The plasma generated from a gas mixture of NH 3 plus O 2 (NH 3 + O 2 ) has been used to
impart unique chemical and biological characteristics to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). …

The therapeutic potential of the somatostatin analogue RC‐160 radiolabeled with 188 Re
was evaluated in nude mice bearing xenografts of human prostate adenocarcinoma. Re‐RC‐…

A multidomain, synthetic peptide designated B2A2 synergizes the activity of BMP‐2. B2A2
interacts with BMP receptor isoforms, potentiating the action of BMP‐2 in activating alkaline …

A multi-domain peptide, PAB2-1c, was designed and synthesized as a bioactive mimic of
PDGF. PBA2-1c bound to both α- and β-PDGF receptors as determined by surface plasmon …

Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) is a suitable marker for differentiated thyroid carcinoma after total
thyroid ablation by surgery and 131I therapy. Before the first 131Itreatment, Tg is not a …

Be'ecause of its favorable physical characteristics, low cost, and ready availability,
technetium-99m (WmTc) is a choice radionuclide for gamma scintigraphy. Technetium-99m-labeled …

Object New generations of devices for spinal interbody fusion are expected to arise from the
combined use of bioactive peptides and porous implants. The purpose of this dose-ranging …

OBJECTIVES: Our purpose was to improve the performance of carbon-coated expanded
polytetrafluoroethylene vascular grafts by bonding the grafts with silyl-heparin, a biologically …

Study Design. Using a low cell density, hypoxic, alginate-bead culture system, the effects of
bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and synthetic peptide B2A on cell proliferation and …

Suspensions of multicellular mammary tumor spheroids (MTS) were allowed to interact with
confluent monolayers of endothelial cells cultured on top of collagen gels. A number of early …
