    Mathew, C.; Matondo, R. B.; Malago, J. J.; Maselle, R. M.; Mwamengele, G. L. (Tanzania Veterinary Association, 2010)
    A total of 25 commercial layer carcases from seven poultry farms in Morogoro municipality were examined for gross and histopathological changes. Grossly, splenomegally, renomegally and hepatomegally were striking features. ...
  • Deletion of the serotonin transporter in rats disturbs serotonin homeostasis without impairing liver regeneration 
    Matondo, RB; Punt, C; Homberg, J; Toussaint, MJM; Kisjes, R; Korporaal, SJA; Akkerman, JWN; Cuppen, E; de Bruin, A (American Physiological Society, 2009-04-01)
    The serotonin transporter is implicated in the uptake of the vasoconstrictor serotonin from the circulation into the platelets, where 95% of all blood serotonin is stored and released in response to vascular injury. In ...
  • Pathogenic Escherichia fergusonii and Staphylococcus gallinarum co-infection in a free-ranging domestic chicken 
    Misinzo, G; Mathew, C; Matondo, RB; Jumapili, F; Ludosha, M; Masola, S; Munisi, W; Viaene, W; Doorsselaere, J. (ROAVS, 2012)
    Examination was carried out in an emaciated and depressed free-range domestic chicken from Mpwapwa where multiple cases of a similar condition were observed in 2010. A loosely attached unilateral nodule on the ventral ...
  • Atypical E2f functions are critical for pancreas polyploidization 
    Matondo, RB; Moreno, E; Toussaint, MJM; Tooten, PCJ; van Essen, SC; van Liere, EA; Youssef, SA; Bongiovanni, L; de Bruin, A (PLOS ONE, 2018-01-12)
    The presence of polyploid cells in the endocrine and exocrine pancreas has been reported for four decades. In rodents, pancreatic polyploidization is initiated after weaning and the number of polyploid cells increases with ...
  • Surgical resection and radiofrequency ablation initiate cancer in cytokeratin-19+-liver cells deficient for p53 and Rb 
    Matondo, R. B.; Toussaint, M. J. M.; Govaert, K.M.; Vuuren, L. D.; Nantasanti, S.; Nijkamp, M. W.; Pandit, S. K.; Tooten, P. C. J.; Koster, M. H.; Holleman, K.; Schot, A.; Gu, G.; Spee, B.; Roskams, T.; Borel, R. I.; Schotanus, B.; Kranenburg, O.; de Bruin, A. (2016-08-23)

  • E2f8 mediates tumor suppression in postnatal liver development 
    Machiraju, Raghu; Kent, L. N.; Rakijas, J. B.; Pandit, S. K.; Westendorp, B.; Chen, H.; Huntington, J. T.; Tang, X.; Bae, S.; Srivastava, A.; Senapati, S.; Koivisto, C.; Martin, C. K.; Cuitino, M. C.; Perez, M.; Matondo, R. B. (The American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2016-08-01)
    E2F-mediated transcriptional repression of cell cycle–dependent gene expression is critical for the control of cellular proliferation, survival, and development. E2F signaling also interacts with transcriptional programs ...
  • Large induction of type III deiodinase expression after partial hepatectomy in the regenerating mouse and rat liver 
    Kester, M. H. A.; Matondo, R. B.; Toussaint, M. J. M.; Punt, C. A.; Aarnio, A. M.; Darras, V. M.; Everts, M. E.; Bruin, A.; Visser, T. J. (Oxford University Press, 2008-09-11)
    The deiodinase types 1 (D1) and 2 (D2) catalyze the activation of T4 to T3, whereas type 3 deiodinase (D3) catalyzes the inactivation of T3 and T4. D3 plays a key role in ontrolling thyroid hormone bioavailability. It is ...
