Since its first report in 1996, the concept of the so-called (Pro)renin receptor ((P)RR/ATP6ap2) has dramactically evolved from a receptor mediating cellular effects of (pro)renin, to a protein with more basic and potentially essential intracellular functions. Among the arguments urging to reconsider the role of (P)RR was the observation that its localization appears mainly intracellular, altho...

In this paper we generalise the classical Julia–Wolff– Carathéodory theorem to holomorphic functions defined on bounded symmetric domains.

On the final afternoon of the workshop "Assessment of the Allergenic Potential of Genetically Modified Foods," held 10-12 December 2001 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, speakers and participants met in breakout groups to discuss specific questions in the areas of use of human clinical data, animal models to assess food allergy, biomarkers of exposure and effect, sensitive populations, dose-...

In this study, bimodal meso-porous silica (UVM-7) synthesized and fabricated amino silane modified supports were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption/desorption, transmission electron microscope (TEM), elemental analysis and titration. Capacity of CO2 capture on modified bimodal pore structure silica at 70°C was calculated using breakthrough curves; and it was found th...

Four patients with supraventricular tachycardia associated with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome were refractory to conventional pharmacological therapy and received aprindine hydrochloride intravenously and orally. Electrophysiological studies disclosed that intravenous aprindine caused increased refractoriness and slowed conduction in the atria, atrioventricular node, ventricles, and access...
