Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention provides a system wherein light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (162) can be tuned within a given range by selecting their operating drive current in order to obtain a precise wavelength. The present invention further provides a manner in which to calibrate and utilize an LED probe (150), such that the shift in wavelength for a known change in drive current is a known quantity. In general, the principle of wavelength shift for current drive changes for LEDs is utilized in order to allow better calibration and added flexibility in the use of LED sensors, particularly in applications when the precise wavelength is needed in order to obtain accurate measurements. The present invention also provides a system in which it is not necessary to know precise wavelengths of LEDs where precise wavelengths were needed in the past. Finally, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the operating wavelength of a light-emitting element such a light-emitting diode. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The mechanism of hypertension following acute NO synthase blockade is via endothelin-mediated vasoconstriction. Thus, NO appears to inhibit endothelin activity by blocking its expression and not as a chronic direct acting vasodilator. Administration of an endothelin antagonist to a patient in a "normal' physiological state may result in specific regional vasodilation. This treatment finds utility in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Abstract: Two novel proteins have been designated "cerberus" and "frzb-1," respectively. Cerberus is expressed as a secreted peptide during embryogenesis of the Xenopus embryo, and is expressed specifically in the head organizer region. This new molecule has endodermal, cardiac, and neural tissue inducing activity, that should prove useful in therapeutic, diagnostic, and clinical applications requiring regeneration, differentiation, or repair of these and other tissues. Frzb-1 is a soluble antagonist of growth factors of the Wnt family that acts by binding to Wnt growth factors in the extracellular space. A third novel protein is designated "PAPC" which promotes the formation of dorsal mesoderm and somites in the embryo.

Abstract: A MORT1 gene initially cloned from HeLa cells and identified as a member of the receptor mediated apoptotic pathway, is expressed in the human neuronal cell line, NTERA2. Isolation of the MORT1 from this cell line revealed a transcript isoform that differed from the known MORT1 sequence by a deletion of 21 base pairs (bp 172-192 of the coding sequence). Cloning of MORT1 from adult human brain revealed two isoforms, one similarly deleted for bp 172-192, the other with a basepair substitution, A for G at position 173. Assessment of MORT1 function in a yeast two hybrid system indicates that the deleted and intact forms of MORT1 differ in their capacity to interact with other members of the apoptotic pathway.
