The influence of scoring method on variability in results obtained with the comet assay

A Azqueta, S Meier, C Priestley, KB Gutzkow… - …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
As part of a project to develop high throughput versions of the comet assay (single cell gel
electrophoresis), with a consequent need for more efficient scoring, we have compared the …

High-throughput comet assay using 96 minigels

KB Gutzkow, TM Langleite, S Meier, A Graupner… - …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
The single-cell gel electrophoresis—the comet assay—has proved to be a sensitive and
relatively simple method that is much used in research for the analysis of specific types of DNA …

Twelve-gel slide format optimised for comet assay and fluorescent in situ hybridisation

S Shaposhnikov, A Azqueta, S Henriksson, S Meier… - Toxicology letters, 2010 - Elsevier
The comet assay is widely used to measure DNA damage and repair in basic research,
genotoxicity testing and human biomonitoring. The conventional format has 1 or 2 gels on a …

A comparative performance test of standard, medium-and high-throughput comet assays

A Azqueta, KB Gutzkow, CC Priestley, S Meier… - Toxicology in vitro, 2013 - Elsevier
A serious limitation of the conventional comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis) is the
restriction on the number of samples that can be processed in one experiment, imposed by …

PDE3 inhibition by C-type natriuretic peptide-induced cGMP enhances cAMP-mediated signaling in both non-failing and failing hearts

S Meier, KW Andressen, JM Aronsen, I Sjaastad… - European journal of …, 2017 - Elsevier
We have previously shown that the natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B) agonist C-type
natriuretic peptide (CNP) enhances cyclic adenosine 3,5-monophosphate (cAMP)-mediated …

Different compartmentation of responses to brain natriuretic peptide and C-type natriuretic peptide in failing rat ventricle

LR Moltzau, JM Aronsen, S Meier, J Skogestad… - … of Pharmacology and …, 2014 - ASPET
We previously found a negative inotropic (NIR) and positive lusitropic response (LR) to C-type
natriuretic peptide (CNP) in the failing heart ventricle. In this study, we investigated and …

CNP regulates cardiac contractility and increases cGMP near both SERCA and TnI: difference from BNP visualized by targeted cGMP biosensors

…, D Arunthavarajah, NC Surdo, S Meier… - Cardiovascular …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Aims Guanylyl cyclase-B (GC-B; natriuretic peptide receptor-B, NPR-B) stimulation by C-type
natriuretic peptide (CNP) increases cGMP and causes a lusitropic and negative inotropic …

Differential regulation of C-type natriuretic peptide-induced cGMP and functional responses by PDE2 and PDE3 in failing myocardium

LR Moltzau, S Meier, JM Aronsen, F Afzal… - Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's …, 2014 - Springer
Recently, we showed C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP)-induced negative inotropic (NIR) and
positive lusitropic response (LR) in failing rat heart. We wanted to study whether, and if so, …

[HTML][HTML] Enhancement of cAMP-mediated inotropic responses by CNP is regulated differently by PDE2 in normal and failing hearts

S Meier, KW Andressen, JM Aronsen, I Sjaastad… - BMC Pharmacology and …, 2015 - Springer
Background Natriuretic peptide levels are increased in heart failure (HF). Atrial (ANP) and
brain (BNP) natriuretic peptide mediate their effects preferentially through the natriuretic …

Compartmentation of natriuretic peptide signalling in cardiac myocytes: effects on cardiac contractility and hypertrophy

LR Moltzau, S Meier, KW Andressen… - Microdomains in the …, 2017 - Springer
Natriuretic peptides have received considerable attention in the recent years both as
biomarkers for heart failure and as treatment for the disease. Atrial (ANP) and B-type natriuretic …
