We sought to investigate the NCS-1 expression in lymphocytes and monocytes (CD4+ T lymphocytes, CD56+ NK cells, CD19+ B lymphocytes and CD14+ monocytes) of SCZ and BPD patients.

We used fetal mice and sheep to determine whether PGE2 has a role in the development of ductus contractility that is distinct from its function as a vasodilator.

Building upon existing P-value combining methods, we propose a class of highly flexible pathway analysis approaches based on an adaptive rank truncated product statistic that can effectively combine evidence of associations…

In vitro electrophysiological studies showed that bath application of TRH caused concentration-dependent membrane depolarization, decreased input resistance, and increased firing rate of identified Hcrt neurons.

Is the annoyance of snoring a reliable tool for the measurement of snoring or does it depend more on the sensitivity of the listener?

The contribution of common genetic variation to one or more established smoking behaviors was investigated in a joint analysis of two genome wide association studies.

This study was designed to determine whether the functional IL-10 gene polymorphism −1082G/A is associated with the development of cardiomyopathy in individuals infected with Trypanosoma cruzi.

P947 improved MR imaging for atherosclerosis through MMP-specific targeting. The results were validated and provide support for further assessment of P947 as a potential tool for the identification of unstable…

A number of studies suggest neuroprotective potential in human neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease.

The expression of heteromeric nAChR and receptor subunit mRNAs was investigated in the neonatal rat ENS using receptor autoradiography with the radiolabeled ligand 125I-epibatidine, and in situ hybridization with subtype specific probes for…

Here we tested whether nicotine is also beneficial when given to rats and monkeys with pre-existing nigrostriatal damage.

We used quantitative fiber tracking to examine age effects on commissural, bilateral association, and fornix fibers in young and elderly healthy men and women and tested functional correlates with concurrent…
