... tissues in rats [ 10 ]. Pro-Hyp has been reported to act on cell differentiation such as that of osteoblasts and fibroblasts [ 11–15 ]. Collagen-derived peptides are of exogenous as well as endogenous origins. We hypothesized that the Pro-Hyp was absorbed from the blood or produced by osteoclasts to up...

Burrows; Tianbao Chen Antimicrobial peptides are a promising resource for developing novel antibiotic and even anticancer drugs. Here, a 28-mer polypeptide, Ranatuerin-2PLx (R2PLx), was identified from...

... of saliva peptide fingerprints for the early detection of OSCC, we screened the expression spectrum of salivary peptides in 40 T1 stage OSCC patients (and healthy controls) using MALDI-TOF-MS combined with magnetic beads. Fifty proteins showed significantly different expression levels in the OSCC samples...

...G. Csaba; P. Kovács Proline-glycine, proline-leucine and proline-valine dipeptides and their retro variants were used in the experiments to study the effects of pretreatment (imprinting) in Tetrahymena, by investigating fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated peptide binding. The protozoan...

...G. Csaba; L. Kôhidai L-alanine and its peptides (L-Ala-2–6) do not attract or repulse Tetrahymena in a 10 −8 M concentration. In 10 −10 M concentration there is a consistent repellent effect. Twenty four hours after L-alanine or L-alanine-peptides' pretreatment (imprinting) the progeny generation...

...Rem V. Petrov; Augusta A. Mikhailova; Larissa A. Fonina Bone marrow cells of various animal species and men produce a group of bioregulatory peptides called myelopeptides (MPs). A highly purified MP fraction and some individual molecules have been isolated from the supernatant of porcine bone...

...G. Csaba; Zsuzsa Darvas Certain non-hormone oligopeptides have a greater imprinting effect on Tetrahymena than others. The imprinting potential is unrelated to the length of the peptide chain, but seems greatly dependent on the amino acid sequence. The direct growth-stimulant action developed...
