MODULATION OF RHODOPSIN GENE EXPRESSION AND SIGNALING MECHANISMS EVOKED BY ENDOTHELINS IN GOLDFISH AND MURINE PIGMENT CELL LINES

Modulation of rhodopsin gene expression and signaling mechanisms evoked by endothelins in goldfish and murine pigment cell lines

Endothelins (ETs) CHOC PROTEIN FERMENTED VEG and sarafotoxins (SRTXs) belong to a family of vasoconstrictor peptides, which regulate pigment migration and/or production in vertebrate pigment cells.The teleost Carassius auratus erythrophoroma cell line, GEM-81, and Mus musculus B16 melanocytes express rhodopsin, as well as the ET receptors, ETB and

Selective bilateral internal iliac artery embolization for controlling refractory hematuria due to the metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder: a case report

Bladder squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) may lead to gross hematuria.However, the metastasis of head and neck cutaneous SCC to the urinary bladder has not been described in literature.Nowadays, noninvasive methods such as embolization, are considered as an appropriate choice for controlling life-threatening hematuria in patients with high operative ri
