The switch of neural stem and progenitor cells from proliferation to differentiation during
development is a crucial determinant of brain size. This switch is intimately linked to the …

Background Despite the significant societal burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)–associated
cancers, clinical screening interventions for HPV‐associated noncervical cancers are …

Methylmalonic acidurias are biochemically characterized by an accumulation of methylmalonate
(MMA) and alternative metabolites. There is growing evidence for basal ganglia …

Basal (intermediate) progenitors are the major source of neurons in the mammalian neocortex.
The molecular machinery governing basal progenitor biogenesis is unknown. Here, we …

Development of midbrain dopaminergic neurons is known to depend on inductive signals
derived from the ventral midline, including Sonic hedgehog (Shh) as one of the identified …

PURPOSE: To our knowledge despite numerous studies the biological effect of extracorporeal
shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL, Dornier Medical Systems, Inc., Marietta, Georgia) on the …

Impaired neuronal survival is a key event in the development of degenerative diseases,
such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we show that transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) …

Many pathology laboratories have developed specific screening protocols to detect patients
with Lynch syndrome. With recent recommendations to test all patients with newly …

690 patients were treated for testicular tumour in the course of 18 years. The histology of 7
cases showed Leydig cell tumour. In 4 of the 7 cases, a metastatic process leading to death …
