Effect of Cortisol on Rauscher Virus

The effect of cortisol therapy on the hematopoietic response to Rauseher virus infection was evaluated in nonspleneetomized and spleneetomized BALB/e miee. In nonsplenectomized mice eortisol eaused a significant reduction in leukoeytosis, lymphocytosis, monacytosis, granulocytosis, and splenome~:aly. Splenectomy modified the white blood cell response to infection in a manner similar to the effe...

Robert Insall

Robert Insall was born in London in 1965, into a family of architects, musicians and historians. To their great surprise, he was obviously scientifically inclined from an early age. He did a B.A. at Cambridge University, then stuck around in Cambridge for a Ph.D., where he got interested in Dictyostelium, followed by a postdoc in Johns Hopkins, where he got interested in chemotaxis and cell mov...

We are investigating the signal transduction mechanisms by which extracellular hydrophilic hormones activate genes. We use Dictyostelium discoideum as a model eukaryote because it is relatively easy to perform reverse genetics on this organism and it is also capable of development. We had earlier shown that extracellular cAMP behaves as a hydrophilic
