Repair of wounds usually results in restoration of organ function, even if suboptimal. However, in a minority of situations,
the healing process leads to significant scarring that hampers homeostasis and leaves the tissue compromised. This scar is
characterized by an excess of matrix deposition that remains poorly organized and weakened. While we know much of the early
stages of the repair process, the transition to wound resolution that limits scar formation is poorly understood. This is
particularly true of the inducers of scar formation. Here, we present a hypothesis that it is the matrix itself that is a
primary driver of scar, rather than being simply the result of other cellular dysregulations. 相似文献

Failure to confirm NOTCH4 association with schizophrenia in a large population-based sample from Scotland 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The NOTCH4 gene was recently reported to be associated with schizophrenia based on TDT analysis of 80 British trios. The strongest evidence for association derived from two microsatellites. We genotyped both loci in a large sample of unrelated Scottish schizophrenics and controls, but failed to replicate the reported association, finding instead that each putative schizophrenia-associated allele had a somewhat lower frequency in schizophrenics than in controls. 相似文献

Wnt proteins are lipid-modified and can act as stem cell growth factors 总被引:93,自引:0,他引:93

Wnt signalling is involved in numerous events in animal development, including the proliferation of stem cells and the specification of the neural crest. Wnt proteins are potentially important reagents in expanding specific cell types, but in contrast to other developmental signalling molecules such as hedgehog proteins and the bone morphogenetic proteins, Wnt proteins have never been isolated in an active form. Although Wnt proteins are secreted from cells, secretion is usually inefficient and previous attempts to characterize Wnt proteins have been hampered by their high degree of insolubility. Here we have isolated active Wnt molecules, including the product of the mouse Wnt3a gene. By mass spectrometry, we found the proteins to be palmitoylated on a conserved cysteine. Enzymatic removal of the palmitate or site-directed and natural mutations of the modified cysteine result in loss of activity, and indicate that the lipid is important for signalling. The purified Wnt3a protein induces self-renewal of haematopoietic stem cells, signifying its potential use in tissue engineering. 相似文献

Cardiac output distribution in the rat was found to be affected by age. Cardiac index and blood flow to the liver, kidneys, skin and skeletal muscle were lower in 11-12 month compared to 3-4 month old rats. 相似文献

Summary The effect of urethane and pentobarbital anaesthesia and hepatic portal vein catheterization on liver blood flow was investigated in the rat. Liver blood flow with pentobarbital anaesthesia was 40% greater than with urethane. Hepatic portal vein catheterization had no effect under pentobarbital anaesthesia whereas it produced an 18% fall in liver blood flow with urethane.Acknowledgments.

Summary The C and G chromosome banding patterns and the AgAS positive sites (NOR regions) of cultured lung cells of the Eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus) are presented. A distinctive secondary constriction is found on a pair of autosomes instead of on the X-chromosome as previously believed. The presence of a heterochromatic heteromorphism is noted and a large amount of constitutive heterochromatin is present in the karyotype. 相似文献
