BRIEF REVIEWS Molecular Characterization of Adrenergic Receptors

THIS is an appropriate time to review progress in the area of adrenergic receptors, particularly in terms of research that aims at achieving an understanding of these proteins at the level of their molecular composition. The past decade has seen an explosion in the field of adrenergic receptor pharmacology, made possible to a large extent by the development of the radioligand-binding assay. Alt...

BRIEF REVIEWS Gene Transfer and Cardiovascular Disease

Through the introduction of foreign DNA into somatic cells, the aim of gene therapy is to correct or prevent disorders caused by the absence or malfunction of genes within a diseased individual. Expression of recombinant genes at specific sites within the vasculature can provide insights into vascular biology and potential treatments for various cardiovascular disorders. In our studies, we have...

Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces - Two Brief Reviews

This TR contains two brief reviews which will appear in the Proceedings of the 13th IFAC Symposium on System Identification (SYSID 2003), Rotterdam, August 2003. They are the basis for two talks in the invited session WeP02-Reproducing Kernels 1, and were prepared within the space limitations of the Proceedings. They are primarily based on work of the author and collaborators. There are many re...
