Astrocytes form an intricate partnership with neural circuits to influence numerous cellular and synaptic processes. One prominent organizational feature of astrocytes is the "tiling" of the brain with non-overlapping territories. There are some documented species and brain region-specific astrocyte specializations, but the extent of astrocyte diversity and circuit specificity are still unknown...

We present methodologic details and operating characteristics of a procedure with whole blood for the quantitative assessment of intracellular perforin within distinct lymphocyte subsets. Using this method, we analyzed 20 healthy controls and 2 individuals with an inherited deficiency of perforin. The mean +/- standard deviation perforin contents of natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T cel...

Measurement of blood parameters has been used for many years as a tool for monitoring the health of fish. The present study investigated the effects of a natural infestation of Dolops carvalhoi Lemos de Castro, 1949, on red blood cells, thrombocytes and white blood cell counts, as well as plasma glucose and serum electrolyte levels in hybrid tambacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus x Colossoma macropom...

Sealed hemoglobin-free erythrocyte vesicles have been isolated. Imposition of transmembrane cation gradients increases the intensity of Raman scattering in the CH3-stretching region as observed with unsealed ghosts at temperatures greater than 38 degrees C and pH less than 7.0 [Verma, S. P. & Wallach, D. F. H. (1976) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 73, 3358--3561]. Modifications in the amide I and a...

Interactions of endothelial cells with fibrin(ogen) are implicated in inflammation, angiogenesis, and wound healing. Cross-linking of the fibrinogen C domains with factor XIIIa generates ordered C oligomers mimicking polymeric arrangement of the C domains in fibrin. These oligomers and those prepared with tissue transglutaminase were used to establish a mechanism of the C domain– mediated inter...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Young age at natural menopause has been related to increased cardiovascular mortality, but few studies have examined the relationship with stroke risk specifically. METHODS In a cohort of 19,731 Norwegian women, we analyzed the relationship between age at natural menopause and stroke mortality. A total of 3561 women died of stroke during the 37-year follow-up from 1961 ...

Abstract Background Drug checking is a harm reduction intervention aiming to reduce substance use-related risks by improving drug user knowledge of the composition unregulated drugs. With increasing fears fentanyl adulteration in drugs, this study sought examine whether expected type checked (stimulant vs. opioid) was associated with timing service utilization (pre-consumption post-consumption)...
