Within the past 2 years, a putative causal relationship has been reported between
vaccination against rabies and the development of fibrosarcomas at injection sites in cats. A …

β-Arrestins were initially shown, in conjunction with G protein-coupled receptor kinases, to
be involved in the desensitization and internalization of activated seven-transmembrane …

Available corrector drugs are unable to effectively rescue the folding defects of CFTR-ΔF508
(or CFTR-F508del), the most common disease-causing mutation of the cystic fibrosis …

Chemotaxis is a cellular response that directs cell migration toward a chemical gradient and
is fundamental to a variety of cellular processes. The receptors for most known chemokines …

Binding of β-arrestins to seven-membrane-spanning receptors (7MSRs) not only leads to
receptor desensitization and endocytosis but also elicits additional signaling processes. We …

Receptor desensitization progressively limits responsiveness of cells to chronically applied
stimuli. Desensitization in the continuous presence of agonist has been difficult to study with …

Citrobacter isolates. Am J Clin Pathol 70: 37–40, 1978. Little is known about the clinical …

Acanthamoeba castellanii (JBM) was cultivated in a peptone-yeast extract-glucose medium
in Erlenmeyer flasks on a rotary shaker at 30 C. Under these conditions the amebae have a …
