Blockade of advanced glycation end product formation attenuates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats (2009)

Chen, Lei, Wang, Tao, Wang, Xun, Sun, Bei-Bei, Li, Ji-Qiong, Liu, Dai-Shun, ...

Abstract Background Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been proposed to be involved in pulmonary fibrosis, but its role in this process has not been fully understood. To investigate the role...

Evaluation of high efficiency gene knockout strategies for Trypanosoma cruzi (2009)

Xu, Dan, Pérez Brandán, Cecilia, Basombrío, Miguel, Tarleton, Rick L

Abstract Background Trypanosoma cruzi , a kinetoplastid protozoan parasite that causes Chagas disease, infects approximately 15 million people in Central and South America. In contrast to the...

Approximate Optimal Power Allocation Scheme for Wireless Ad hoc Networks in Rayleigh Fading Channels (2008)

Dan Xu, Zhisheng Niu, Fangyu Hu

Abstract — In this paper, a distributed power allocation scheme for mobile ad hoc networks in Rayleigh fast fading environments is proposed. With fluctuated SINR, outage probability is introduced...

Optimal Topology Discovery for Automatic Meter Reading Using (2008)

Powerline Carrier, Dr. Gerard Rowe, Dan Xu, Mingsheng Tang

Due to the major advantage of having an existing cable infrastructure that connects to almost every building, applications using the powerline communication technology are continuously being...

MULTIRESOLUTION VIEW MORPHING IN THE WAVELET DOMAIN (2008)

Paul Bao, Dan Xu

This paper presents a new view-synthesis technique using the 2D discrete wavelet-based view morphing. The view morphing is completely based on pairwise images without the camera calibration and depth...

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING 1 On the Number of Rectangular Tilings (2008)

Dan Xu, Student Member, Minh N. Do

Abstract — Adaptive multiscale representations via quadtree splitting and 2D wavelet packets, which amount to space and frequency decompositions, respectively, are powerful concepts that have been...

What Explains Performance Persistence of Corporate Bond Mutual Funds? [electronic resource] (2005)

Xu, Dan.

This paper examines the performance of corporate bond mutual funds during the period from 1990 to 2003. We find strong evidence of persistence in risk-adjusted performance. The reason behind the...

What Explains Performance Persistence of Corporate Bond Mutual Funds? (2005)

Xu, Dan.

Dissertation (DMgt)--University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, 2005.

Access link capacity monitoring with tfrc probe (2004)

Ling-jyh Chen, Tony Sun, Dan Xu, M. Y. Sanadidi, Mario Gerla

Abstract-- Accurate estimation of network characteristics based on end to end measurements is an important and challenging problem. With the increasing variety and sophistication of Internet access...

Drosophila neuropeptide F and its receptor, NPFR1, define a signaling pathway that acutely modulates alcohol sensitivity

Wen, Tieqiao, Parrish, Clayton A., Xu, Dan, Wu, Qi, Shen, Ping

Alcohol is likely to affect neurons nonselectively, and the understanding of its action in the CNS requires elucidation of underlying neuronal circuits and associated cellular processes. We have...

Wen, Tieqiao, Parrish, Clayton A., Xu, Dan, Wu, Qi, Shen, Ping

Alcohol is likely to affect neurons nonselectively, and the understanding of its action in the CNS requires elucidation of underlying neuronal circuits and associated cellular processes. We have...

Limited Role for CD4+ T-Cell Help in the Initial Priming of Trypanosoma cruzi-Specific CD8+ T Cells▿

Padilla, Angel, Xu, Dan, Martin, Diana, Tarleton, Rick

Immune control of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi requires the activation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. We recently identified two T. cruzi trans-sialidase peptides that are targets of...

Genome-wide analysis reveals Sall4 to be a major regulator of pluripotency in murine-embryonic stem cells

Yang, Jianchang, Chai, Li, Fowles, Taylor C., Alipio, Zaida, Xu, Dan, Fink, Louis M., ...

Embryonic stem cells have potential utility in regenerative medicine because of their pluripotent characteristics. Sall4, a zinc-finger transcription factor, is expressed very early in embryonic...

Control of gallbladder contractions by cholecystokinin through cholecystokinin-A receptors on gallbladder interstitial cells of cajal

Xu, Dan, Yu, Bao-Ping, Luo, He-Sheng, Chen, Ling-Dan

AIM: To identify the cholecystokinin (CCK)-A receptors (CCK-AR) on the guniea pig gallbladder interstitial cells of cajal (ICC) and to study CCK-8 induced gallbladder muscle strip contractions...

Phenotypic correction of murine hemophilia A using an iPS cell-based therapy

Xu, Dan, Alipio, Zaida, Fink, Louis M., Adcock, Dorothy M., Yang, Jianchang, Ward, David C., ...

Hemophilia A is caused by mutations within the Factor VIII (FVIII) gene that lead to depleted protein production and inefficient blood clotting. Several attempts at gene therapy have failed for...

SALL4 is a key regulator of survival and apoptosis in human leukemic cells

Yang, Jianchang, Chai, Li, Gao, Chong, Fowles, Taylor C., Alipio, Zaida, Dang, Hien, ...

Increasing studies suggest that SALL4 may play vital roles in leukemogenesis and stem cell phenotypes. We have mapped the global gene targets of SALL4 using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by...
