Lamins' functions are regulated by phosphorylation at specific sites but our understanding of the role of such modifications is practically limited to the function of cdc 2 (cdk1) kinase sites in depolymerization of the nuclear lamina during mitosis. In our study we used Drosophila lamin Dm (B-type) to examine the function of particular phosphorylation sites using pseudophosphorylated mutants m...

Implantation of prosthetic material evokes a host response, which intrinsically increases the risk of infection. Animal models have shown that the inoculum needed to establish infection is greatly reduced in the presence of a foreign body.' The characteristics of the implanted device and the material from which it is manufactured, the likelihood that the device might be exposed to micro-organis...
