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 ...

(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 ...
Occupational stress coping strategies utilised by drugs and substance abuse rehabilitation counsellors in the selected counties in Kenya
(2016)
Coping with occupational stress has become an important area for research in the last three decades. Coping strategies
play a critical role in an individual’s physical, behavioural and physiological wellbeing. Coping is ...
Effects of occupational stress among substance abuse rehabilitation centres based on their demographic characteristics in the selected counties in Kenya
(2015)
Occupational stress is a common phenomenon among drugs and substance abuse rehabilitation
counsellors. Though occupational stress has received increased attention, apparently the current
level of attention attributed to ...
