Spatial mapping of ectonucleotidase gene expression in the murine urinary bladder

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Purinergic signaling is important for normal bladder function, as it is thought to initiate the voiding reflex and modulate smooth muscle tone. The availability of adenine nucleotides and nucleosides (aka purines) at receptor sites of various cell types ...

A Geometric Variational Approach to Bayesian Inference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We propose a novel Riemannian geometric framework for variational inference in Bayesian models based on the nonparametric Fisher-Rao metric on the manifold of probability density functions.

7154 Adult Hypophosphatasia With Heterozygous Missense Mutations In ALPL Gene [PDF]

open access: yesJ Endocr Soc
Abstract Disclosure: A.S. Chaugule: None. Y. Cervelo: None. S. Dhillon: None. D. Tuncay: None. We present a case of a male in his third decade of life discovered to be a carrier of the genetic mutation associated with hypophosphatasia during routine pre-conception genetic screening. Genetic analysis revealed a heterozygous

Involvement Of Vascular Aldosterone Synthase In Phosphate-Induced Osteogenic Transformation Of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Vascular calcification resulting from hyperphosphatemia is a major determinant of mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vascular calcification is driven by aldosterone-sensitive osteogenic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Generation and characterization of two immortalized human osteoblastic cell lines useful for epigenetic studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Different model systems using osteoblastic cell lines have been developed to help understand the process of bone formation. Here, we report the establishment of two human osteoblastic cell lines obtained from primary cultures upon transduction of ...

Perturbation of specific pro-mineralizing signalling pathways in human and murine pseudoxanthoma elasticum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is characterized by skin (papular lesions), ocular (subretinal neovascularisation) and cardiovascular manifestations (peripheral artery disease), due to mineralization and fragmentation of elastic fibres in the ...

Genome-wide association study on serum alkaline phosphatase levels in a Chinese population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a complex phenotype influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Recent Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified several loci affecting ALP levels; however, such studies in Chinese ...
