Volume determination and predictive models in the management of cerebral arteriovenous malformations
(2000-05-26)
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) entail a high cumulative risk of severe neurological symptoms and are usually treated with surgery, radiosurgery, embolisation or combinations thereof. There are well supported ...
Mitochondria, contractility and Ca2+ handling : cardiac and skeletal muscle adaptations in health and disease
(2009-04-29)
Contractility is a fundamental feature of skeletal and cardiac muscles.
An indispensable step in the cellular signal for contraction is a
transient elevation in cytoplasmic free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i). Both the
production of ...
Mitochondrial dysfunction in dopamine neurons : implications for Parkinson’s disease
(2012-03-06)
Mitochondria are essential for cellular homeostasis and contain the respiratory chain (RC). Decreased mitochondrial function is associated with ageing, as exemplified by the finding of a mosaic pattern of RC-deficient cells ...
Molecular methods in malaria control in the era of pre-elimination
(2015-03-03)
Increased funding combined with effective malaria control methods for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, has resulted in a 30% reduction of the global malaria burden over the last decade. As malaria prevalence declines ...
Mechanisms underlying mitochondrial function and biogenesis : implications for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity
(2012-12-21)
The ample supply of food, in conjunction with a sedentary lifestyle and certain genetic risk factors contribute to the rise in obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Reduced mitochondrial capacity for ...
