed Biotechnol. 2001;1(2):62-69. doi: 10.1155/S1110724301000249.

We have investigated the thermal stability of the Fusarium solani pisi cutinase as a function of pH, in the range from pH 2-12. Its highest enzymatic activity coincides with the pH-range at which it displays its highest thermal stability....

Vectorial Transcellular Calcium Transport in Intestine: Integration of Current Models.

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology

Larsson D, Nemere I.
PMID: 12488574
J Biomed Biotechnol. 2002;2(3):117-119. doi: 10.1155/S1110724302205045.

In spite of decades of research, the exact subcellular pathway for calcium transport in intestine has not been elucidated. In this mini-review, we present three models for vectorial movement of calcium across the cell: facilitated (cytoplasmic) diffusion, vesicular/lysosomal transport,...

Perillyl Alcohol Inhibits Breast Cell Migration without Affecting Cell Adhesion.

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology

Wagner JE, Huff JL, Rust WL, Kingsley K, Plopper GE.
PMID: 12488578
J Biomed Biotechnol. 2002;2(3):136-140. doi: 10.1155/S1110724302207020.

The monoterpene d-limonene exhibits chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive potential in breast cancer patients. D-limonene and its related compounds, perillyl alcohol and perillyl aldehyde, were chosen as candidate drugs for application in a screen for nontoxic inhibitors of cell migration. Using...

Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Foliar Trigonelline Accumulation in Glycine Max L.

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology

Cho Y, Njiti VN, Chen X, Triwatayakorn K, Kassem MA, Meksem K, Lightfoot DA, Wood AJ.
PMID: 12488580
J Biomed Biotechnol. 2002;2(3):151-157. doi: 10.1155/S1110724302204039.

The objective of this study was to utilize a Glycine max RIL population to (1) evaluate foliar trigonelline (TRG) content in field-grown soybean, (2) determine the heritability of TRG accumulation, and (3) identify DNA markers linked to quantitative trait...

Different Forms of Vanadate on Sugar Transport in Insulin Target and Nontarget Cells.

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology

Germinario RJ, Colby-Germinario SP, Posner BI, Nahm K.
PMID: 12488596
J Biomed Biotechnol. 2002;2(1):22-30. doi: 10.1155/S1110724302000402.

The effects of several vanadates (ie, orthovanadate, pervanadate, and two stable peroxovanadium compounds) on basal and insulin-stimulated 2-DG transport in insulin target and nontarget cell lines are reported, herein. In nontarget cells, exposure to vanadates (5 x 10(-6) to...

High-Pressure Biotechnology in Medicine and Pharmaceutical Science.
