C-C Motif Chemokine 5 Attenuates Angiotensin II-Dependent Kidney Injury by Limiting Renal Macrophage Infiltration.
(Am J Pathol, 2016-11)Inappropriate activation of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. During RAS activation, infiltration of immune cells into the kidney exacerbates hypertension ... -
c-Myc is required for maintenance of glioma cancer stem cells.
(PLoS One, 2008)BACKGROUND: Malignant gliomas rank among the most lethal cancers. Gliomas display a striking cellular heterogeneity with a hierarchy of differentiation states. Recent studies support the existence of cancer stem cells in ... -
C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and cardiovascular disease prediction.
(The New England journal of medicine, 2012-10)There is debate about the value of assessing levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and other biomarkers of inflammation for the prediction of first cardiovascular events.We analyzed data from 52 prospective studies that included ... -
C. elegans germline-deficient mutants respond to pathogen infection using shared and distinct mechanisms.
(PLoS One, 2010-07-26)Reproduction extracts a cost in resources that organisms are then unable to utilize to deal with a multitude of environmental stressors. In the nematode C. elegans, development of the germline shortens the lifespan of the ... -
C4 article: Implications of COVID-19 in transplantation.
(American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, 2020-10-11)A novel coronavirus has had global impact on individual health and health care delivery. In this C4 article, contributors discuss various aspects of transplantation including donor and recipient screening, management of ... -
Ca2+ channel nanodomains boost local Ca2+ amplitude.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013-09-24)Local Ca(2+) signals through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (CaVs) drive synaptic transmission, neural plasticity, and cardiac contraction. Despite the importance of these events, the fundamental relationship between flux ... -

Cable externalization and electrical failure of the Riata family of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator leads: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
(Heart rhythm, 2015-06)<h4>Background</h4>The Riata class of defibrillator leads were placed under US Food and Drug Association (FDA) advisory as of November 2011 because of high rates of cable externalization (CE) and electrical failure (EF). ... -

Calcineurin activation causes retinal ganglion cell degeneration.
(Mol Vis, 2012)PURPOSE: We previously reported that calcineurin, a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase, is activated and proposed that it participates in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis in two rodent ... -
Calcineurin Targets Involved in Stress Survival and Fungal Virulence.
(PLoS Pathog, 2016-09)Calcineurin governs stress survival, sexual differentiation, and virulence of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Calcineurin is activated by increased Ca2+ levels caused by stress, and transduces signals ... -
Calcium Dependence of Fibrin Nanomechanics: The gamma 1 Calcium Mediates the Unfolding of Fibrinogen Induced by Force Applied to the "A-a" Bond
(2010)The interactions between the constituent monomers of fibrin, the polymerized protein network that provides the structural stability of blood clots, ale frequently under stress because of the dynamic nature of blood flow ... -
Calcium dependent CAMTA1 in adult stem cell commitment to a myocardial lineage.
(PLoS One, 2012)The phenotype of somatic cells has recently been found to be reversible. Direct reprogramming of one cell type into another has been achieved with transduction and over expression of exogenous defined transcription factors ... -
Calcium Pyrophosphate And Monosodium Urate Activate The NLRP3 Inflammasome Within Bladder Urothelium Via Reactive Oxygen Species And TXNIP.
(Research and reports in urology, 2019-01)Objective:To investigate the in vitro activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome within bladder urothelium by stone-forming components. Further, to describe the contributions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thioredoxin-interacting ... -
Calcium Signaling and Cardiac Arrhythmias.
(Circulation research, 2017-06)There has been a significant progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which calcium (Ca2+) ions mediate various types of cardiac arrhythmias. A growing list of inherited gene defects can cause potentially ... -
Calcium-based plasticity model explains sensitivity of synaptic changes to spike pattern, rate, and dendritic location.
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2012-03)Multiple stimulation protocols have been found to be effective in changing synaptic efficacy by inducing long-term potentiation or depression. In many of those protocols, increases in postsynaptic calcium concentration have ... -
Calculating Comparable Statistics from Incomparable Surveys, with an Application to Poverty in India
(2006)Applied economists are often interested in studying trends in important economic indicators, such as inequality or poverty, but comparisons over time can be made impossible by changes in data collection methodology. We describe ...
