Idiopathic pulmonary ossification [PDF]
Herein, we report a 50-year-old smoker with chronic cough and no other pre-existing conditions in his medical history. Lung function tests and laboratory findings were normal. The computed tomography showed a bilateral reticulonodular pattern with calcifications (Fig. 1). We performed a thoracoscopic biopsy.

Inhibition of overactive TGF-β attenuates progression of heterotopic ossification in mice
Acquired heterotopic ossification (HO) is a painful and debilitating disease characterized by extraskeletal bone formation after injury. The exact pathogenesis of HO remains unknown. Here we show that TGF-β initiates and promotes HO in mice. We find that

On the development of the chondrocranium and the histological anatomy of the head in perinatal stages of marsupial mammals [PDF]
An overview of the literature on the chondrocranium of marsupial mammals reveals a relative conservatism in shape and structures. We document the histological cranial anatomy of individuals representing Monodelphis domestica, Dromiciops gliroides ...
