FIGURE 2. Overview of kidney cell types. Abbreviations: PCT, proximal convoluted tubule; PST, Proximal straight tubule; DTL, descending thin limb of loop of Henle; ATL, ascending thin limb of loop of ...

DARPP-32 (PPP1R1B) was discovered as a substrate of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) enriched in dopamine-innervated brain areas. It is one of three related, PKA-regulated inhibitors of protein ...

Fluid, electrolyte and mineral perturbations are prevalent features of tropical disease. Hemodynamic alterations, fever, nitrogen wasting, and changes in membrane transport and acid–base balance ...

Acute limb ischemia (ALI) results from a sudden obstruction in the arterial flow to the extremity due to an embolism or thrombosis. Embolic problems result in a greater degree of ischemia than ...

Very few pieces have the ability to strike right to the core of our hearts. In The Lark Ascending, Vaughan Williams created a piece of music that can deeply transform the listener. Completed in 1914, ...

He then wrote “When the examiner squeezes both knees together or tries to pull them both apart, the (hysterical) patient often automatically braces the putatively paralysed limb against the action of ...

Current understanding of microvascular changes in chronic limb-threatening ischemia remains limited, partly because the tissue microvasculature is difficult to study in human patients.

We know definitively that the Standard Model is not the complete picture. Processes that involve a quantum loop of particles that exist for only a fleeting instant and then disappear again could help ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) nuclear fusion reactor maintained a steady, highly confined loop of plasma — the high-energy fourth state of matter — for 1,066 seconds ...
