background and objective: egfr and her-2 are two members of erbb/her family of type i transmembrane growth factor receptors. cox2 is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, which has a major role in angiogenesis and can modelate tumor growth. the aim of this study was to determine the level of expression of egfr, her-2 and cox2 in colorectd cancer. mater...

In previous work we have demonstrated that the microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP 2) molecule consists of two structural parts. One part of the molecule, referred to as the assembly-promoting domain, binds to the microtubule surface and is responsible for promoting microtubule assembly; the other represents a filamentous projection observed on the microtubule surface that may be involved in ...

In this paper we provide various properties of Rad-⊕-supplemented modules. In particular, we prove that a projective module M is Rad⊕-supplemented if and only if M is ⊕-supplemented, and then we show that a commutative ring R is an artinian serial ring if and only if every left R-module is Rad-⊕-supplemented. Moreover, every left R-module has the property (P ∗) if and only if R is an artinian s...

We have investigated the trafficking of two endogenous axonal membrane proteins, VAMP2 and NgCAM, in order to elucidate the cellular events that underlie their polarization. We found that VAMP2 is delivered to the surface of both axons and dendrites, but preferentially endocytosed from the dendritic membrane. A mutation in the cytoplasmic domain of VAMP2 that inhibits endocytosis abolished its ...
