The Monkey's Paw

Arousal mediates relations among medial paw preference, lateral paw preference, and spatial preference in the mouse.

Rodents exhibit two well-documented behavioural lateralities: spatial preference and paw preference. Waters and Denenberg [36] have identified two seemingly independent factors of paw preference: medial and lateral paw preference. In the present work, the relations among spatial preference (SP), medial paw preference (MPP), and lateral paw preference (LPP) during states of high and low arousal ...

Platelet-rich plasma: the PAW classification system.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been the subject of hundreds of publications in recent years. Reports of its effects in tissue, both positive and negative, have generated great interest in the orthopaedic community. Protocols for PRP preparation vary widely between authors and are often not well documented in the literature, making results difficult to compare or replicate. A classification syst...

Paw paw and cancer: annonaceous acetogenins from discovery to commercial products.

Extracts of paw paw ( Asimina triloba, Annonaceae) are among the most potent of the 3500 species of higher plants screened for bioactive compounds in our laboratories at Purdue University. The paw paw is a small tree native to eastern North America; its edible fruits (sometimes referred to as "Indiana Bananas") have nurtured mankind for centuries. Activity-directed fractionation of the paw paw ...

Molecular cloning of two cysteine proteinases from paw-paw (Carica papaya).

Two cDNA clones for plant cysteine proteinases have been isolated from a Carica papaya (paw-paw, papaya) leaf tissue cDNA library by using a mixture of 16 synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides as a hybridization probe. The inserted regions are 311 and 440 base-pairs in length and have the potential to encode a region corresponding to the C-terminal region of two proteins which are homologous with...
