Relationship between intracranial hemodynamics and microdialysis markers of energy metabolism and glutamate-glutamine turnover in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clinical article.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between hemodynamics (intracranial and systemic) and brain tissue energy metabolism, and between hemodynamics and glutamate (Glt)-glutamine (Gln) cycle activity. METHODS: Brain ... Read more...

Fam83h is associated with intracellular vesicles and ADHCAI.

30 Oct 2009 Defects in FAM83H on human chromosome 8q24.3 cause autosomal-dominant hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta (ADHCAI). FAM83H does not encode a recognizable signal peptide, so we predicted that the Fam83h protein functions within the cell. We tested ... Read more...

Structure-affinity relationships of glutamine mimics incorporated into phosphopeptides targeted to the SH2 domain of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.

6 Oct 2009 In cancer cells, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) participates in aberrant growth, survival, angiogenesis, and invasion signals and is a validated target for anticancer drug design. We are targeting its SH2 domain to ... Read more...
