Lowering of the diagnostic hemoglobin (Hb)/hematocrit (Hct) threshold values with introduction of mPV that has changed markedly the diagnostic landscape of this MPN subtype and consequently options for treatment and outcome30,33,34,35by revealing that PV has been underdiagnosed in the past34,36. ...
A portion of area 3a has even been found to respond to proprioceptive inputs reflecting eye position (Wang et al., 2007). Overall, it appears that area 2 has become more responsive to touch in anesthetized macaque and cebus monkeys due to independent evolution, while increasing the area 3b ...
as in the recent editorial by Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet. One thing that I criticize medical nutrition for is its inability to be estopped from funding and endlessly re-investigating whether saturated fat causes heart disease, whether high protein diets hurt your kidneys, and whether ...
averagedFROHof 0.52, with a maximum up to 0.70. Asian boars, expect for Thailand and Korean populations, showed lower inbreeding compared to European boars. Relatively small estimates of Ne, especially in commercial breeds and minipigs, contributed to a substantial portion of their genomes ...
In humans, the APP (amyloid precursor protein) gene, when mutated or present in three copies, can cause early-onset AD, which involves the deposition of the central Aβ peptide portion of the APP protein as extracellular plaques in the brain16,17. However, mouse APP does not form the ...
(superior) portion of the nasal cavity, encompassing the superior nasal conche and nasal septum, and the distal (nasal) ends of the cells project cilia into the nasal cavity to ‘sense’ and discriminate between airborne chemicals. However, different single-cell RNA-seq studies indicate ACE2 ...

After the discovery that 20% to 25% of breast cancers show an overexpression of HER2, the human epidermal growth factor receptor, Genentech (South San Francisco, California) developed an antibody-based strategy to target and bind the extracellular portion of the protein (3). Called trastuzumab, ...
