PLoS ONE, 2012 Repetitive DNA sequences with the potential to form alternative DNA conformations, such as slipped structures and cruciforms, can induce genetic instability by promoting replication errors and by serving as a substrate for DNA repair proteins, which may ...

Critical body mass index associated with increased ventral hernia recurrence rate
International Journal of Abdominal Wall and Hernia Surgery, 2023 BACKGROUND: Body mass index (BMI) is a settled risk factor for ventral hernia repair complications. There is no agreement for a specific perfect BMI maximum value for elective hernia surgical repair. The goal of this study is to determine a BMI threshold

Wound healing and inflammation: embryos reveal the way to perfect repair [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004 Tissue repair in embryos is rapid, efficient and perfect and does not leave a scar, an ability that is lost as development proceeds. Wheras adult wound keratinocytes crawl forwards over the exposed substratum to close the gap, a wound in the embryonic epidermis is closed by contraction of a rapidly assembled actin purse string.

On Secure Distributed Data Storage Under Repair Dynamics [PDF]
, 2010 We address the problem of securing distributed storage systems against passive eavesdroppers that can observe a limited number of storage nodes. An important aspect of these systems is node failures over time, which demand a repair mechanism aimed at ...
