At that time three such hospitals were in existence in London: one in Islington was for those convalescing from the disease, one in Shoreditch was for those who had smallpox although they had been inoculated, and so had a milder form of the disease, while that in Clerkenwell was for the...

The gene producing the PrP protein is called PRNP, and the two forms are PrPc (normal protein; the c = cellular) and PrPSc (abnormal protein; the Sc = scrapie). In the UK, BSE resulted from the feeding of contaminated food to cattle. A similar disease is found in sheep and goats ...
Mitochondria are organelles responsible for multiple functions in the cells, which consist of two membranes—outer and inner. The inner mitochondrial membrane, containing anchored complexes of the ETC, is the main structure for the mitochondrial respiration and maintenance of the mitochondrial transmembrane...
102 Median age at presentation is in the 40s in PLWHA and in the 60s in HIV− patients. Median CD4+ T-cell count at presentation in HIV+ patients ranges from 150 to 200 cells per μL. Multivariate analysis demonstrates that CD4+ T cells >200/μL, no ART exposure, and age >33 ...
The idea to treat genetic disorders on the genome level as an alternative to the classical pharmacotherapy has been prospering for decades [36]. Actually, it began in the 60s of the previous century, just after several discoveries showed that foreign DNA could be inserted and expressed into mam...
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) belong to a diverse group of communicable diseases caused by pathogens including helminthes, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses. The NTDs prevail in tropical and subtropical conditions in 149 countries and affect billions
Conclusions The diagnostic performance of TaqMAMA RT-PCR was acceptable for the detection of the most prevalent SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest. This method offers a cost and time-saving alternative for the genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in high-volume settings.Peer...
These genetic modifications contribute to progressive ageing phenotypes and are directly involved in cancer development. However, a growing number of studies of Mendelian haematopoietic disorders indicate that somatic genetic events can offset the pathogenic effect of germline mutations at the cellular level...
Chilblains, also known as perniosis, have intrigued, and perplexed the medical community for centuries. Dermatologists in Europe noted a significant rise in chilblains at the beginning of 2020, with most cases reported from England, France, and northern Europe. However, current data also indicat...
