Evidence for a nuclear compartment of transcription and splicing located at chromosome domain boundaries [PDF]
The nuclear topography of splicing snRNPs, mRNA transcripts and chromosome domains in various mammalian cell types are described. The visualization of splicing snRNPs, defined by the Sm antigen, and coiled bodies, revealed distinctly different ...

Balanitis xerotica obliterans is a chronic dermatosis that frequently involves the glans penis and the foreskin. Granular cell tumor is a benign tumor that may rarely involve the penis, but involvement of the foreskin is exceedingly rare.

Comparative global immune-related gene profiling of somatic cells, human pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives: implication for human lymphocyte proliferation. [PDF]
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced PSCs (iPSCs), represent potentially unlimited cell sources for clinical applications. Previous studies have suggested that hPSCs may benefit from immune privilege and

Redundant prepuce increases the odds of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS)
Some published evidence has revealed that the dendritic cells can interact with pathogens that exist in the inner foreskin. This information provides a new vision that pathogens could play a role through the redundant prepuce; numerous studies have ...

Whilst short-term oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with antiretroviral drugs in men who have sex with men has shown protection against HIV-1 infection, the impact of this regimen on the in vivo foreskin transcriptome is unknown. We collected foreskin

Foreskin care in childhood [PDF]
Knowledge of foreskin care is important for both practitioners and parents. Physiologic phimosis (nonretractable foreskin) is normal in childhood. At birth, the inner foreskin is fused to the glans penis; this is termed “physiologic” and rarely requires treatment.

Allogeneic human dermal fibroblasts are viable in peripheral blood mononuclear co-culture [PDF]
Background Transplanted allogeneic dermal fibroblasts retain stem cell subpopulations, and are easily isolated, expanded and stored using standard techniques. Their potential for regenerative therapy of chronic wounds should be evaluated.

Phimosis-paraphimosis, is it necessary to operate in emergency?. [PDF]
The normal foreskin is generally non-retractable due to physiological adhesion between the glans and the inner surface of the foreskin. Phimosis can be primary without signs of scarring, or secondary (pathological) to scarring as balanitis xerotica ...

Activation of MAPK signalling results in resistance to saracatinib (AZD0530) in ovarian cancer [PDF]
SRC tyrosine kinase is frequently overexpressed and activated in late-stage, poor prognosis ovarian tumours, and preclinical studies have supported the use of targeted SRC inhibitors in the treatment of this disease.
