چکیده
We studied how contrast sensitivity varies depending on the orientation and the direction of motion of stimulus features. Previous studies of contrast sensitivity for moving gratings (e.g. Koenderink et al., 1987; Hammet & Bex, 1996) have used full screen gratings for which only orthogonal movement is defined. We (Fine et al., 1996; Peli & Labianca, 1997) measured detection thresholds for Gabor patches oriented either horizontally (Ho) or vertically (Vo) and moving either in a horizontal (Hm) or vertical (Vm) direction.

Adipocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor is a mediator of adipose tissue growth.
Adipose tissue growth results from de novo adipocyte recruitment (hyperplasia) and increased size of preexisting adipocytes. Adipocyte hyperplasia accounts for the severalfold increase in adipose tissue mass that occurs throughout life, yet the mechanism of adipocyte hyperplasia is unknown. We studied the potential of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF) to mediate adipocyte hyperplasia ...
متن کاملMCSF orchestrates branching morphogenesis in developing submandibular gland tissue.
The importance of macrophages in tissue development and regeneration has been strongly emphasized. However, the specific roles of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF), the key regulator of macrophage differentiation, in glandular tissue development have been unexplored. Here, we disclose new macrophage-independent roles of MCSF in tissue development. We initially found that MCSF is marke...
متن کاملAmelioration of Cancer Stem Cells in Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor-Expressing U87MG-Human Glioblastoma upon 5-Fluorouracil Therapy
Macrophage colony stimulating factor (MCSF) regulates growth, proliferation and differentiation of haematopoietic cell lineages. Many cancers are known to secrete high level of MCSF, which recruit macrophages into the tumour micro-environment, supporting tumour growth. Herein, we report the cloning of MCSF and subsequent generation of U87MG expressing MCSF stable cell line (U87-MCSF). Cytotoxic...
متن کاملClinical significance of increased plasma concentration of macrophage colony-stimulating factor in patients with angina pectoris.
OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF) on atherogenesis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), we assessed the relation between the plasma concentration of MCSF and the incidence of acute coronary events in patients with CAD. BACKGROUND Cytokines such as MCSF play a central role in inflammatory and proliferative responses in patients with ac...
متن کاملNew Markers of Inflammation and Tubular Damage in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Monocyte chemoattractant protein- (MCP-) 1, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF), and neopterin are connected with monocyte migration and transition into macrophages, leading to fibrosis and tubular damage in the course of CKD. The aim of the study was to analyze the applicability of urinary fractional excretion (FE) of MCP1, MCSF, and neopterin, as markers of infla...
