Studies on signalling dynamics in living embryos have been limited by a scarcity of in vivo reporters. Tandem fluorescent protein timers provide a generic method for detecting changes in protein population age and thus provide readouts for signalling events that lead to changes in protein stability or location. When imaged with quantitative dual-colour fluorescence microscopy, tandem timers off...

KA: keratoacanthoma KCM: keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum INTRODUCTION Keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum (KCM) is a rare variant of keratoacanthoma (KA) possessing several characteristics distinguishing it from typical KAs. Clinical presentation deviates from common KAs with lesions that continually expand peripherally. KCM also deviates from the usual histologic findings with a lack...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the biological potency of two synthetic human growth hormone-releasing factors, hGRF (1-44)NH2 and hGRF (1-29)NH2, on growth hormone (GH) release in young dairy heifers (n = 10) and pigs (n = 10). In each species, the GH response to an iv injection (0, .067, .2, .6 and 1.8 nmol.kg-1 body weight) of each peptide was evaluated in a double 5 X 5 Latin square d...

A total of 370 ticks, encompassing 7 species from 4 genera, were collected during 2002-2006 from domestic animals and vegetation in the Taza region of northeastern Morocco. Rickettsial DNA was identified in 101 ticks (27%) by sequencing PCR products of fragments of the citrate synthase and outer membrane protein genes of Rickettsia spp. Seven rickettsiae of the spotted fever group were identifi...
