Cathepsin K, but Not Cathepsins B, L, or S, Is Abundantly Expressed in Human Osteoclasts (*)
Random high throughput sequencing of a human osteoclast cDNA library was employed to identify novel osteoclast-expressed genes. Of the 5475 ESTs obtained, approximately 4% encoded cathepsin K, a… Expand

Characterization of a novel brain‐derived microglial cell line isolated from neonatal rat brain
We observed highly aggressively proliferating immortalized (HAPI) cells growing in cultures that had been enriched for microglia. The cells were initially obtained from mixed glial cultures prepared… Expand

Transferrin and Iron in Normal, Alzheimer's Disease, and Parkinson's Disease Brain Regions
Abstract: Oxidant‐mediated damage is suspected to be involved in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders. Iron promotes conversion of hydrogen peroxide to hydroxyl radical and, thus,… Expand
