The multivariate model identified the stent length, MEI, and renal insufficiency/failure as the independent predictors of TLR and the value of the MEI was the only predictor in the OCT findings. The new OCT-derived volumetric method for stent expansion is superior to the conventional method for predicting the TLR at 1 year. The MEI may be the most…[Read more]

These data reveal essential roles for HDAC1/2 in maintaining proliferation and survival of adult epidermal and basal cell carcinoma progenitors and suggest efficacy of therapeutic HDAC1/2 inhibition will depend in part on the mutational status of p53 and p16.Patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), which are at high risk of infection by…[Read more]

Tissue engineering utilizes an interdisciplinary approach to generate constructs for the treatment and repair of diseased organs. Generation of small vessels as vascular grafts or as envisioned central vessel for vascularized constructs is still a challenge. Here, the decellularization of porcine vessels by a non-detergent based protocol was…[Read more]
