PURPOSE: To review a 26-year single-center clinical experience with inferior vena caval
filters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: During 1973–1998, 1,765 filters were implanted in 1,731 …

(Shh) gene has been implicated as the ventral pat-terning influence from the notochord that
induces sclerotome and represses dermomyotome in somite differentiation. Long-range …

Objectives The objective of this study is to review the basics of laser and established tissue
response patterns to thermal injury, with specific reference to endovenous laser ablation (…

Skeletal muscle tissue provides mechanical force for locomotion of all vertebrate animals. It
is prone to damage from acute physical trauma and physiological stress. To cope with this, it …

Embryonic patterning in vertebrates is dependent upon the balance of inductive signals and
their specific antagonists. We show thatNoggin, which encodes a bone morphogenetic …

An early step in the development of vertebrae, ribs, muscle, and dermis is the differentiation
of the somitic mesoderm into dermomyotome dorsally and sclerotome ventrally. To analyze …

… One part was plated on another 3-cm collagen-coated dish but used for sequential … For
quantification of β-gal + cell numbers, the 3-cm dish was fixed and subjected to X-galactosidase …

The DNA binding protein NF-κB has been implicated in gene regulation in B and T
lymphocytes. We have found that NF-κB also has a central role in virus induction of human β-…

In vertebrates, muscles of the limbs and body wall derive from the lateral compartment of the
embryonic somites, and axial muscles derive from the medial compartment. Whereas the …

The bHLH–PAS transcription factor SIM1 is expressed during the development of the
hypothalamic–pituitary axis in three hypothalamic nuclei: the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), the …
