The word "plakoglobin" in example sentences

Several years ago, he and his colleagues discovered that a desmosomal protein known as plakoglobin was dramatically diminished in tissue samples of ARVC. ❋ Unknown (2009)

"An immunohistochemical test [based on plakoglobin levels] could, in the future, provide clinicians with an important new diagnostic tool," he adds. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Beth Israel researchers showed that one desmosomal protein-plakoglobin-turned up in lower quantities in the tissues of ARCV patients. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The authors acknowledge their study's important limitations-for example, its limited size, need for validation, predominant use of tissue with advanced disease, and questions about whether plakoglobin is similarly reduced in all forms of ARVC. ❋ Unknown (2009)

All ARVC tissue samples showed sharply lower immunoreactivity for plakoglobin, a protein constituent of the cell-surface desmosome structures central to myocyte adhesion, compared with the control samples. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In this new study, the authors set out to determine if this reduced plakoglobin signal could serve as a biomarker for ARVC early in the course of the disease.

"There was no question that the plakoglobin signal level was reduced diffusely in the ARVC samples." ❋ Unknown (2009)
