Purification of A Serum Factor That Triggers Cell Cycle Re-entry In Differentiated Newt Myotubes
… cell line. Using this assay we have found a serum activity that stimulates cell cycle re-entry in differentiated multinucleated newt myotubes. The activity is present in serum of all mammalian species tested so far and, interestingly, thrombin proteolysis amplifies the activity from both …

Characterization of serum-induced CYP1A1 expression and activity in mouse embryo fibroblasts
The AhR is a ligand-activated transcription factor that mediates the toxic effects of environmental contaminants that include TCDD. Using a TCDD dose-response treatment in MEFs, we observed a super induction of CYP1A1 with newborn calf serum (NCS) in the presence (10nM/15nM) of TCDD. In addition to …

ZIPRO1: Fine Tuning Proliferation in Discrete Cell Populations
<p>Zipro 1 is a zinc finger transcription factor that has a restricted pattern of expression in several tissues. The main cells expressing Zipro1 are proliferating cells from epidermal lineages. This includes the cerebellar granule cells (GCs), nasal epithelia and dermal papilla. Through gene …

Complement evasion strategies of human pathogens - the evolutionary arms race
… by binding complement inhibitor found in human serum, factor I, and its two major cofactors C4b-binding protein (C4BP) and Factor H. This mechanism contributes to complement resistance of this bacterium. We also found that major periopathogens have the ability to bind to the membrane-bound …
