His proposed projects are a collaboration with Dr P Mary Cotes, to investigate prostaglandins, cyclic AMP and kidney production of eryhropoietin, and a collaboration with Ernie Huehns, to investigate the effects of prostaglandins on etythroid colony formation in mouse and human bone marrow cultures. The correspondence also includes a letter relating to Dr Cotes' work on the infusion of prostacyclins, and erythropoietin (September 1984). |
