Conservation of the function counts: homologous neurons express sequence-related neuropeptides that originate from different genes.

25 Aug 2009 By means of single-cell matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, we analysed neuropeptide expression in all FXPRLamide/pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide synthesizing neurons of the adult tobacco hawk ... Read more...

Overexpression of Rheb2 enhances mouse hematopoietic progenitor cell growth while impairing stem cell repopulation.

16 Aug 2009 Molecular mechanisms preserving hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal by maintaining a balance between proliferation, differentiation, and other processes are not fully understood. Hyperactivation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) ... Read more...

Intermedin/adrenomedullin-2 is a hypoxia-induced endothelial peptide that stabilizes pulmonary microvascular permeability.

12 Aug 2009 Accumulating evidence suggests a pivotal role of the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) signaling pathway in preventing damage of the lung by stabilizing pulmonary barrier function. Intermedin (IMD), also termed adrenomedullin-2, is the most ... Read more...
