Molecular Biology of Blood Pressure Regulatory

K.TAKEUCHI. Molecular Biology of Blood Pressure Regulatory Genes.Tohoku J.Exp.Med.,2001,197(1),2002,1-8――Blood pressure is determined by vascular resistance and circulating volume.Activation of vascular angiotensin II or thromboxane receptor is mostly involved in the former,and function of renal prostagalandin EP receptor or thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride co-transporter is also in the latte...

Molecular polymorphisms of human blood groups: a universe to unravel

The discovery of the ABO blood group system by Karl Landsteiner in 1900 resulted in the description of the first human genetic polymorphism and the birth of Immunohematology. In the decades that followed, new blood group systems were characterized and the frequencies of their common and rare phenotypes were established in almost all populations and ethnic groups. Immunohematology takes advantag...

The molecular biology frontier.

To begin my personal reflection of Circulation Research, I would like to congratulate Eduardo Marbán and all the other Editors in commemoration of 50 years of this venerable journal. It is really a most honorable privilege for me to write this editorial, for Circulation Research was highly influential in encouraging me as a clinical cardiologist to become a scientific researcher. In 1970, I sta...

Molecular Biology of the Gene

The tremendous advances of recent years in molecular biology warrant a summary statement of our knowledge in the form of a text for the beginner in the field. James D. Watson, 1962 Nobelist in Physiology and Medicine, has superbly filled this need with his lucid account of the Molecular Biology of the Gene. As the author has aimed his report toward the nonspecialist, he has assumed only the inf...
