Red deer stags produce an androgen-dependent mane of long hairs only in the breeding
season; in the non-breeding season, when circulating androgen levels are low, the neck …

Human calcitonin gene–related peptide (hCGRP-1) and human amylin (hA) have been
reported to increase hepatic glucose output in vivo and to bind with high affinity to rat liver …

The PML-RARα hybrid protein generated by the t (15; 17) translocation in acute
promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is thought to play a central role in the oncogenic process …

Cancer is a multistep phenomenon involving alterations of the genetic material of the cell [1,
2]. In early experiments it was found that animals had to be treated with two types of …

With careful study of the array of RNAs produced by many different genes, it has become
clear that alternative splicing is an important mechanism for the regulation of the synthesis of …

Herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSVtk) gene transfer followed by ganciclovir
administration is a common strategy for experimental cancer therapy. To evaluate the …

The SmN protein is a tissue specific component of the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein
particle which is closely related to the ubiquitously expressed SmB protein but is expressed …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes that differences in neuropathogenicity among
H1N1 influenza A strains: PR8, WS, and WSN. These are associated with virus strain …

The calcitonin/CGRP gene is transcribed in thyroid C cells and some neuronal cells but not
in other cell types. Although the promoter sequences mediating gene activity in thyroid C …

The avian calcitonin gene was isolated and sequenced; two mRNAs are expressed by
tissue‐specific alternate splicing. The peptides encoded by the mRNAs are the protein …
