Transposable Neomycin Phosphotransferases
Transposable genetic elements are discrete DNA segments with the capacity to move between independent DNA replicons within the cell. The recent discoveries that certain plasmid-borne genes, which confer resist...

Fludarabine phosphate and melphalan: a reduced intensity conditioning regimen suitable for allogeneic transplantation that maintains the graft versus malignancy effect
Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) for allogeneic stem cell transplantation allows stable donor cell engraftment with the maintenance of a graft versus malignancy effect. Many different regimens exist employ...

Open Access05.01 Can Wave Intensity Help Explain the Different Velocity Flow Profiles in the Coronary Arteries?
In the left coronary arteries, coronary flow is said to occur mainly in diastole, but this is not the case in the right coronary artery (RCA). Since the pressure being applied at the aortic end is identical fo...

Lemur tyrosine kinase-2 signalling regulates kinesin-1 light chain-2 phosphorylation and binding of Smad2 cargo
A recent genome-wide association study identified the gene encoding lemur tyrosine kinase-2 (LMTK2) as a susceptibility gene for prostate cancer. The identified genetic alteration is within intron 9, but the mech...

Open AccessP6.3 Moderate Intensity Exercise Aortic Reservoir Pressure Independently Predicts Left-Ventricular Mass Index: One-Year Prospective Study in Patients with Treated Hypertension
Moderate intensity exercise blood pressure (BP) is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The mechanisms of this association are unknown but may be due to central haemodynamic factors. This study sou...

Open AccessP3.7 Impedance Mismatching Between Central And Peripheral Arteries Fails To Explain Central Pressure Augmentation: Aortic Reservoir Characteristics May Be The Prevailing Factor
It is suggested that central augmented pressure (AP) and augmentation index (AIx) are due to wave reflection from peripheral to central arterial impedance mismatching. Comparatively stiffened peripheral vascul...
