In the normal pancreas, moderate to marked basic FGF immuno- reactivity was present in a heterogeneous pattern at the basal aspect of acinar cells, and intense cytoplasmic FGF

ABSTRACT — Effects of the CYP3A4 intron 6 C>T (CYP3A4*22) polymorphism, which has recent- ly been reported to have a critical role in vivo, were investigated by measuring

We examined the expression of ephrin-B1 and its cognate receptor EphB2, key regulators of angiogenesis and embryogenesis, in human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and analyzed

present study has provided immunohistochemical evidence of the occurrence of VEGF in subsets of peptideamine endocrine and in an exocrine cell type of normal adult rats, namely, the

The present results also provide in situ hybridization evidence that at least chief cells and possibly both chief cells and sustentacular cells of the carotid body express NGF mRNA..

Emerging evidence in recent years shows that sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) acts on several types of target cells and is engaged in pro-fibrotic inflammatory process and
