Molecular insights into electroreceptor ribbon synapses from differential gene expression in sturgeon lateral line organs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The expression of various genes involved in synapse development, stability and/or function was studied in developing mechanosensory neuromasts and electrosensory ampullary organs in sterlet sturgeon. Most were shared, including Slc17a8, Slc1a3 and Nrxn3, but Cbln18 was neuromast‐restricted and Tulp1 was ampullary organ‐restricted.

Neural modulation of ocular immunity: Exploring a sympathetic‐macrophage neuroimmune link in the human ciliary body

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Using microscopy and 3D confocal imaging on seven cadaveric eyes, we identified sympathetic nerves closely associated with β₂‐adrenergic receptor‐expressing macrophages in the human ciliary body (CB). These findings suggest a sympathetic‐macrophage neuroimmune link in the CB, potentially influencing ocular inflammation and degeneration, warranting ...

Cytomegalovirus retinitis occurring as a complication of HyperCVAD chemotherapy: Report of two cases

Indian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology, 2018
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is usually diagnosed in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. It produces a characteristic necrotizing retinitis which is a sight-threatening

Serological screening for cytomegalovirus in a leucodepleted blood supply: A systematic review

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes harm in at‐risk populations. Selection of seronegative donors has been used to prevent transmission. Leucodepletion reduces the potential for CMV transmission; however, the residual risk is uncertain, leading to variability in practice.
