GENERATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HUMAN INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS (IPSCS) FROM THREE PATIENTS WITH AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION CARRYING RARE VARIANTS IN THE CFH GENE

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of vision loss among the elderly in the Western berness white sneakers world.AMD is multifactorial eye disease with a strong genetic contribution.Here, we report the generation and characterization of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of thr

A number of experiments were done to further our understanding of the substrate utilization in button mushroom crops (Agaricus bisporus).An analysis of the degradation of dry matter of the substrate during a crop cycle revealed that for pin formation the upper 1/3rd layer is used, for the production of flush one all layers are involved and for flus

A 4 month-old, 14.8 kg, male Newfoundland dog was presented for cardiovascular evaluation following detection of a heart murmur.Echocardiography revealed enlargement of the sinuses of Valsalva and marked, diffuse dilation of the ascending aorta (annuloaortic ectasia, AAE), with mild/equivocal subaortic stenosis (SAS).The dog was monitored over the

Cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma are the prototypic complications of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in the liver.However, hepatitis C virus also affects a variety of other organs that may lead to significant morbidity and mortality.Extrahepatic manifestations of hepatitis C infection include a multitude of disease processes affecting the

This work studies the impact of the electrostatic interaction between analyte molecules and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the intensity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).For this, we fabricated nanostructured plasmonic films by immobilization of Ag NPs on glass plates and functionalized them by a set of differently charged hydrophilic
