Effect of low dose metronomic therapy on MCF-7 tumor cells growth and angiogenesis. Role of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors
(Elsevier Science, 2020-07)
The non-neuronal cholinergic system refers to the presence of acetylcholine, choline acetyltransferase, acetylcholinesterase and cholinergic receptors, nicotinic and muscarinic (mAChRs) expressed in non-neuronal cells. The ...
Germ cells regulate 3-hydroxybutyrate production in rat Sertoli cells
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-04)
Paracrine regulation of Sertoli cell function by germ cells is an outstanding characteristic of testicular physiology. It has been demonstrated that Sertoli cells produce ketone bodies and that germ cells may use them as ...
Insulin-like growth factor-I is a potential trophic factor for amacrine cells
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2001-02)
In this study we show that insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I selectively promotes survival and differentiation of amacrine neurons. In cultures lacking this factor, an initial degeneration pathway, selectively affecting ...
α2-adrenoceptor action on cell proliferation and mammary tumour growth in mice
(Macmillan Publisher Limited, 2008-12)
Breast cancer, the most common cancer in women in most countries, is a highly stressful disease. Catecholamines released during stress bind to adrenoceptors and we have recently described alpha(2)-adrenoceptors in human ...
Follicular wave dynamics and Growth factors gene expression in Braford heifers
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-11)
The objectives of the present study were (experiment 1) to characterized development and dynamics of the dominant follicles (DF) and the corpus luteum (CL) to determine patterns of two (W2) and three (W3) follicular waves ...
Cell Volume Regulation and Aquaporins
(Sociedad Argentina de Fisiología, 2009-03)
In the recent years, the importance of the volume of a given cell has been accepted not only in defining its intracellular osmolality and its shape, but also in defining other cellular functions, such as transepithelial ...
Zeta potential changes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during fermentative and respiratory cycles
(Elsevier Science, 2019-02)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a type of yeast, widely used in diverse biotechnological food-beverage processes. Although the performance of an industrial fermentation process depends largely on the number of cells, it is ...
Retina stem cells, hopes and obstacles
(Baishideng Publishing, 2021-10-26)
Retinal degeneration is a major contributor to visual dysfunction worldwide. Although it comprises several eye diseases, loss of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) and photoreceptor cells are the major contributors to their ...
Simplified microenvironments and reduced cell culture size influence the cell differentiation outcome in cellular microarrays
(Springer, 2013-01)
Cellular microarrays present a promising tool for multiplex evaluation of the signalling effect of substrate-immobilized factors on cellular differentiation. In this paper, we compare the early myoblast-to-osteoblast cell ...
High RAC3 expression levels are required for induction and maintaining of cancer cell stemness
(Impact Journals, 2017-12)
RAC3 is a transcription coactivator, usually overexpressed in several tumors and required to maintain the pluripotency in normal stem cells. In this work we studied the association between RAC3 overexpression on cancer ...
