Morphogenetic effects of follicle stimulating hormone: Effects on the synthesis of nuclear RNA's by chick embryos

Résumé L'hormone de maturation folliculaire (FSH), qui possède des propriétés morphogénétiques nettes, produit des effets différentiels sur la synthèse des ARN nucléaires chez des embryons de poule dans les différentes étapes de leur développement. Les expériences indiquent que lors du traitement par l'hormone, celle-ci peut stimuler la synthèse de différentes classes d'ARN, selon l'étape du développement.

Differences in phagocytic activity of methacrylate copolymer particles in normal and stimulated macrophages

Summary Methacrylate copolymer particles were found to be optimal for a study of phagocytosis in normal and stimulated macrophages, and, after their simple coating with antiserum, for a specific cell labelling with minimal spontaneous adhesion to the cell surface.
