Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) has been implicated in producing some of the cytoplasmic changes seen in apoptosis in vituu. The aim of this study was to investigate tTg protein and mRNA expression in three different epithelia induced experimentally in viva to undergo apoptosis. They were castration-i

## Abstract Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) is activated during the apoptotic cell death cascade and plays a key role in the formation of apoptotic bodies. We found significant elevation of tTG concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 54 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared with t
Combining in situ tailing and immunocytochemical staining, we demonstrated that the infiltrating macrophages in muscle tissue sections during early phase of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) in Lewis rats were eliminated by apoptosis at high frequency. These apoptotic macrophages were
Mesangial matrix is a dynamic structure which modulates mesangial cell function. Since accumulation of matrix precedes the development of focal glomerulosclerosis, we studied the effect of different matrices on mesangial cell (MC) apoptosis. Suspended mesangial cells became apoptotic in a time depen
