This variability cannot be explained by the known cor relation between active cell proliferation and an increase in the number of receptors, since the tumors with the highest growth fraction (i.e., Burkitt's lymphoma and T-cell leukemia) tend to have lower average rece...

The kinetics of the membrane current during the anomalous or inward-going rectification of the K current in the egg cell membrane of the starfish Mediaster aequalis were analyzed by voltage clamp. The rectification has instantaneous and time-dependent components. The time-dependent increase in the K conductance for the negative voltage pulse as well as the decrease in the conductance for the po...

Along the southwest coast of India the intensity of southwest monsoon as evidenced by annual rainfall showed a declining trend during the years 1983 to 1988. A...
