STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL APPROACHES TOWARD ACTIVITY RESTORATION OF NOVEL CYSTATHIONINE BETA-SYNTHASE MUTATIONS by AL-SADEQ, DUAA WALID

“…This reduced activity is consistent with both in vitro and in silico evidence, which indicates that the studied CBS mutations, except p.K72I, significantly decrease the overall protein's stability, which may represent the underlying cause of their pathogenicity. …”

Differences in the neovascular potential of thymus versus subcutaneous adipose-derived stem cells from patients with myocardial ischemia. by Oliva-Olivera, Wilfredo

“…Our aim was to examine the neovascular potential under hypoxic conditions of ASCs-derived from thymic (thymASCs) and subcutaneous (subASCs) AT from 39 subjects with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and of different ages who were undergoing coronary bypass surgery (CBS). We confirmed a significant decrease in the percentage of CD34+ CD31- CD45- subASCs in the cell yield of subASCs and in the survival of cultured endothelial cells in the medium conditioned by the hypox-subASCs with increasing patient age, which was not observed in thymASCs. …”
