A low-cost and versatile system for projecting wide-field visual stimuli within fMRI scanners
We have constructed and tested a custom-made magnetic-imaging-compatible visual projection system designed to project on a very wide visual field (~80°). A standard projector was modified with a coupling lens,...

Open AccessCD55 is a HIF-2α marker with anti-adhesive and pro-invading properties in neuroblastoma
CD55 has been revealed to have an important role in tumor genesis, and presence of small populations of cells with strong CD55 expression would be sufficient to predict poor prognosis of several tumors. In our...

HAND1 gene expression is negatively regulated by the High Mobility Group A1 proteins and is drastically reduced in human thyroid carcinomas
HMGA1 proteins exert their major physiological function during embryonic development and play a critical role in neoplastic transformation. Here, we show that Hand1 gene, which codes for a transcription factor cr...

Extrarenal Effects of Hydrochlorothiazide in Hypercalciuric Stone Formers
The anticalciuric effect of thiazide diuretics is well known to be due to an increased Ca reabsorption by the distal tubule (l). However the maintenance of hypocalciuria cannot occur without a reduction of int...
