Battin, Margaret P. | Age-rationing and the just distribution of health care: Is there a duty to die? | The author analyzes the argument that a policy involving distributive justice in the allocation of scarce health care resources, based on the strategy of rational self interest maximation under a veil of ignorance (Rawls/Daniels), would result in an age rationing system of voluntary, socially encour... | Health care providers; Death; Euthanasia | 1987-01 |

Kriesel, John D.; Maulden, Sarah Annamarie; Spruance, Spotswood L. | Anti-interleukin-6 antibodies inhibit herpes simplex virus reactivation. | Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) infect epithelial cells, become localized in neurons, and can reactivate in response to a variety of stimuli, including ultraviolet light and hyperthermia. The sequence of gene activation during viral replication is known, but the molecular linkage between exogenous sti... | Mice, Inbred BALB C; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha; Virus Activation | 1997 |

Hunt, Steven C. | Association of egg consumption and calcified atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries: The NHLBI Family Heart Study | Background and Aims: Eggs are a ubiquitous and important source of dietary cholesterol and nutrients, yet their relationship to coronary heart disease (CHD) remains unclear. While some data have suggested a positive association between egg consumption and CHD, especially among diabetic subjects, lim... | | 2014-01-01 |

Capecchi, Mario R.; Mansour, Suzanne L.; Thomas, Kirk R. | Disruption of the proto-oncogene int-2 in mouse embryo-derived stem cells: a general strategy for targeting mutations to non-selectable genes. | Gene targeting--homologous recombination of DNA sequences residing in the chromosome with newly introduced DNA sequences--in mouse embryo-derived stem cells promises to provide a means to generate mice of any desired genotype. We describe a positive nd negative selection procedure that enriches 2,00... | Animals; Clone Cells; Restriction Mapping; Stem Cells | 1988-11-24 |

Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Efficient correction of mismatched bases in plasmid heteroduplexes injected into cultured mammalian cell nuclei. | Heteroduplexes were prepared from two plasmids, pRH4-14/TK and pRH5-8/TK, containing different amber mutations in the neomycin resistance gene (Neor). The Neor gene was engineered to be expressed in both bacterial and mammalian cells. A functional Neor gene conferred kanamycin resistance to bacteria... | Cell Nucleus; Cells, Cultured; Microinjections | 1985-01 |

Lopansri, Bert; Stoddard, Gregory J.; Hobbs, Maurine R.; Granger, Donald Lee | Elevated plasma phenylalanine in severe malaria and implications for pathophysiology of neurological complications. | Cerebral malaria is associated with decreased production of nitric oxide and decreased levels of its precursor, l-arginine. Abnormal amino acid metabolism may thus be an important factor in malaria pathogenesis. We sought to determine if other amino acid abnormalities are associated with disease sev... | Dystonia; Phenylalanine Hydroxylase; Tyrosine | 2006-06-01 |

Francis, Leslie | Eminent domain compensation in the Western states: a critique of the fair market value model | Both the United States Constitution and the constitutions of the states of the intermountain west and the Pacific Coast prohibit the state from taking property without paying just compensation. Thus, there are two basic issues in any eminent domain case. First, has governmental interference with pro... | Eminent domain; Compensation; Governmental interference; Fair Market Value | 2006-06-16 |

Hobbs, Maurine R.; Granger, Donald Lee | Inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) promoter CCTTT repeat polymorphism: relationship to in vivo nitric oxide production/NOS activity in an asymptomatic malaria-endemic population | Polymorphisms in the inducible nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS2) promoter have been associated with clinical outcome from malaria. These include a CCTTT repeat (CCTTTn) 2.5 kilobases upstream from the NOS2 transcription start site, and two single nucleotide substitutions: G-->C at position -954 (G-9... | Papua New Guinea; Oceanic Ancestry Group; Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid | 2003 |

Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Introduction of homologous DNA sequences into mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate gene. | Injection of homologous DNA sequences into nuclei of cultured mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate chromosomal gene. It appears that these mutations result from incorrect repair of a heteroduplex formed between the introduced and the chromosomal sequence. This phenomenon is termed 'heter... | Animals; Cell Line; Drug Resistance, Microbial; Fibroblasts; Mice; Models, Genetic; Neomycin; Plasmids | 1986-11-06 |

We describe a case of invasive sinonasal infection with Scopulariopsis candida (not among the Mucorale... | Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor; Itraconazole; Maxillary Sinus | 1994 |

Francis, Leslie | Justice through trust: disability and the Outlier problem in Social Contract Theory | The article focuses on the flaws of the social contract theory. It explores how hostile the social contract as a bargaining process has been thought to distance disabled people from contract-based justice. It analyzes the argument that the history of social contract theory exclude the people with di... | Consensus, social sciences; Discrimination; Social contract; Social ethics; Sociology of disability | 2005-10 |

Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Maintenance of functional equivalence during paralogous Hox gene evolution. | Biological diversity is driven mainly by gene duplication followed by mutation and selection. This divergence in either regulatory or protein-coding sequences can result in quite different biological functions for even closely related genes. This concept is exemplified by the mammalian Hox gene comp... | Alleles; Animals; Cervical Vertebrae; Embryo; Genetic Complementation Test; Homeodomain Proteins; Homozygote; Mice | 2000-02-10 |

Baehr, Wolfgang; Rao, Narayanam V. | Molecular characterization of a third member of the guanylyl cyclase-activating protein subfamily | The mammalian retina contains at least two guanylyl cyclases (GC1 and GC2) and two guanylyl cyclase-activating proteins (GCAP1 and GCAP2). Here we present evidence of the presence of a new photoreceptor-specific GCAP, termed GCAP3, which is closely related to GCAP1. The sequence similarity of GCAP3 ... | Amino Acid Sequence; Cloning, Molecular; Gene Expression Regulation | 1999 |

Eichwald, Ernst; Capecchi, Mario R.; Thomas, Kirk R. | Mouse model for the delta F508 allele of cystic fibrosis | The most common cause of cystic fibrosis is a mutation that deletes phenylalanine 508 in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The delta F508 protein is misprocessed and degraded rather than traveling to the apical membrane. We used a novel strategy to introduce the delta F508 ... | Digestive System; Disease Models, Animal; Electrolytes; Mice, Inbred C57BL | 1995-10 |
