FXIa variants lacking the anion-binding sites did not alter the effect of platelets on FXIa activity or interaction. Western blot analysis of bound FXIa [by FXIa-platelet membrane immunoprecipitation] showed that the interaction with platelets is zinc dependent and, unlike FXI binding to platelets, not dependent on glycoprotein Ib. FXIa binding to…[Read more]

The RNA extracted on day 01 and day 03 must be pooled together to be used in the RT-PCR. Second, we propose the inclusion of the control marker genes specific to nasal goblet cell, type-II pneumocyte and absorptive enterocytes to ensure the specificity of the RNA source. Overall, these additional steps in the proposed method would increase the…[Read more]

This narrative reviews the history of Urologic Oncology Seminars and Original Investigations from its inception and founding through its development to reach its current status. It describes the difficulties it experienced during its initial years when it almost folded, its resuscitation when it was designated as the “official journal” of the…[Read more]
