Beta(2)-Adrenergic Receptor Agonists Inhibit the Proliferation of 1321N1 Astrocytoma Cells
Experiments were conducted to determine whether the β2-AR agonist (R,R′)-fenoterol and other β2-AR agonists could attenuate mitogenesis and, if so, by what mechanism.

Frontally Mediated Inhibitory Processing and White Matter Microstructure: Age and Alcoholism Effects
This study aims to evaluate the effect of alcoholism and age on δ and θ oscillations and the relationship between these oscillations and measures of white matter microstructural integrity.

Antibody Response to Polyhistidine-Tagged Peptide and Protein Antigens Attached to Liposomes Via Lipid-Linked Nitrilotriacetic Acid in Mice
We evaluate noncovalent metal chelation via nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as a nondestructive method to attach peptide and protein antigens to liposomes.

Activation of Cortical Interneurons During Sleep: An Anatomical Link to Homeostatic Sleep Regulation?
We propose that cortical nNOS neurons are positioned to influence neuronal activity across widespread brain areas.

Sleep-Active Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase-Positive Cells of the Cerebral Cortex: a Local Regulator of Sleep?
We review the possible functions of neuronal nitric oxide synthase in regulating neuronal activity, synaptic plasticity and cerebral blood flow within the context of local sleep regulation in the cerebral…

Aggressive and Chronic Periodontitis Correlate with Distinct Cellular Sources of Key Immunoregulatory Cytokines
We aimed to investigate the expression of adhesion molecules and the source of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in circulating mononuclear cells from patients with CP and AP.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus Ligation Alters Pulmonary Gene Expression in Preterm Baboons
Ibuprofen-induced ductus closure improves pulmonary mechanics and increases alveolar surface area in premature baboons compared with baboons with a persistent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).

Pharmacogenetics of Smoking Cessation in General Practice: Results from the Patch Ii and Patch in Practice Trials
The results and lessons learned from this general practice-based pharmacogenetic research programme provide transportable insights at the transition to the second generation of pharmacogenetic and genomic investigations of smoking cessation…

The Virulence of the Opportunistic Fungal Pathogen Aspergillus Fumigatus Requires Cooperation Between the Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated Degradation Pathway (Erad) and the Unfolded Protein Response (Upr)
We examined the contribution of these integrated pathways to the growth and virulence of A. fumigatus, focusing on the ERAD protein DerA and the master regulator of the UPR, HacA.
