The effectiveness of the latest genetic technologies in advancing diagnosis growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and predicting response to recombinant human (rHGh) therapy has been insufficiently studied. polymorphism GHR-exon 3 considered as a possible predictor replacement therapy, but data obtained are contradictory. Purpose - identify allelic variants receptor gene (GHR-exon 3) children with GH...

We have used a fluorescently-labeled dihydropyridine (FL-DHP) to vitally stain living Fucus zygotes during the establishment of cell polarity. Localization of FL-DHP is primarily at the plasma membrane and FL-DHP binding is competitively blocked by an unlabeled dihydropyridine. Distribution of FL-DHP is initially symmetrical before fixation of the polar axis, but becomes asymmetrical in respons...

Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3-ligand (FL) is a growth factor that may expand dendritic cell and regulatory T cell populations. We hypothesised that FL-induced regulatory T cells would protect mice from experimental rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. To determine if FL was able to enhance regulatory T cell populations, C57BL/6 mice received 10 days of daily intraperitoneal injections of either...

Wet snow may cause significant damage to humans and property, thus, it is necessary estimate the corresponding liquid fraction (FL). Consequently, FL of wet was estimated using a novel technique; specifically, particle shape irregularity (Ir) through coordinate information obtained 2-D video disdrometer (2DVD) measurements. Moreover, possibility quantitively estimating via Ir, based on temperat...

Camellia is a block cipher selected as a standard by ISO/IEC, which has been analyzed by a number of cryptanalysts. In this paper, we propose several 6-round impossible differential paths of Camellia with the FL/FL−1 layer in the middle of them. With the impossible differential and a well-organized precomputational table, impossible differential attacks on 10-round Camellia-192 and 11-round Cam...

Sox5 belongs to the Sry-related HMG box gene family, which encodes transcription factors controlling cell fate and differentiation in many lineages. Sox5 produces a long L-Sox5 protein in neuronal, glial, neural crest, cartilage, and other cells, and a short Sox5 protein in spermatids. Sox5(-/-) mice have revealed essential roles for L-Sox5 in development but their neonatal death has prevented ...

Accumulating evidence indicates that infiltrating stromal cells contribute directly and indirectly to tumor growth in a wide range of cancers. In follicular lymphoma (FL), malignant B cells are found admixed with heterogeneous lymphoid-like stromal cells within invaded lymph nodes and BM. In addition, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) support in vitro FL B-cell survival, in particular after thei...
