Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) are a major cause of primary aldosteronism (PA) and are characterized by constitutively producing aldosterone, which leads to hypertension. Several mutations have been identified in ...

Background Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) may perturb DNA methylation (DNAm) in early embryonic development. Although a handful of epigenome-wide association studies of ART have been published, none have investigated ...

Allogenic demineralized dentin implanted in the abdominal wall of guinea pigs induced heterotopic osteoid and bone formation. Samples of this tissue were frozen at -140° C, freeze-dried at -80° C, infiltrated with Spurr® ...

The Xenacoelomorpha, with its phylogenetic position as sister group of the Nephrozoa (Protostomia + Deuterostomia), plays a key-role in understanding the evolution of bilaterian cell types and organ systems. Current studies ...

Gingiva has been identified as a minimally invasive source of multipotent progenitor cells (GPCs) for use in bone tissue engineering (BTE). To facilitate clinical translation, it is important to characterize GPCs in xeno-free ...

Background: Microarrays have emerged as the preferred platform for high throughput gene expression analysis. Cross-hybridization among genes with high sequence similarities can be a source of error reducing the reliability ...

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) in children is neglected, mainly due to lack of sensitive diagnostic tools. Recently Xpert MTB/RIF assay has revolutionized the diagnostic field, but its usefulness in pediatric TB has not ...
