To describe changes and gender differences in the muscle-bone unit at different skeletal sites during pubertal development. 442 children aged 5-18 years were studied. Measurements of bone mineral content (BMC), lean mass (LM) and fat mass…
We try to design methods for the analysis of stem cell biology in human tissues with the aim of understanding the role of stem cells in the maintenance of normal tissue architecture and the progression to malignancy.
We examined whether gastric acidity would affect the activity of myrosinase, co-delivered with glucoraphanin (GR), to convert GR to sulforaphane (SF). A broccoli seed and sprout extract (BSE) rich in GR and active myrosinase was delivered…
Appropriate nutrition during early development is essential for maximal bone mass accretion; however, linkage between early nutrition, childhood bone mass, peak bone mass in adulthood, and prevention of bone loss later in life has not been…
It is now known that a combination of KSHV infection and impaired host immunity causes KS but, although AIDS-related KS and iatrogenic KS are associated with well-defined immunodeficiency, the impaired immune function in classic KS (thought…
Lrp5 is typically described as a Wnt signaling receptor, albeit a less effective Wnt signaling receptor than the better-studied sister isoform, Lrp6. Here we show that Lrp5 is only a minor player in the response to Wnt3a-type ligands in…
