 | Baehr, Wolfgang | Cloning and sequence analysis of the major outer membrane protein genes of two Chlamydia psittaci strains | We cloned and sequenced the gene encoding the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of two Chlamydia psittaci strains, guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis (GPIC) strain 1, and meningopneumonitis (Mn) strain Cal-10. Intraspecies alignment of the two C. psittaci MOMP genes revealed 80.6% similarity, and... | Base Sequence; Cloning, Molecular; Amino Acid Sequence | 1989 |

 | Kestle, John R. W. | Potentially useful outcome measures for clinical research in pediatric neurosurgery | The choice of outcome (or outcomes) and their measurement are critical for a sound clinical trial. Surgeons have traditionally measured simple outcomes such as death, duration of survival, or tumor recurrence but have recently developed more sophisticated measures of the effect of an intervention. M... | Pediatric neurosurgery | 2005 |

 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Fundamental cellular processes do not require vertebrate-specific sequences within the TATA-binding protein. | The 180-amino acid core of the TATA-binding protein (TBPcore) is conserved from Archae bacteria to man. Vertebrate TBPs contain, in addition, a large and highly conserved N-terminal region that is not found in other phyla. We have generated a line of mice in which the tbp allele is replaced with a v... | Mice, Knockout; Cells, Cultured; Fibroblasts; Embryo | 2003-02-21 |

 | 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 |

 | Kestle, John R. W. | Multicenter prospective cohort study of the Strata valve for the management of hydrocephalus in pediatric patients | Object.

 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Hox genes and mammalian development | We have examined the interactions of Hox genes in forming a cervical vertebrae, hindbrain, and limbs. In each case, it is apparent that individual Hox genes are performing individual functions but that more profound roles are apparent when they act in combination with others Hox genes. The observed ... | Drosophila; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Homozygote | 1997 |

 | Gesteland, Raymond F.; Baranov, Pavel V.; Atkins, John F.; Hammer, Andrew W. | Transcriptional slippage in bacteria: distribution in sequenced genomes and utilization in IS element gene expression | ABSTRACT: Background: Transcription slippage occurs on certain patterns of repeat mononucleotides, resulting in synthesis of a heterogeneous population of mRNAs. Individual mRNA molecules within this population differ in the number of nucleotides they contain that are not specified by the templat... | Transcription slippage; Bacterial genomes; IS element genes | 2005 |

 | Digre, Kathleen B. | Significance of CT and MR findings in sphenoid sinus disease. | Disorders of the paranasal sinuses, particularly the sphenoid sinus, can be associated with significant disorders of the optic and other cranial nerves. We examined 100 consecutive routine CT scans, 100 posterior fossa CT scans, and 100 MR scans to look for evidence of sinus disease, especially of t... | Sphenoid Sinus; Vision Disorders; Paranasal Sinus Diseases; Magnetic Resonance Imaging | 1989-05 |

 | Frederick, Jeanne M.; Baehr, Wolfgang | Receptor for advanced glycation end products and age-related macular degeneration. | Advanced glycation end products (AGE) exacerbate disease progression through two general mechanisms: modifying molecules and forming nondegradable aggregates, thus impairing normal cellular/tissue functions, and altering cellular function directly through receptor-mediated activation. In the present... | Optic Atrophies, Hereditary; Apoptosis; Pigment Epithelium of Eye | 2004 |
