α 2-Adrenoceptors: Challenges and Opportunities—Enlightenment from the Kidney by William A. Pettinger, Edwin K. Jackson

“…Subsequent studies clarified the molecular pathways by which α2-ARs activate prohypertensive biochemical systems. While investigating the role of α1-adrenoceptors (α1-ARs) versus α2-ARs in renal sympathetic neurotransmission, we noted an astonishing result: in the kidney α1-ARs suppress the postjunctional expression of α2-ARs. …”

Coincident In Vitro Analysis of DNA-PK-Dependent and -Independent Nonhomologous End Joining by Cynthia L. Hendrickson, Shubhadeep Purkayastha, Elzbieta Pastwa, Ronald D. Neumann, Thomas A. Winters

“…We have developed an in vitro assay that is preferentially active for DNA-PK-independent DSB repair based solely on its reaction conditions, facilitating coincident differential biochemical analysis of the two pathways. The results indicate the biochemically distinct nature of the end-joining mechanisms represented by the DNA-PK-dependent and -independent NHEJ assays as well as functional differences between the two pathways.…”

Joint use of polyvalent serum and immunomodulators for calves in early postnatal period by N. V. Shanshin

“…The paper demonstrates how a joint use of polyvalent serum and immunomodulators affects morbidity, survival, and resistance of calves in the early postnatal period.The objectives of the research are: to study how a joint administration of polyvalent serum and immunomodulators changes dynamics of morpho-biochemical and immunological blood parameters in calves; to determine an optimal ratio between the polyvalent serum and immunomodulators and frequency of administration so that to increase overall body resistance, ensure survival of calves in the early postnatal period; to assess cost-effectiveness of the joint use of polyvalent serum and immunomodulators. …”
