Cancer-associated differences in acetylcholinesterase activity in bronchial aspirates from patients with lung cancer.

29 Sep 2008 In non-neuronal contexts, ACh (acetylcholine) is thought to be involved in the regulation of vital cell functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and cell-cell interaction. In airways, most cells express the non-neuronal ... Read more...

Neurotrophic activity of extracts from distal stumps of pre-degenerated peripheral rat nerves varies according to molecular mass spectrum.

29 Sep 2008 OBJECTIVE: We investigated neurotrophic activity of extracts from pre-degenerated and non-pre-degenerated peripheral nerves (complete extracts and extracts with fractions of narrower range of molecular weight) on the injured hippocampus. METHODS: ... Read more...

A pre-intervention study of malaria vector abundance in Rio Muni, Equatorial Guinea: their role in malaria transmission and the incidence of insecticide resistance alleles.

27 Sep 2008 BACKGROUND: Following the success of the malaria control intervention on the island of Bioko, malaria control by the use of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLITN) was extended to Rio Muni, on the mainland ... Read more...
