Computational exploration of human genome variation
(2004-09-03)
In studies of human genome variation, researchers attempt to identify the DNA sequence differences between our genomes that contribute substantially to variation that can be observed on a physical level (phenotype). Genetic ...

(2006-03-03)
Postoperative pain and swelling of the knee is a general finding after arthroscopy. In order to optimize and individualize the treatment it is of great importance to increase basic knowledge of perioperative local biochemical ...

, the baby girl was delivered by cesarean section. At nine months of age a centromeric XY-specific probe revealed 0.3% of XY-positive cells in a bone marrow biopsy. Whole Y genome FISH staining showed a median of 7.4% Y-positive cells. Patient lymphocyte...
On the role of dendritic cells in HIV-1 infection
(2004-11-26)
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells with the capacity to initiate primary T cell responses against pathogens such as HIV-1. In addition, DCs express the receptors required for HIV-1 infection and as DCs are ...
