Quantifying the human vaginal community state types (CSTs) with the species specificity index. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The five community state types (CSTs) first identified by Ravel et al. (2011) offered a powerful scheme to classify the states of human vaginal microbial communities (HVMC).

Human Growth and Growth Hormone: From Antiquity to the Recominant Age to the Future
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Since antiquity Man has been fascinated by the variations in human (and animal) growth. Stories and art abound about giants and little people. Modern genetics have solved some of etiologies at both extremes of growth.

Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis D Virus Entry, Species Specificity, and Tissue Tropism. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harb Perspect Med, 2015 Entry of hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis D viruses (HDV) into a host cell represents the initial step of infection. This process requires multiple steps, including the low-affinity attachment of the virus to the cell surface, followed by high-affinity ...
