JAK/STAT Signalling in the Induction of the L-Arginine-Nitric Oxide Pathway in Macrophages and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Garr, Edmund Dzigbordi (University of Hertfordshire, 2014-06-09)

The production of Nitric Oxide (NO) under physiological conditions has beneficial roles in acting as a key signaling component of many biological processes as well as having an anti-microbial effect. However its effects ...

The Japanese balance sheet recession 20 years on : Abenomics – solution or corporate financialisation?

Karwowski, Ewa; Shabani, Mimoza (Routledge, 2020-07-16)

We conduct an analysis of Japanese firms’ income sources (a la Krippner, 2005) and their balance sheets, using flow of funds data. Given our results, we argue then that Abenomics has neither led to a sustainable recovery ...
