Median nerve evaluation by shear wave elastosonography: impact of “bone-proximity” hardening artifacts and inter-observer agreement
Peripheral nerves frequently travel close to the bone surface and are, therefore, prone to elastosonographic “bone-proximity” hardening artifacts. The impact of these artifacts on quantitative measurements of ...

Open AccessLung Cancer Onset in Wild Type Mice Following Bone Marrow Reconstitution with krasv12 Cells
A role for bone-marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) in tissue repair and malignancy onset has been proposed, but their contribution is still debated. We tested the ability of BMDCs containing the inducible krasV12 oncog...

FISH analysis of hematological neoplasias with 1p36 rearrangements allows the definition of a cluster of 2.5 Mb included in the minimal region deleted in 1p36 deletion syndrome
Rearrangements in the distal region of the short arm of chromosome 1 are recurrent aberrations in a broad spectrum of human neoplasias. However, neither the location of the breakpoints (BP) on 1p36 nor the can...
