Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a group of hereditary recessive disorder recognized as a loss of pigmentation. OCA can derive from mutations in different genes that produce melanin. These mutations cause disturbances to get a standard... more
A “right to withdraw” from research participation is an important mechanism for ensuring voluntariness and respecting participant autonomy throughout a study. This right often is expressed as an absolute, dictating that a participant can... more
Proper blood vessel networks are necessary for constructing and re-constructing tissues, promoting wound healing, and delivering metabolic necessities throughout the body. Conversely, an understanding of vascular dysfunction has provided... more
The discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in 2006 has inspired almost all areas of the life sciences. In the first report about iPSCs from Takahashi & Yamanaka, terminally differentiated cells (adult skin fibroblasts) were... more
Hemophilia A is a hemorrhage disorder inherited according to the X-linked inheritance pattern. It affects about 1 in 4,000 to 10,000 males. Permanent changes in the F8 gene result in hemophilia A. These changes result in an abnormal... more
This article attempts to elucidate how moral complicity arguments of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) research imply for the research in Japan. After the first chapter describes the background and purpose of this article, the... more
С появлением революционной технологии перепрограммирования соматических клеток в омоложенные стволовые клетки, называемые индуцированными стволовыми клетками (ИПСК), человечество, казалось бы, получило фонтан вечной молодости и... more
Liver transplantation remains the only solution for patients suffering from severe end-stage liver disease. Only 33% of these patients on the transplant waiting list will receive a donation; furthermore, the demand for livers is expected... more
Production of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived lung progenitors has broad applicability for drug screening and cell therapy; however, this is complicated by limitations in demarcating phenotypic changes with functional validation... more
Blood transfusions are routinely done in every medical regimen and a worldwide established collection, processing/storage centers provide their services for the same. There have been extreme global demands for both raising the current... more
