Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy

Daniel J. Klionsky, +1287 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liver ischemia/reperfusion injury: Processes in inflammatory networks—A review

Mahmoud Abu-Amara, +8 more
- 01 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: Recent findings pertaining to the aforementioned factors of liver IR are discussed, and areas with gaps in knowledge are highlighted, necessitating further research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different roles of the IGF-I Ec peptide (MGF) and mature IGF-I in myoblast proliferation and differentiation.

Shi Yu Yang, +1 more
- 03 Jul 2002 - 
TL;DR: The physiological function of a recently cloned splice variant of insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I; mechano growth factor (MGF) was studied using an in vitro cell model and blocking the IGF‐I receptor with a specific antibody indicated that the function of MGF E domain is mediated via a different receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning and characterization of an IGF-1 isoform expressed in skeletal muscle subjected to stretch.

Shi Yu Yang, +3 more
- 01 Aug 1996 - 
TL;DR: To ascertain if IGF-1 is a regulator of local muscle growth, total RNA was extracted from rabbit muscle induced to undergo rapid hypertrophy using active stretch and from control muscles to confirm that alternative splicing of the insulin-like growth factor 1 gene occurs in muscle in response to physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of insulin growth factor‐1 splice variants and structural genes in rabbit skeletal muscle induced by stretch and stimulation

Godfrina Mckoy, +6 more
- 15 Apr 1999 - 
TL;DR: It was concluded that the increased expression of this cytoskeletal protein gene is an indication that the production of IGF‐1 may initially be a response to local damage.
