Neurite outgrowth induced by an endothelial cell mitogen isolated from retina
(Rockefeller University Press, 1986)
Retina-derived growth factor (RDGF) is a polypeptide growth factor purified from salt extracts of bovine retinas on the basis of its mitogenic activity for capillary endothelial cells (EC) and BALB/c 3T3 cells. RDGF is ...
Microvascular pericytes contain muscle and nonmuscle actins
(Rockefeller University Press, 1985)
We have affinity-fractionated rabbit antiactin immunoglobulins (IgG) into classes that bind preferentially to either muscle or nonmuscle actins. The pools of muscle- and nonmuscle-specific actin antibodies were used in ...
Endothelial cell mitogens derived from retina and hypothalamus: biochemical and biological similarities
(Rockefeller University Press, 1984)
Bovine retina and hypothalamus contain anionic endothelial cell mitogens that display unusual affinities for the negatively charged glycosaminoglycan heparin. Both growth factor activities are acidic polypeptides (pl's of ...
Importance of Size, Sulfation, and Anticoagulant Activity in the Potentiation of Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor by Hepa
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1989)
Heparin was previously reported to potentiate the mitogenic activity of endothelial cell mitogens in a crude extract of bovine hypothalami (Thornton, S. C., Mueller, S. N., and Levine, E. M. (1983) Science 222, 623-625). ...
Use of Psychoactive Medication and the Quality of Care in Rest Homes
(New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM/MMS), 1989)
Rest homes have become a major component of the health care system for frail elderly persons and deinstitutionalized psychiatric patients. Although psychoactive medications are frequently used in rest homes, there is little ...
Demonstration of vasoproliferative activity from mammalian retina
(Rockefeller University Press, 1980)
Vasoproliferative activity has been demonstrated in extracts of retinas from human, bovine, and feline sources. These retinal extracts are capable of stimulating (a) proliferation and thymidine uptake of bovine vascular ...
Genomic Sequencing
(National Academy of Sciences, 1984-04-01)
Unique DNA sequences can be determined directly from mouse genomic DNA. A denaturing gel separates by size mixtures of unlabeled DNA fragments from complete restriction and partial chemical cleavages of the entire genome. ...
Cold Blockade of Axonal Transport Activates Premitotic Activity of Schwann Cells and Wallerian Degeneration
(Wiley, 1988)
Between 3 and 4 days after transection of cat sciatic nerve, Schwann cell-associated premitotic activity spreads anterogradely along degenerating distal nerve stumps at a rate of approximately 200 mm/day. We inves- tigated ...
Roentgenograms in Primary Care Patients with Acute Low Back Pain: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
(American Medical Association (AMA), 1982-06-01)
For patients visiting a primary care office practice for acute low back pain, we compared the benefits, risks, and costs of obtaining a roentgenogram of the lumbar spine routinely at the initial visit with performing a ...
