Maternal mutations of FOXF1 cause alveolar capillary dysplasia despite not being imprinted human mutation
(Human Mutation, 2017)Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACDMPV) is a rare cause of pulmonary hypertension in newborns. Maternally inherited point mutations in Forkhead Box F1 gene (FOXF1), ... -
Matriptase-2 mutations in iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia patients provide new insights into protease activation mechanisms
(Human Molecular Genetics, 2009)Mutations leading to abrogation of matriptase-2 proteolytic activity in humans are associated with an iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) due to elevated hepcidin levels. Here we describe two ... -
Meaning in life as a mediator between physical impairment and the wish to hasten death in patients with advanced cancer
(Journal of pain and symptom management, 2017-12)Context. Meaning in life (MiL) is a key factor for ensuring spiritual well-being and quality of life among patients with life threatening illnesses. However, the role of MiL in relation to the wish to ... -
Measuring cigarette dependence: a comparison of two scales in two different groups of smokers
(Tobacco Prevention & Cessation, 2022)Introduction: The Fagerström Test for Cigarette Dependence (FTCD) and the Cigarette Dependence Scale (CDS) are usually used to assess cigarette dependence in clinical- and population-based studies. Our ... -
Mechanical and microstructural characterization of new nickel-free low modulus beta-type titanium wires during thermomechanical treatments
(Materials Science and Engineering: A, 2015-06-11)NiTi alloy is the only practical shape memory alloy (SMA) in biomedical use because of its excellent mechanical stability and functionality. However, it is estimated that between 4.5% and 28.5% of the ... -
Mechanical and physicochemical characterization along with biological interactions of a new Ti25Nb21Hf alloy for bone tissue engineering
(Journal of Biomaterials Applications, 2015-03-23)Nowadays, one of the main challenges in metal implants for bone substitution is the achievement of an elastic modulus close to that of human cortical bone as well as to provide an adequate interaction ... -
Mechanisms of CPT1C-Dependent AMPAR trafficking enhancement
(Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018-08-08)In neurons, AMPA receptor (AMPAR) function depends essentially on their constituent components: the ion channel forming subunits and ion channel associated proteins. On the other hand, AMPAR trafficking ... -
Mechanisms of ventilatory limitation to maximum exercise in children and adolescents with chronic airway diseases
(Pediatric Pulmonology, 2023)Introduction: Exercise intolerance is common in chronic airway diseases (CAD), but its mechanisms are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate exercise capacity and its association ... -
Mental well-being of the general population: direct and indirect effects of socioeconomic, relational and health factors
(Quality of Life Research, 2021)Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse the association between individual mental well-being and social, economic, lifestyle and health factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study on a representative ... -
Methylprednisolone pulses plus tacrolimus in addition to standard of care vs. standard of care alone in patients with severe COVID-19. A randomized controlled trial
(Frontiers in Medicine, 2021)Introduction: Severe lung injury is triggered by both the SARS-CoV-2 infection and the subsequent host-immune response in some COVID-19 patients. Methods: We conducted a randomized, single-center, ... -
Mevalonate pathway activity as a determinant of radiation sensitivity in head and neck cancer
(Molecular Oncology, 2019-06-21)Radioresistance is a major hurdle in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we report that concomitant treatment of HNSCCs with radiotherapy and mevalonate pathway inhibitors ... -

Mimicking bone extracellular matrix: integrin-binding peptidomimetics enhance osteoblast-like cells adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation on titanium
(Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2015-04-01)Interaction between the surface of implants and biological tissues is a key aspect of biomaterials research. Apart from fulfilling the non-toxicity and structural requirements, synthetic materials are ... -
Mineralization of titanium surfaces: biomimetic implants
(Materials, 2021)The surface modification by the formation of apatitic compounds, such as hydroxyapatite, improves biological fixation implants at an early stage after implantation. The structure, which is identical to ... -
Missense SLC25A38 variations play an important role in autosomal recessive inherited sideroblastic anemia
(Haematologica, 2011)Congenital sideroblastic anemias are rare disorders with several genetic causes; they are characterized by erythroblast mitochondrial iron overload, differ greatly in severity and some occur within a ... -
MMPs/TIMPs and inflammatory signalling de‐regulation in human incisional hernia tissues
(Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2009-03-04)Incisional hernia is a common and important complication of laparotomies. Epidemiological studies allude to an underlying biological cause, at least in a subset of population. Interest has mainly focused ... -
Mobility Difficulties, Physical Activity, and All-cause Mortality Risk in a Nationally representative Sample of Older Adults
(The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2018)This study sought to determine the association between levels of physical activity and mobility difficulties and time to death while accounting for the effect of several confounders. We also examined ... -
