Epidermal growth factor (EGF) causes proliferation in renal tubular cells but, when it is combined with transforming growth factor-beta1, it causes hypertrophy by a mechanism that requires the activity of the retinoblastoma family of proteins. In contrast, ammonia causes hypertrophy by decreasing lysosomal proteolysis; in some cell types, it also decreases cellular proliferation. These studies ...

Escherichia coli cells with plasmids bearing the valS gene were constructed from the Clark-Carbon collection. Their increased valyl-tRNA synthetase (EC 6.1.1.9) activity was not matched by commensurate production of a modifying peptide during T4 infection. Thus, phage vs gene expression is set to modify the normal amount of valyl-tRNA synthetase activity.

Reaching an electricity system which is both economically efficient and environmentally friendly is motivating countries to design and execute different types of TOU demand response programs. But there are certain deficiencies which prevent these programs to effectively modify the load shape. Smart grid as a means could help the electricity system to reach the highest demand side management ...
