The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Analyzing isolated degeneration of lumbar facet joints: implications for degenerative instability and lumbar biomechanics using finite element analysis

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The facet joint contributes to lumbar spine stability as it supports the weight of body along with the intervertebral discs. However, most studies on the causes of degenerative lumbar diseases focus on the intervertebral discs and often overlook the ...

Comparison of Adjacent Segment Motion after Anterior Cervical Fusion Using Standalone Cage versus Total Disc Replacement Using Activ C

Global Spine Journal, 2015
Introduction Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been a widely accepted procedure for treatment of cervical disc diseases. However, several reports about postfusion exacerbation of adjacent segments gave rise to development of motion ...

Adjacent Segment Degeneration and Adjacent Segment Disease: Implications following Spinal Fusion Surgery

SVOA Neurology
Spinal fusion is a common and effective option for patients with symptomatic degenerative disc disorders. However, concerns have raised over the probability of adjacent segment degeneration (ASDe) and adjacent segment disease (ASDi) following spinal instrumentation.

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

Biomechanical role of osteoporosis affects the incidence of adjacent segment disease after percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2019
Study design Variation in the biomechanical characteristics of intervertebral discs adjacent to the segment disc after undergoing percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) in models with normal and abnormal bone mineral density (BMD) was ...

Adjacent Segment Degeneration and Adjacent Segment Disease in Patients with Cervical Arthroplasty with 5 Years Follow-Up

Global Spine Journal, 2016
Introduction Among the practical advantages of the cervical arthroplasty, the preservation of the movement could reduce the presentation of cases of adjacent segment disease and adjacent segment degeneration compared with anterior cervical fusion.

Adjacent Segment Disease Developing Dependence on Preoperative Adjacent Disc Degenerative Changes [PDF]

Global Spine Journal, 2014
Introduction The causes of adjacent segment disease (ASD) after lumbar spinal fusion are controversial today. Although the role of initial degenerative changes in the adjacent discs is not fully studied many authors have noted the special importance of them. Object To determine the importance of the preoperative
