Language and performing arts: east African hip hop and public sensitization for political change
(IGI Global, 2011)
One of the many consequences of globalization and the new world order is the increased cross border interaction among people, leading to more transfer and exchange of knowledge, technology, values and virtues, vices and ...
CCL26-targeted siRNA treatment of alveolar type II cells decreases expression of CCR3-binding chemokines and reduces eosinophil migration: implications in asthma therapy
(2009)
The underlying infl ammation present in chronic airway diseases is orchestrated by increased expression of CC
chemokines that selectively recruit leukocyte populations into the pulmonary system. Human CCL26 signals
through ...
Cytokine-stimulated human lung alveolar epithelial cells release eotaxin-2 (CCL24) and eotaxin-3 (CCL26)
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2005)
Asthma is a complex inflammatory disease characterized by a prolonged underlying airway inflammation resulting from cytokine-orchestrated signaling between many types of cells, including airway epithelial cells.
Trafficking, ...
Reorganization of cytoskeleton during surfactant secretion in lung type II cells: a role of annexin II
(Elsevier, 2003)
The secretion of lung surfactant requires the movement of lamellar bodies to the plasma membrane through cytoskeletal barrier at the
cell cortex. We hypothesized that the cortical cytoskeleton undergoes a transient ...
Spatial distribution and consumption patterns of Woodfuel in Sabatia Division, Kenya
(Journal of technology and socio-economic development, 2011)
In the second phase of the Smallholder Dairy Research and Development Project (SDP), as
well as continuing work in central Kenya, attention will be given to Western Kenya where
lessons learnt from the Central and Coast ...
Post-transcriptional silencing of CCR3 downregulates IL-4 stimulated release of eotaxin-3 (CCL26) and other CCR3 ligands in alveolar type II cells
(2008)
Trafficking and inflammation in airway diseases are, in part, modulated by members of the CC chemokine family, eotaxin-1 (CCL11), eotaxin-2 (CCL24), and eotaxin-3 (CCL26), which transduce signals through their CCR3 receptor. ...
Outright brutality or a sign of love? the concept and practice of wife beating among the Kuria of east Africa
(2013)
The Kuria, a poor mainly agricultural community is found in Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa. They inhabit Kuria district in Kenya and Mara province in Tanzania, the majority being in Tanzania. Though they are separated ...
Syntaxin 2 and SNAP-23 are required for regulated surfactant secretion
(2014)
The secretion of lung surfactant in alveolar type II cells is a complex process involving the fusion of lamellar bodies with the plasma membrane. This process is somewhat different from the exocytosis of hormones and ...
Re-orientation of Science and Mathematics teachers instructional strategies for information communication technology integration
(2015)
This article reports on a study which explored teachers re-conceptualization and re-orientation process during their in-service training for ICT-pedagogy integration in teaching and learning. The qualitative research design ...
Modulation of eotaxin-3 (CCL26) in alveolar type II epithelial cells
(2007)
Airway epithelial inflammation associated with emphysema, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma is regulated in part by alveolar type II cell chemokine signaling. Data suggest that ...
