This study aims to know the effect of macrophage therapies on muscle l regeneration and endogenous stem cell activation towards new muscleMethods: Adult male Swiss mice were subjected to an injury in the gastrocnemius, close to the myotendinous junction, using a 2-mm biopsy tube. Animals were assigned to the following groups: 1.- Injury; 2.- Injury+ clodronate. Macrophages were depleted 24 hours after injury by clodronate injection. 3. - Injury+ clodronate+ macrophage therapy. Macrophage depleted mice were treated with an intramuscularl injection of 1 million peritoneal macrophages modified with intermittent anoxia reoxygenation. Animals were sacrificed at 4, and 15 days after the injury, (n = 8 per study time). Gene expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) and Ki67 as cell proliferating markers, mannose receptor Ecotype 1(MRC1) and Interleukin1...

Nucleophilic ring-opening of N-nosyl aziridines with cyanide ions followed by hydrolysis of the corresponding nitriles lead to N-nosyl b 3 -amino acids, which can be readily converted into a variety of derivatives bearing adequate functionality for peptide synthesis. The proposed methodology is simple, ef®cient, and amenable to large-scale preparations. q

Research paper thumbnail of Toward an understanding of the factors responsible for the 1,2-migration of alkyl groups in borate complexes

Pure and Applied Chemistry, 2000

We recently showed that chiral sulfur ylides react with boranes to give homologated products with high enantiomeric excess. In considering reactions with mixed boranes, the issue of which group would migrate arises. Although we are primarily interested in sulfur ylide reactions with boranes, in this review we have summarized the most important factors that are responsible for which group migrates from a broad spectrum of reactions involving borate complexes. We also discuss the use of blocking/nonmigrating groups and highlight when they are effective and not effective. Consideration of the most important factors that affect the outcome of which group migrates and understanding how and why blocking groups work, provides a strategy for desig...
