The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name from glomeruli -- the parts of your kidney that filter out waste. (Photo credit: Image Source...

DNA in vivo is often sharply distorted away from the canonical Watson–Crick structure; different DNA sequences vary greatly in the ease with which such sharp distortions can be accommodated. Most of the eukaryotic genomic DNA is bent around histones to form nucleosomes. The capacity of the DNA...
Acute cardiac injury.Your body releases high levels of a protein called troponin. This normally happens when your heart is damaged. Shock.When your heart can't pump enough blood for your body Trouble With Blood Vessels COVID-19 seems to be able to attack cells that line your blood vessels....
Today’s trials are much more likely to focus on patients who have been selected to have the greatest odds of responding to the new therapy. That may seem obvious now, but it’s important to appreciate what a big change that is from the early 2000s, when the EGFR inhibitor Tarceva got...
On the basis of these data, a comparison of their efficacy on the different mutated EGFRs and the respective resistance mechanisms is further reported. Moreover, the evolution and results of the clinical trials of rociletinib (TIGER trials) are compared with the trials on osimertinib, another ...
post-translational methylation of specific histidine residues in actin and myosin with clinical relevance as a predictor of myofibrillar proteolysis [54], while 3-MH-to-creatinine (3-MH/Crea) and 3-MH-to-estimated glomerular filtration rate (3-MH/eGFR) can support the diagnos...
At the same time, the thrombin-induced proteolytic activation of PAR1 promotes cell invasion by inducing the persistent transactivation of EGFR and ErbB2/HER2 and, as a result, a prolonged ERK1/2 signaling that initiates tumorigenesis and is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory breast ...
This result is consistent with the results of next-generation sequencing, which have confirmed that VEGF acts as a downstream gene in PR signaling [139]. Later studies confirmed that P4 or synthetic progestins activate angiogenic pathways associated with VEGF, and this effect is preferentially ...
