Glutamine synthetase protects against neuronal degeneration in injured retinal tissue.
The neurotransmitter glutamate is neurotoxic when it is accumulated in a massive amount in the extracellular fluid. Excessive release of glutamate has been shown to be a major cause of neuronal degeneration after central nervous system injury. Under normal conditions, accumulation of synaptically released glutamate is prevented, at least in part, by a glial uptake system in which the glia-speci...
متن کاملPolyethylene Glycol Camouflaged Earthworm Hemoglobin
Nearly 21 million components of blood and whole blood and transfused annually in the United States, while on average only 13.6 million units of blood are donated. As the demand for Red Blood Cells (RBCs) continues to increase due to the aging population, this deficit will be more significant. Despite decades of research to develop hemoglobin (Hb) based oxygen (O2) carriers (HBOCs) as RBC substi...

متن کاملPhosphorus contamination in polyethylene glycol.
Concentrations of Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ca, Mg, K, and P were examined in untreated and ion exchange resin-treated solutions of polyethylene glycol, molecular weight 3000 to 3700, polyethylene glycol (PEG 4000). Relatively high levels of P were found in untreated PEF-4000 solutions. The concentration of contaminating P in solutions prepared from untreated PEG 4000, even at high water potentials (-1 t...
متن کاملPolyethylene glycol-coated biocompatible surfaces.
Surfaces covered with polyethylene glycol (PEG; HO-(CH(2)-CH(2)-O)(n)-H) have been shown to be biocompatible because PEG's properties yield nonimmunogenicity, nonantigenicity, and protein rejection. To produce a biocompatible surface coating, we have developed a method for grafting PEG onto activated silica films. We first deposited an amorphous silica film by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor dep...
