Dextrans - Metabolism
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Dextrans'A group of glucose polymers made by certain bacteria. Dextrans are used therapeutically as plasma volume expanders and anticoagulants. They are also commonly used in biological experimentation and in industry for a wide variety of purposes. Common names: Dextrans; Rheopolyglucin; Dextran; Dextran 40; Dextran 40000; Dextran 70; Dextran 75; Dextran 80; Dextran B-1355-S; Dextran B 1355 S; Dextran B1355; Dextran B-1355; Dextran B 1355; Dextran B512; Dextran M 70; Dextran T 70; Dextran T-40; Dextran T 40; Dextran T-500; Dextran T 500; Hemodex; Hyskon |

Arcobacter butzleri induces barrier dysfunction in intestinal HT-29/B6 cells.
30 Aug 2009 
BACKGROUND: Arcobacter butzleri causes watery diarrhea and bacteremia. Although, recently, more cases of diarrhea have been caused by Arcobacter species, very little is known about its pathogenesis, the identification of which is the aim of this ... Read more...
24 Aug 2009 Macropinocytosis is a type of poorly characterized fluid-phase endocytosis that results in formation of relatively large vesicles. We report that Sonic hedgehog (Shh) protein induces macropinocytosis in the axons through activation of a noncanonical ... Read more...
A tissue-engineered model of the intestinal lacteal for evaluating lipid transport by lymphatics.
13 Aug 2009 Lacteals are the entry point of all dietary lipids into the circulation, yet little is known about the active regulation of lipid uptake by these lymphatic vessels, and there lacks in vitro models to study the lacteal-enterocyte interface. We ... Read more...
