The purpose of this review is to synthesize the current understanding of the molecular regulation of muscle atrophy, and discusses how ongoing work should uncover more about the molecular underpinnings of muscle wasting, particularly that due to disuse.

- 1 May 1985
Five diagnostic procedures are reviewed: partial regression plots, the “hat” matrix, studentized residuals, DFITSi, and DFBETASij, to underscore the point that the diagnostics cannot be employed mechanically.
Intracellular signaling during skeletal muscle atrophy
- S. Kandarian, R. Jackman
- BiologyMuscle and Nerve
- 1 February 2006
This review focuses on the most recent findings related to intracellular signaling during muscle atrophy involving muscle ubiquitin ligases, the IGF/PI3K/Akt pathway, FOXO activity, caspase‐3 activity, and NF‐kappaB signaling and an attempt is made to construct a unifying picture of how these data can be connected to better understand atrophy.

This paper reviews the major theoretical arguments that link political democracy with economic inequality. It then shows that previous empirical analyses of the linkage have produced inconclusive…
Vascular permeability factor (VPF, VEGF) in tumor biology
VPF/VEGF has recently been found to have a role in wound healing and its expression by activated macrophages suggests that it probably also participates in certain types of chronic inflammation.
Overexpression of vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors in psoriasis
It is reported here that the hyperplastic epidermis of psoriatic skin expresses strikingly increased amounts of vascular permeability factor (VPF; vascular endothelial growth factor), a selective endothelial cell mitogen that enhances microvascular permeability.
Voter Turnout in the Industrial Democracies during the 1980s

- Economics
- 1 January 1995
There are two contending accounts of cross-national variation in voter turnout rates. One emphasizes the role of institutions and electoral attributes, whereas the other stresses cultural and…
