Percutaneous transcatheter closure of a distorted residual patent ductus arteriosus post surgical ligation using retrograde wiring and femoral arterio-venous loop technique- a case report

IHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2018
: Small residual left-to-right shunts following surgical ligation of Patent Ductus Arteriosus [PDA] are not common. Percutaneous transcatheter closure of the PDAs, mostly with coils, is the treatment of choice.

Characterizing the salivary RNA landscape to identify potential diagnostic, prognostic, and follow‐up biomarkers for breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study explores salivary RNA for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, prognosis, and follow‐up. High‐throughput RNA sequencing identified distinct salivary RNA signatures, including novel transcripts, that differentiate BC from healthy controls, characterize histological and molecular subtypes, and indicate lymph node involvement.

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...
