Tumor suppressor proteins protect cells and tissues from malignant transformation. Among their diverse actions, many of these proteins interact with the microtubule cytoskeleton. This review focuses on the interactions of several tumor suppressors with microtubules and speculates on how disruption of microtubule-dependent processes may contribute to cancer development and spread. We conclude th...

Abstract Prenatal alloantigen exposure during embryonic development permanently tolerizes the early gestational fetus and provides a tremendous advantage over transplantation after birth. However, influence of prenatally educated NK cells on alloantigen-specific T cell immune responses is not well elucidated. In previous experiments, we found that prenatally-educated friendly (fNK) exert suppre...

A tutorial paper with a review of the technologies available in the mid-eighties for surge protection of lowvoltage end-user equipment. The principles of operation are described for “crowbar devices” (now generally described under the standardized name of “voltage switching devices”) and for “voltage clamping devices: (now generally described under the standardized name of “voltage limiting dev...
