Diagnostic Imaging in COPD [PDF]
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2010 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a pathological pulmonary condition characterized by expiratory airflow obstruction due to emphysematous destruction of the lung parenchyma and small airways remodeling. Although spirometry is a very useful diagnostic tool for screening large groups of smokers, it cannot readily differentiate the ...

Ion channel function of polycystin‐2/polycystin‐1 heteromer revealed by structure‐guided mutagenesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mutations in polycystin‐1 (PC1) or polycystin‐2 (PC2) cause autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We generated a novel gain‐of‐function PC2/PC1 heteromeric ion channel by mutating pore‐blocking residues. Moreover, we demonstrated that PC2 will preferentially assemble with PC1 to form heteromeric complexes when PC1 is co‐expressed ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance New noninvasive and accurate diagnostic tests of cancer are important. Here we describe such a test, which is applied to the detection of bladder cancer, one of the most common cancers and cause of cancer-related deaths. This method can also

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Diagnostic imaging in pregnancy: Making informed decisions
Obstetric Medicine, 2019 The use of diagnostic imaging involving ionising radiation may be necessary in pregnancy and requires an assessment of the most appropriate and safest imaging modality which will provide the necessary information balanced with the potential risks to the ...

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.
