CLINICAL DIFFERENTIAL FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH HEREDITARY TRANSTHYRETIN AMYLOIDOSIS WITH VAL142ILE AND SER43ASN MUTATIONS

Clinical differential factors in patients with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with Val142Ile and Ser43Asn mutations

Abstract Background Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR) is a rare autosomal dominant disease with high clinical variability, influenced by both genotype and the geographic origins of carriers.There is a limited understanding of the Val142Ile and Ser43Asn recognised mutations in Ecuador and Colombia.Therefore, the objective of this study is

Clozapine Reverses Dysfunction of Glutamatergic Neurons Derived From Clozapine-Responsive Schizophrenia Patients

The cellular pathology of schizophrenia and the potential of antipsychotics to target underlying neuronal dysfunctions are still largely unknown.We employed glutamatergic neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) obtained from schizophrenia patients with known histories of response to clozapine and healthy controls to decipher the

Differences in Urban Development in China from the Perspective of Point of Interest Spatial Co-Occurrence Patterns

An imbalance in urban development in China has become a contradiction.Points of Interest (POIs) serve as representations of the spatial distribution of urban functions.Analyzing POI spatial co-occurrence patterns can reveal the agglomeration patterns of urban functions across cities at different levels, providing insights into imbalances in urban d

Using Copper-Doped Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanospheres to Impart Anti-Bacterial Properties to Dental Composites

Experimental dental resin composites containing copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanospheres (Cu-MBGN) were developed to impart anti-bacterial properties.Increasing amounts of Cu-MBGN (0, 1, 5 and 10 wt%) were added to the BisGMA/TEGDMA resin matrix containing micro- and nano-fillers of inert glass, keeping the resin/filler ratio constant.Su
