Sodium Cyanide Increases Cytosolic-Free Calcium; Evidence for Activation of the Reversed Mode of the Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger and Ca2+ Mobilization from Inositol Trisphosphate-Insensitive Pools (2006)

Kiang, Julian G., Smallridge, Robert C.

Cyanide has been shown to affect calcium homeostasis. Cyanide causes an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration in PC12 cells, rabbit carotid body chemoreceptors, rat ventricular myocytes, rat...

Thyroid Iodine Content and Serum Thyroglobulin. Cues to the Natural History of Destruction-Induced Thyroiditis, (1998)

Smallridge,Robert C., De Keyser,F. M., Van Herle,Andre J., Butkus,Nancy E., Wartofsky,Leonard

Twenty-eight patients with destructive thyroiditis were followed to study the natural history of healing of thyroid gland injury. All had sequential measurements of thyroidal iodine 127I content by...

Release of Multiple Hormones by a Direct Action of Interleukin-1 on Pituitary Cells, (1998)

Bernton, Edward W., Beach, Judith E., Holaday, John W., Smallridge, Robert C., Fein, Henry G.

Exposure to bacterial endotoxins has long been known to stimulate the release of anterior pituitary hormones; administration of endotoxin was at one time a common clinical test of anterior pituitary...

Altered Thyroid Axis Function in Lewis Rats with Genetically Defective Hypothalamic CRH/VP Neurosecretory Cells. (1997)

Whitnall, Mark H., Smallridge, Robert C.

Lewis rats display a hyporesponsive hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis, overproduction of cytokines, and susceptibility to inflammatory disease. The Lewis corticotropin-releasing hormone...

Deoxyribonucleic Acid Profiling Analysis of 40 Human Thyroid Cancer Cell Lines Reveals Cross-Contamination Resulting in Cell Line Redundancy and Misidentification

Schweppe, Rebecca E., Klopper, Joshua P., Korch, Christopher, Pugazhenthi, Umarani, Benezra, Miriam, Knauf, Jeffrey A., ...

Context: Cell lines derived from human cancers provide critical tools to study disease mechanisms and develop novel therapies. Recent reports indicate that up to 36% of cell lines are cross-...
