Journal ArticleDOI
Tie-2 is expressed on thyroid follicular cells, is increased in goiter, and is regulated by thyrotropin through cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate
James D. Ramsden,Helen C. Cocks,M. Shams,Sarbjit Nijjar,John Watkinson,Michael C. Sheppard,Asif Ahmed,Margaret C. Eggo +7 more
TL;DR: Tie-2 expression is increased in goiter in both humans and rats, consistent with a role in goitrogenesis, and the regulation of Tie-2 by TSH and cAMP in follicular cells is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localisation of hepatocyte growth factor and its receptor (c-met) protein and mRNA in human term placenta.
TL;DR: Results indicate that HGF may serve as a paracrine mediator to control placental development and growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
VEGF-E activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase to induce angiogenesis via cGMP and PKG-independent pathways
TL;DR: It is shown that VEGF-E, a VEGFR-2-selective ligand stimulates NO release and tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and this data provides the first demonstration that V EGFR- 2-mediated NO signaling and subsequent angiogenesis is through a mechanism that is dependent on PLCgamma but independent of cGMP and PKG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compartmentalization and cyclic variation of immunoreactivity of renin and angiotensin converting enzyme in human endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle
Xiao-Feng Li,Asif Ahmed +1 more
TL;DR: The cellular localization and cyclic distribution of renin and ACE in human endometrium are demonstrated and supports the previous proposition that angiotensin II has different functions at the different stages of the menstrual cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnobotany and Antimicrobial Peptides From Plants of the Solanaceae Family: An Update and Future Prospects
Mohasana Afroz,Sanzida Akter,Asif Ahmed,Razina Rouf,Jamil A. Shilpi,Evelin Tiralongo,Satyajit D. Sarker,Ulf Göransson,Shaikh Jamal Uddin +8 more
TL;DR: It is evident that AMPs from this family possess considerable antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacterial and fungal pathogens and can be regarded as a potential source for lead molecules to develop new antimicrobial agents.
