Stochastic and deterministic approaches to modelling calcium release in cardiac myocytes at different spatial arrangements of ryanodine receptorsAbstract Calcium release sites (CRSs) play a key role in excitation–contraction coupling of cardiac myocytes. Recent studies based on electron tomography and super-resolution imaging revealed that CRSs are not completely filled with ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and that the spatial arrangement of RyRs is neither uniform nor static. In this work, we studied...

Laparoscopic bilateral cervicosacropexy: introduction to a new tunneling techniqueAbstractIntroduction and hypothesisTo elevate and suspend the apical end of the vagina, the uterosacral ligaments (USL) were replaced by polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) structures. These PVDF structures were placed in the peritoneal folds of the USL at the pelvic wall to mimic the lateral and backward tension and to avoid rectal obstruction. A special tunneling device was used, which allowed the semi-circular placement...

Triticum aestivum ssp. vulgare and ssp. spelta cultivars: 2. Bread-making optimisationAbstractIn this study, we analysed the bread quality parameters of five bread-making flour from single cultivars, namely two spelt wheats ('Espelta Álava' and 'Espelta Navarra') and three bread wheats ('Bonpain', 'Craklin' and 'Sensas'). The grain from the five cultivars, all grown in an organic system, had been milled using the same procedure. Given that bread-making value of flour is closely linked to the dough...

Patterns of immune-cell infiltration in murine models of melanoma: roles of antigen and tissue site in creating inflamed tumorsAbstractImmune-cell infiltration is associated with improved survival in melanoma. Human melanoma metastases may be grouped into immunotypes representing patterns of immune-cell infiltration: A (sparse), B (perivascular cuffing), and C (diffuse). Immunotypes have not been defined for murine melanomas, but may provide opportunities to understand mechanism-driving immunotype...
Evolution of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy: current status and future perspectivesAbstractEngineering T cells with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that reprograms their antigen selectivity and signaling has recently emerged as one of the most promising therapeutic approaches for treating cancers. For example, two CD19-specific CAR T cell (CAR-T) therapies have shown remarkable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell cancers, and were approved by the US Food and Drug...

Aortic RegurgitationAbstractPurpose of ReviewAortic regurgitation (AR) is a common form of valvular disease which is characterized by reflux of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle (LV) during diastole. AR results from various etiologies, affecting the aortic valve cusps or the aortic root. The clinical presentation of patients with AR depends on the severity of the regurgitation and differs whether AR develops acutely or if it progresses over a prolonged period, allowing the cardiac chambers...
Left Atrial Occlusion Device Implantation: the Role of the EchocardiographerAbstractPurpose of ReviewAtrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia worldwide and is a major risk factor for embolic stroke.

Mental imagery in animals: Learning, memory, and decision-making in the face of missing informationAbstractWhen we open our eyes, we see a world filled with objects and events. Yet, due to occlusion of some objects by others, we only have partial perceptual access to the events that transpire around us. I discuss the body of research on mental imagery in animals. I first cover prior studies of mental rotation in pigeons and imagery using working memory procedures first developed for human studies....
