Quality of Life of People With Neuromuscular Diseases: The Role of Stigma
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Stigma is thought to have a profound impact on quality of life (QoL) among people with neuromuscular diseases (NMD), but empirical evidence is limited. This study sought to explore associations of enacted stigma (social exclusion) and felt stigma (shame, fear of exclusion) with QoL.

ABSTRACT Aim Podocytes, highly specialized epithelial cells located in the glomerulus of the kidney, are essential to the filtration barrier that ensures separation of blood and urine. These cells exhibit a unique architecture, characterized by an intricate network of foot processes interconnected by slit diaphragms, which serve as a critical selective

Diversity of U1 Small Nuclear RNAs and Diagnostic Methods for Their Mutations
Complex interindividual U1 snRNA diversity was unveiled. Mutations in such complex loci were precisely detected with a pangenome graph reference, which enhances the possibility of the human pangenome reference in cancer genomics. ABSTRACT U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) mutations are recurrent non‐coding alterations found in various malignancies, yet ...
