Healthy human lungs have traditionally been considered to be a sterile organ. However,
culture-independent molecular techniques have reported that large numbers of microbes …

According to recent analyses, there was a modest yet significant improvement in median
survival time and 5-year survival rate of limited stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in North …

… Sense and antisense probes were derived from the N-terminal region of GDNFR-o using
T7 … in PIPLC-treated Neuro-2a and SK-N-SH cells when GDNF was added together with a …

The RET proto‐oncogene is responsible for the development of several human inherited
and non‐inherited diseases. Germline point mutations were identified in multiple endocrine …

… To test the specificity of the effect of the Girdin knockdown, we also introduced the Girdin
siRNA into another cell line, SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cells, which stably express the RET …

… After lyophilization, the samples were subjected to acid hydrolysis in 50 l of 6 N HCl for 2
h at 110C. Then they were suspended in 1 ml of distilled water and lyophilized three times. …

The serine/threonine protein kinase Akt is involved in a variety of cellular processes including
cell proliferation, survival, metabolism and gene expression. It is essential in vascular …

While the genetic control of renal branching morphogenesis has been extensively described,
the cellular basis of this process remains obscure. GDNF/RET signaling is required for …
