The mechanisms contributing to airway wall remodeling in asthma are under investigation to identify appropriate therapeutic targets. Bronchial myofibroblasts would represent an important target… (More)
Myofibroblasts play a key role in wound closure but their origin is poorly understood. To investigate whether fibrocytes contribute to myofibroblast population, we examined the phenotype of… (More)
INTRODUCTION
Infection of the spinal column is rare, and often recognized and treated too late. Spondylodiscitis is osteomyelitis of the spine and can cause severe symptoms. Hospital mortality is in… (More)
Diatoms are major contributors to the photosynthetic productivity of marine phytoplankton. In these organisms, fucoxanthin-chlorophyll proteins (FCPs) serve as light-harvesting proteins. We have… (More)
Most catalases are inactivated by light in a heme-sensitized and O2-dependent reaction. In leaves of the alpine plant Homogyne alpina and in the peroxisomal cores of Helianthus annuus,… (More)
The dopamine system in weaver mutant mice (B6CBA-Aw-J/A background) was studied. Dopamine was 27% lower in the olfactory tubercle, 77% lower in the frontal cortex, and 75% lower in the striatum of… (More)
A novel compound, LY83583 (6-anilino-5,8-quinolinedione), was found to lower basal levels of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in fragments of guinea-pig lung incubated in vitro. The lowering of cGMP was… (More)
Neuroblastoma is an enigmatic disease entity; some tumors disappear spontaneously without any therapy, while others progress with a fatal outcome despite the implementation of maximal modern therapy.… (More)
177Lu-labeled PSMA-617 is a promising new therapeutic agent for radioligand therapy (RLT) of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Initiated by the German Society of… (More)
