We have hypothesized that the colocalization of digestive zymogens with lysosomal hydrolases, which occurs during the early stages of every experimental pancreatitis model, facilitates activation of those zymogens by lysosomal hydrolases such as cathepsin B and that this activation triggers acute pancreatitis by leading to acinar cell injury. Some, however, have argued that the colocalization p...

MOA-2006-BLG-074 was selected as one of the most promising planetary candidates in a retrospective analysis MOA collaboration: its asymmetric high-magnification peak can be perfectly explained by source passing across central caustic deformed small planet. However, after detailed residuals, we have realized that single lens and orbiting with faint companion provides more satisfactory explanatio...

Different subtypes of GABAA (gamma-aminobutyric acid A) receptors, through their specific regional and cellular localization, are involved in the manifestation various functions, both at central peripheral levels. We hypothesized that non-neuronal receptors expressed on blood vessels, which positive allosteric modulators exhibit vasodilatory effects. This study two parts: one to determine prese...

We present results from VLBA+Effelsberg 1.7 GHz, VLBA 8.4 GHz and VLBA 15 GHz observations of the JVAS gravitational lens system B1030+074. The VLBA+Effelsberg 1.7 GHz data with 3 mas resolution reveal a detailed 60 mas jet structure in the strong A component of the lens system and maybe a first hint of the corresponding jet structure in the faint component B. As we go to the higher resolution ...

We present an overview of all the observations (radio-VLA, MERLIN, VLBA, EVN-and optical-WFPC2 and NICMOS-) that were initially used to confirm the gravitational lens nature of the double JVAS system B1030+074. Since the 1.56 arcsec system showed some first indication of variability it has been monitored with the VLA and MERLIN to confirm its variable nature. We also present new VLBA observatio...
