In vitro studies have clearly shown that signaling/guidance proteins can diffuse to their targets. However, it is unclear whether they can travel by diffusion in vivo, or if they are distributed in the tissue by an active mechanism. Retinoschisin, a signaling molecule related to neuropilins, is synthesized and secreted by photoreceptor cells in the outer retina; then it interacts with inner retinal cells contributing to synaptic organization and optic nerve fiber integrity.

Doxorubicin (Adriamycin, ADR) is an anthracycline antineoplastic with the serious side effect of dose-related cardiomyopathy. A model of ADR cardiotoxicity was created to examine some subcellular toxic effects of ADR with cultured cardiac myocytes (CMCs) exposed to 1 x 10(-7) to 1 x 10(-5) M ADR for 24 to 48 hr. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was monitored in the CMC medium to monitor CMC damage as a function of ADR concentration.
