Distinct structural transitions of chromatin topological domains correlate with coordinated hormone-induced gene regulation
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2014)
The human genome is segmented into topologically associating domains (TADs), but the role of this conserved organization during transient changes in gene expression is not known. Here we describe the ...
The role of perceived dignity and control in the wish to hasten death among advanced cancer patients: A mediation model
(Wiley, 2018-09-24)
Objective: To test a model in which perceived loss of dignity and control are proposed, along with symptoms of depression and functional impairment, as risk factors for the wish to hasten death (WTHD) ...
Differential HMG‐CoA lyase expression in human tissues provides clues about 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaric aciduria
(Wiley, 2010)
3‐Hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaric aciduria is a rare human autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl CoA lyase (HL). This mitochondrial enzyme catalyzes the common final ...
Growth rate as a direct regulator of the start network to set cell size
(Frontiers Media, 2017-05-26)
Cells are able to adjust their growth and size to external inputs to comply with specific
fates and developmental programs. Molecular pathways controlling growth also have
an enormous impact in cell ...
Visual outcome and complications of cataract extraction after pars plana vitrectomy
(Dove Press, 2018)
Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcomes and complications of phacoemulsification in previously vitrectomized eyes. Patients and methods: A retrospective analysis of 87 consecutive vitrectomized eyes ...
A barbed suture repair for flexor tendons: a novel technique with no exposed barbs
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2014-10-23)
Background: Barbed suture technology has shown promise in flexor tendon
repairs, as there is an even distribution of load and the need for a knot
is eliminated. We propose that a quick and simple, ...
Two opposing faces of retinoic acid: induction of stemness or induction of differentiation depending on cell-type
(MDPI, 2019)
Stem cells have the capacity of self-renewal and, through proliferation and differentiation, are responsible for the embryonic development, postnatal development, and the regeneration of tissues in the ...
Inspiratory muscle training in pediatrics: main indications and technical characteristics of the protocols
(Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUCPR), 2017)
Introduction: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is a resource widely used in pediatrics.
However, there is great variability in relation to the characteristics of the protocols used.
Objective: To ...
The effects of alcohol and drugs of abuse on maternal nutritional profile during pregnancy
(MDPI, 2018)
The consumption of alcohol and drugs of abuse among pregnant women has experienced a significant increase in the last decades. Suitable maternal nutritional status is crucial to maintain the optimal ...
Polymeric additives to enhance the functional properties of calcium phosphate cements
(Journal of Tissue Enineering, 2012-03-20)
The vast majority of materials used in bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are based on calcium phosphates due to their similarity with the mineral phase of natural bone. Among them, calcium ...
