Selective inhibition by antiflamrnin-2 of thromboxane B2 release from isolated and perfused guinea-pig lung by Lidia Sautebin, Giuseppe Cirino, Massimo Di Rosa

“…When tested in chopped lung fragments AF-2 (0.1–25 μM) did not modify the release of histamine and TXB2 induced by antigen (ovalbumin, 10 μg ml−1) or calcium ionophore A 23187 (1 μM). Our results show that the inhibitory effect of AF-2 on TXB2 release is selective and depends on the stimulus applied. …”

Don't die like me: Which proteins are responsible for the selective neuronal vulnerability within the substantia nigra? by Simone Steinbach, Mariana Molina, Lea T Grinberg, Luisa Aring, Annika Guntermann, Katrin Marcus, Helmut Heinsen, Renata E Paraizo Leite, Caroline May

“…These proteins are associated with the cytoskeleton, neuronal plasticity, or calcium homeostasis. With these findings a deeper understanding can be gained of the selective neuronal vulnerability within the substantia nigra and of protective mechanisms against neurodegeneration in specific neuronal subpopulations.…”
