Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake of apoptotic cells drives the growth of a pathogenic trypanosome in macrophages.
Celio Geraldo Freire-de-Lima,Danielle Oliveira Nascimento,Milena Botelho Pereira Soares,Patrícia T. Bozza,Hugo C. Castro-Faria-Neto,F.G. de Mello,George A. DosReis,Marcela F. Lopes +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that continual lymphocyte apoptosis and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophages have a role in parasite persistence in the host, and that cyclooxygenase inhibitors have potential therapeutic application in the control of parasite replication and spread in Chagas' disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of dopamine- and adenosine-dependent adenylate cyclase systems of chicken embryo retina cells in culture.
M. C. F. De Mello,Ana Lucia Marques Ventura,R. Paes de Carvalho,William L. Klein,F.G. de Mello +4 more
TL;DR: Evidence is obtained that receptor-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1] is regulated physiologically in both embryonic and mature neurons, and that regulation of the dopamine receptor system begins early in development and continues to function in mature synapses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic activity derived from bone marrow mononuclear cells increases peripheral nerve regeneration by acting on both neuronal and glial cell populations.
Victor T. Ribeiro-Resende,Pedro M. Pimentel-Coelho,Louise A. Mesentier-Louro,R.M.B. Mendez,J.P.C. Mello-Silva,M. C. Cabral-da-Silva,F.G. de Mello,R. A. De Melo Reis,Rosalia Mendez-Otero +8 more
TL;DR: A rat model of complete sciatic nerve transection was used to evaluate the effect of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) transplanted to the injury site immediately after lesion as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of A1 adenosine receptors modulating dopamine-dependent cyclic AMP accumulation in the chick embryo retina.
TL;DR: The data suggest the existence of two populations of D1 dopamine receptors in the chick embryo retina—one that is negatively modulated by adenosine and another that is not under purinergic control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspartate as a selective NMDA receptor agonist in cultured cells from the avian retina.
TL;DR: The results indicate that in the retina, l-aspartate modulates its excitatory function on a set of GABAergic cells via the selective activation of NMDA receptors.
