Journal ArticleDOI
The role of adrenocorticoids as modulators of immune function in health and disease: neural, endocrine and immune interactions.
Bruce S. McEwen,Christine A. Biron,Kenneth W. Brunson,Karen Bulloch,William H. Chambers,Firdaus S. Dhabhar,Ronald H. Goldfarb,Richard P. Kitson,Andrew H. Miller,Robert L. Spencer,Jay M. Weiss +10 more
TL;DR: This work presents a meta-anatomy of the adrenal gland and its role in the development and management of disease and urges further investigation into the role of “cell reprograming” and “reconcretization” in the course of disease progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immediate early detection of urokinase receptor after partial hepatectomy and its implications for initiation of liver regeneration
Wendy M. Mars,Meng-Lun Liu,Richard P. Kitson,Ronald H. Goldfarb,Megan K. Gabauer,George K. Michalopoulos +5 more
TL;DR: The de novo appearance of active uPA in livers from male Fischer F344 rats that underwent 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx) is documented, implying that both uPA and uPAR are involved in activating endogenous HGF in the regenerating livers of animals that underwent PHx.
Patent
Anti-angiogenic peptides and methods of use thereof
Luca Rastelli,Mary K. Lescoe,Melissa Corso,Richard P. Kitson,Judith Landin,Lina Souan,Uriel M. Malyankar +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, anti-angiogenic peptides that inhibit VEGF-mediated activation or proliferation of endothelial cells are disclosed, and such peptides may be used to inhibit the VEGFR2 binding to the KDR.
Journal Article
Matrix Metalloproteinases Produced by Rat IL-2-Activated NK Cells
Richard P. Kitson,Pierette M. Appasamy,Ulf Nannmark,Per Albertsson,Megan K. Gabauer,Ronald H. Goldfarb +5 more
TL;DR: The studies show that A-NK cells employ BB-94-inhibitable matrix metalloproteinases to degrade extracellular matrices, which suggests that matrix meetallop Proteinases may play a role in the accumulation of A- NK cells within cancer metastases.
Journal Article
Evidence for involvement of B lymphocytes in the surveillance of lung metastasis in the rat.
Ning Quan,Zhao-bin Zhang,Melissa K. Demetrikopoulos,Richard P. Kitson,William H. Chambers,Ronald H. Goldfarb,Jay M. Weiss +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the composition of lymphocytes within the lung after the introduction of tumor cells that metastasize to the lung in rats suggests that early responses of B lymphocytes are important in protection against tumor development in two rat models of cancer.
