Female FVB/N HER-2/neu transgenic mice from the age of 2 months were subcutaneously injected with saline, the peptide Epitalon(R) (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) or with the peptide Vilon(R) (Lys-Glu) in a single dose of 1 microg/mouse for 5 consecutive days every month. Epitalon treatment reduced the cumulative
## Abstract Despite the general capacity of peripheral nervous system to regenerate, peripheral nerve injury is often followed by incomplete recovery of function, sometimes with the burden of neuropathic pain. The mechanisms of both regeneration and nociception have not been clarified, but it is kn
## Abstract To assess the requirements for papilloma formation in transgenic mice that over express transforming growth facto‐α (TGF‐α) in the epidermis (HK1.TGFα), we tested the sensitivity of HK1 TGFα mice to tumor promotion with 12‐__O__‐tetradecanoylphorbol‐13‐acetate (TPA) and analyzed the res
