Double site neural tube defects: report of two cases

Egyptian Journal of Neurosurgery
Introduction Multiple-site neural tube defect is a congenital defect at two or more locations along the neural axis. Double-site neural defects are very rare, having a normal segment between two neural tube defects, and are different from complex spinal ...

Molecular and morphogenetic features of neurulation

Zaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal
Neurulation occurs by two different mechanisms, called primary and secondary neurulation. In humans, primary neurulation occurs along most of the rostrocaudal axis of the embryo, while secondary neurulation occurs caudally, only in the lower sacral and ...

Maternal nutritional status, C1 metabolism and offspring DNA methylation: a review of current evidence in human subjects. [PDF]

, 2011
: Evidence is growing for the long-term effects of environmental factors during early-life on later disease susceptibility. It is believed that epigenetic mechanisms (changes in gene function not mediated by DNA sequence alteration), particularly DNA ...

Atomic Layer Deposition in Transistors and Monolithic 3D Integration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transistors are fundamental building blocks of modern electronics. This review summarizes recent progress in atomic layer deposition (ALD) for the synthesis of two‐dimensional (2D) metal oxides and transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), with particular emphasis on their enabling role in monolithic three‐dimensional (M3D) integration for next ...

Kinetic Regimes of Hydrogen Absorption in Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Knowledge of the hydrogen incorporation mechanisms in thin layers in relation to the amount absorbed is essential to design coatings and devices compatible with hydrogen‐based technologies. A combination of simultaneous in situ methods gives detailed insight into the hydrogenation of a prototypical hydrogen absorber layer in a time‐dependent manner ...
