For whom the bird sings: context-dependent gene expression.
(Neuron, 1998-10)
Male zebra finches display two song behaviors: directed and undirected singing. The
two differ little in the vocalizations produced but greatly in how song is delivered.
"Directed" song is usually accompanied by a courtship ...
Brain gene regulation by territorial singing behavior in freely ranging songbirds.
(Neuroreport, 1997-05-27)
To investigate the ecological relevance of brain gene regulation associated with singing
behavior in songbirds, we challenged freely ranging song sparrows with conspecific
song playbacks within their breeding territories. ...
Induction of anti-myelin antibodies in EAE and their possible role in demyelination.
(J Neurosci Res, 1991-12)
Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis is characterized by invasion of lymphocytes
and macrophages into the central nervous system resulting in inflammation, edema,
and demyelination. Sera from Lewis rats from 7-95 days ...
Overexpression of the cardiac beta(2)-adrenergic receptor and expression of a beta-adrenergic receptor kinase-1 (betaARK1) inhibitor both increase myocardial contractility but have differential effects on susceptibility to ischemic injury.
(Circ Res, 1999-11-26)
Cardiac beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) overexpression is a potential contractile
therapy for heart failure. Cardiac contractility was elevated in mice overexpressing
beta(2)ARs (TG4s) with no adverse effects under ...
Enhancement of cardiac function after adenoviral-mediated in vivo intracoronary beta2-adrenergic receptor gene delivery.
(J Clin Invest, 1999-07)
Exogenous gene delivery to alter the function of the heart is a potential novel therapeutic
strategy for treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure (HF). Before
gene therapy approaches to alter cardiac function ...
Localisation of [131I]MIBG in nude mice bearing SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma xenografts: effect of specific activity.
(Br J Cancer, 1996-05)
The biodistribution of no-carrier-added (n.c.a.) meta-[131I]iodobenzylguanidine ([131I]MIBG)
and that prepared by the standard isotopic exchange method were compared in athymic
mice bearing SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma xenografts. ...
Selective expression of insulin-like growth factor II in the songbird brain.
(J Neurosci, 1997-09-15)
Neuronal replacement occurs in the forebrain of juvenile and adult songbirds. To address
the molecular processes that govern this replacement, we cloned the zebra finch insulin-like
growth factor II (IGF-II) cDNA, a factor ...
Characterization of the murine BEK fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor: activation by three members of the FGF family and requirement for heparin.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1992-04-15)
The bek gene encodes a member of the high-affinity fibroblast growth factor receptor
family. The BEK/FGFR-2 receptor is a membrane-spanning tyrosine kinase with the typical
features of FGF receptors. We have cloned a murine ...
Relative growth of the limbs and trunk in sifakas: heterochronic, ecological, and functional considerations.
(Am J Phys Anthropol, 1993-12)
Limb, trunk, and body weight measurements were obtained for growth series of Milne-Edwards's
diademed sifaka, Propithecus diadema edwardsi, and the golden-crowned sifaka, Propithecus
tattersalli. Similar measures were obtained ...
Field methods for capture and measurement of three monkey species in Costa Rica.
(Folia Primatol (Basel), 1991)
A total of 54 free-ranging monkeys were captured and marked in Santa Rosa National
Park, Costa Rica, during May 1985, and an additional 17 were captured during March
1986. The animals were darted using a blowpipe or a CO2 ...
