Hormones are secreted by some tumors. Some of the examples are insulin being secreted by the tumor of the islet cell and calcitonin by the medullary thyroid carcinoma. In some cases, the hormones are ...

Enzyme hunters at UiO have discovered the function of an enzyme that is important in the spreading of cancer. Cancer researchers now hope to inhibit the enzyme. The new discovery could be ...

A method for the preparation of HeLa cell plasma membrane ghosts is described. The purity of the plasma membrane fraction was examined by phase contrast and electron microscopy, by chemical analysis, ...

In a series of lab experiments designed to unravel the workings of a key enzyme widely considered a possible trigger of rheumatoid arthritis, researchers have found that in the most severe cases of ...

Prematurity may influence the levels of amino acids, enzymes, and endocrine markers obtained through newborn screening. Identifying which analytes are the most affected by degree of prematurity could ...

Cardio vascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Most of the deaths occur even before a patient reaches the hospital for treatment. Cardiac markers are biomarkers which are ...

Patients with persistently abnormal liver function tests but no serologic evidence of liver disease may nevertheless have hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, according to a study published in the ...

The cytochemical localizations of malate synthase (glyoxysomal marker) and glycolate oxidase (peroxisomal marker) have been examined in cotyledon segments and sucrose-gradient fractions from ...

In a series of lab experiments designed to unravel the workings of a key enzyme widely considered a possible trigger of rheumatoid arthritis, researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that in the most ...
