Introduction The renin angiotensin system plays a crucial role in erectile function. It has been shown that elevated angiotensin-II levels contribute to the development of erectile dysfunction (ED). Oppositely, angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-[1-7]) mediates penile ...
An original selective and quantitative detection method for direct access to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in near-neutral aqueous solutions during transient electrochemical experiments is described herein. Several chemiluminescent probes, which ...
Intrauterine infection and inflammation are major reasons for preterm birth. The switch from placenta-mediated to lung-mediated oxygen supply during birth is associated with a sudden rise of tissue oxygen tension that amounts to relative hyperoxia in prete ...
The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae is an aquatic bacterium frequently encountered in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal regions. Within these environmental reservoirs, the bacterium is often found associated with zooplankton and more specifically with t ...
Melanoma, the most fatal of all skin cancers, by unknown mechanisms overcomes the cytostatic effects of TGFβ, while maintaining the TGFβ signaling needed for its tumor promoting functions. Besides TGFβ, ectopic induction of the TGFβ family member Nodal has ...
