Abstract:

The primary function of airway smooth muscle is to contract, regulating the airway tone and bronchial narrowing. Research extending over a number of decades has identified many of the major factors contributing to the degree of bronchial contraction at a cellular level including receptor mediated activation of airway smooth muscle by agonists, electrical and other membrane events, intracellular cascades and assembly of contractile and cytoskeletal proteins. Furthermore, airways function is also regulated by a number of key airway, lung and teleological events that collectively determine the br

Abstract:

Lean Management (LM) is a multi-faceted socio-technical approach that requires organizations to strive along several dimensions simultaneously. Initially, a conceptual model has been proposed for investigating the network of influences among lean practices, operational responsiveness and company growth performances in Italian companies. A structural equation modelling and a second order confirmatory factor analysis have been used to test the hypothesized relationships in the structural models. Secondly, including manufacturing firms belonging to 23 different countries, the factors influencin

In endocrinology dynamic testing forms an essential part of investigation. To assess the central capacity of the GH-lGF-1 axis there is extensive experience in paediatric and adult populations of numerous physiological and pharmacological tests. However tests to assess the peripheral capacity of the GH-IGF-1 axis beyond a simple baseline lGF-1 level are limited to the IGF-1 generation test (IGFGT).

Abstract:

Police officers make decisions at the street level in a variety of situations that have direct impact on quality of life, justice in society, and individual freedom. These decisions inherently involve the exercise of discretion, since successfully performed police tasks are linked to the officer's choosing among alternative courses of action. Appropriateness of unsupervised decisions taken under street contingencies remains questionable in terms of police-behavior legitimacy. Law enforcement agencies seek ways to control excessive discretion to avoid undesired consequences of police discretion

Abstract:

Osteocalcin (OC) is a bone specific protein expressed during differentiation and mineralization of the bone extracellular matrix. The Osteocalcin gene is transcriptionally regulated by several basal, hormone- and cytokine-responsive elements. To address the potential role of TGF-β1 regulation and tissue-specific expression of the OC gene, we defined regulatory elements and factors mediating the transcriptional activity of the rat OC (rOC) promoter. TGF-β1 modulates the differentiation of cells of the osteogenic lineage and downregulates the osteoblast-specific expression of OC. By promoter del

Abstract:

The Snail1 transcriptional repressor is a key factor responsible in triggering epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Although Snail1 is widely expressed in early development, it is limited in adult animals to a subset of mesenchymal cells where it has a largely unknown function. In this project we have demonstrated that Snail1 is required to maintain mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This effect is associated to the responsiveness to TGF-[beta]1 which showed a strong Snail1 dependence. Snail1-depletion in conditional knock-out adult animals caused a significant decrease in the number of bone mar

Abstract:

The pro-inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor (TNF) exerts its bioactivity via two plasma membrane receptors, TNF receptor (TNFR)1 and TNFR2. Both receptors are fully activated by membrane-bound TNF, while soluble TNF (sTNF) activates only TNFR1 efficiently. Preliminary data from our group suggest that the membrane proximal extracellular region (stalk region) and/or the transmembrane region of the TNFR control the differential responsiveness to sTNF. The aims of this project were to ascertain the region determining sTNF responsiveness and to investigate the underlying molecular mechanis

Increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass contributes to airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in asthma and is orchestrated by growth factors, cytokines and chemokines. Airway contractile responses are influenced by neuromediators, such as acetylcholine, and glutamate released by parasympathetic and sympathetic airway nerves. Hyperactivity of these neural elements, termed neurogenic inflammation, is linked with hypercontractility and AHR.

During neural development the generation of diverse cell types involves the response of precursor cells to a wide variety of environmental cues, like soluble factors, the extracellular matrix and oxygen tension.
