THE HEPARIN-BINDING ACTIVITY OF SECRETED MODULAR CALCIUM-BINDING PROTEIN 1 (SMOC-1) MODULATES ITS CELL ADHESION PROPERTIES.

The heparin-binding activity of secreted modular calcium-binding protein 1 (SMOC-1) modulates its cell adhesion properties.

Secreted modular calcium-binding proteins 1 and 2 (SMOC-1 and SMOC-1) are extracellular calcium- binding proteins belonging to the BM-40 family of proteins.In this work we have identified a highly basic region in the extracellular Cough Remedies calcium-binding (EC) domain of the SMOC-1 similar to other known glycosaminoglycan-binding motifs.Size-e

How health-conscious urban gardeners aim to increase vegetable consumption in their community while simultaneously supporting Black entrepreneurship

While the food justice movement was initially asso­ciated with increasing availability of fresh produce in low-income communities of color through insti­tutions such as farmers markets, scholars have cri­tiqued this as imposing a right way of eating.Food justice scholarship has moved away from a focus on healthy eating toward a focus on communit

Short sleep duration is associated with shorter telomere length in healthy men: findings from the Whitehall II cohort study.

Shorter telomere length and poor R/C Airplane sleep are more prevalent at older ages, but their relationship is uncertain.This study explored associations between sleep duration and telomere length in a sample of healthy middle and early old age people.Participants were 434 men and women aged 63.3 years on average drawn from the Whitehall II cohort
