We have investigated the anti-angiogenic effect of a polymeric peptide based on the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) core sequence of fibronectin as a monomer unit, i.e., poly(RGD), in syngeneic mice and in vitro. Single intratumoral administration of poly(RGD) on day 0, 1

The three main components YI, YII, and Z of clupeine, a protamine from herring, have been purified and characterized. The conformational preferences of clupeines have been examined as a funciton of pH, temperature, added salts, and presence of structure-disrupting agents

Platelet deficiency, known as thrombocytopenia, can cause hemorrhage and is treated with platelet transfusions. We developed a system for the production of platelet precursor cells, megakaryocytes, from pluripotent stem cells. These cultures can be maintained for >100 days, implying culture

The three main fractions of clupeine, the protamine extracted from herring sperm, have been investigated by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The dynamic behaviour, examined through the evaluation of the spin lattice relaxation times (T1) of individual carbon resonances assigned

Galactosyltransferase was purified from Golgi membranes of lactating-rat mammary gland and studied with respect to its physical and enzymic (lactose synthetase) properties. The enzyme occurred in both monomeric (43-46 kDa) and apparently dimeric (90 kDa) forms. It was very unstable
