VWF springs into action
The Geneva group had earlier found factors linking transcription activation to the nuclear pore. They now use a nuclease fused to a nuclear pore protein, which clips any DNA that comes to the nuclear pore for a visit. The regions preferentially cleaved by the nuclease were just upstream of 40% of genes on chromosome VI. Constitutively expressed genes use different promoter elements and may not ...
متن کاملModulation of Cardiac Function: Titin Springs into Action
Sympathetic stimulation has become a central tenet in our understanding of how cardiac contractility is dynamically altered to accommodate the changing demands of the organism. The mechanisms by which acute and chronic sympathetic stimulation of the heart modulates cardiac output remain incompletely understood, however. Beyond the increase in heart rate driven by sympathetic stimulation of the ...
متن کاملCritical independent regions in the VWF propeptide and mature VWF that enable normal VWF storage.
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is synthesized in endothelial cells, where it is stored in Weibel-Palade bodies. Administration of 1-desamino-8-D-arginine-vasopressin (DDAVP) to patients with type 1 von Willebrand disease and to healthy individuals causes a rapid increase in plasma VWF levels. This increase is the result of stimulated release of VWF from Weibel-Palade bodies in certain beds of endo...
متن کاملVWF propeptide and ratios between VWF, VWF propeptide, and FVIII in the characterization of type 1 von Willebrand disease.
During posttranslational modifications of von Willebrand factor (VWF), the VWF propeptide (VWFpp) is cleaved. The ratio between VWFpp and VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) and the ratio between factor VIII (FVIII:C) and VWF:Ag may be used to assess synthesis and clearance of VWF. We analyzed the contribution of VWFpp and ratios of VWFpp/VWF:Ag and FVIII:C/VWF:Ag in the pathophysiological characterization of...
متن کاملDisturbing Conscience into Action
on the controversial book 'Sans Everything', the publication of which has sparked off a ministerial enquiry. Sans Everything is a frightening book. A collection of case histories of the elderly and mentally disturbed, it tells of inefficiency, unkindness, disrespect and neglect in geriatric wards. The cases are probably exceptional but, however rare the instances may be, it is essential that th...
