Introduction: Developmental changes in atrioventricular nodal conduction time and refractoriness have been shown in several studies. Prevalence of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is clearly age-dependent. The purpose of this study was to determine developmental changes of basic and frequency-dependent electrophysiological properties of the atrioventricular node (AV-node)...

In this paper we investigate the stability of one-sided perturbation to g-frame expansions. We show that if $Lambda$ is a g-frame of a Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$, $Lambda_{i}^{a}=Lambda_{i}+Theta_{i}$ where $Theta_{i} in mathcal{L}(mathcal{H},mathcal{H}_{i})$, and $widetilde{f}=sum_{i in J}Lambda_{i}^{star}widetilde{Lambda}_{i}^{a}f$, $widehat{f}=sum_{i in J}(Lambda_{i}^{a})^{star}widetilde{Lam...

Cripto-1, a co-receptor for Nodal, can activate Nodal-dependent and Nodal-independent signaling pathways. In this study we have investigated whether Cripto-1 mutants, that fail to activate a Nodal-dependent signaling pathway, are capable to activate a Nodal-independent signaling pathway in mammary epithelial cells. Cripto-1 mutants expressed in EpH4 mouse mammary epithelial cells are fully func...

Nodal, an important embryonic morphogen, has been reported to modulate tumorigenesis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in cancer metastasis. We have previously reported that recombinant Nodal treatment can promote melanoma undergoing EMT, but the effects of endogenous Nodal on EMT are still unknown. Here we generated both Nodal-overexpression and -knockdown stable...

Abstract. Taylor expansions of analytic functions are considered with respect to several points, allowing confluence of any of them. Cauchy-type formulas are given for coefficients and remainders in the expansions, and the regions of convergence are indicated. It is explained how these expansions can be used in deriving uniform asymptotic expansions of integrals. The method is also used for obt...
