Airways microbiota: Hidden Trojan horses in asbestos exposed individuals?
(2014)Malignant pleura mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare type of cancer with devastating prognosis, which develops in the pleural cavity from transformed mesothelium. MPM has been directly associated with asbestos exposure however ... -
Association of KLOTHO Gene Polymorphisms with Knee Osteoarthritis in Greek Population
(2008)Based on the fact that klotho-deficient mice exhibit multiple aging phenotypes, including osteopenia and subchondral sclerosis of joints and on the recent observation that KLOTHO gene plays an important role in calcium/phosphate ... -
Electrocatalytic activity of Vulcan-XC-72 supported Pd, Rh and PdxRhy toward HOR and ORR
(2015)Carbon-supported (Vulcan XC-72) Pd, Rh, and PdxRhy (20 wt%, x:y = 1:1, 3:1, 1:3) electrocatalysts are prepared according a modified pulse-microwave assisted polyol synthesis method and their electrocatalytic activity toward ... -
Endothelin-1 Acutely Reduces the Permeability of Visceral Sheep Peritoneum In Vitro Through Both Endothelin-A and Endothelin-B Receptors
(2013)Mesothelium is an important part of the peritoneal barrier for water and ion transport, essential for effective peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal fibrosis has been associated with PD treatment failure. Endothelin-1 ... -
Genome-Wide Analysis of the Phosphoinositide Kinome from Two Ciliates Reveals Novel Evolutionary Links for Phosphoinositide Kinases in Eukaryotic Cells
(2013)Background: The complexity of phosphoinositide signaling in higher eukaryotes is partly due to expansion of specific families and types of phosphoinositide kinases (PIKs) that can generate all phosphoinositides via multiple ... -
Insulin Alters the Permeability of Sheep Pleura
(2010)Aim: Insulin promotes ion transportation across epithelia, mainly kidneys, leading to water and electrolyte abnormalities, possibly causing 'insulin oedema syndrome', which rarely presents as pleural effusion. Direct ... -
Low and non-platinum electrocatalysts for PEMFCs: Current status, challenges and prospects
(2012)Platinum-based nanomaterials are the most commonly adopted electrocatalysts for both anode and cathode reactions in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) fed with hydrogen or low molecular alcohols. However, the ... -
Role of Electrolytes and Glucose in the Insulin-Induced Electrochemical Effect in Sheep Pleura
(2010)Aim: Insulin induces electrochemical alterations in sheep visceral and parietal pleura, an effect abolished by the Na(+)-channel blocker amiloride and the Na(+)-K(+) pump inhibitor ouabain. The aim of this study was to ...
