THE MITOCHONDRIAL T16189C POLYMORPHISM IS ASSOCIATED WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN MIDDLE EUROPEAN POPULATIONS.

The mitochondrial T16189C polymorphism is associated with coronary artery disease in Middle European populations.

BackgroundThe pivotal role of mitochondria in energy production and free radical generation suggests that the mitochondrial genome could have an important influence on the expression of multifactorial age related diseases.Substitution of T to C at nucleotide position 16189 in the hypervariable D-loop of the control region (CR) of mitochondrial DNA

Ehmt2 inactivation in pancreatic epithelial cells shapes the transcriptional landscape and inflammation response of the whole pancreas

Introduction: The Euchromatic Histone Methyl Transferase Protein 2 (EHMT2), also known as G9a, deposits cassis crista transcriptionally repressive chromatin marks that play pivotal roles in the maturation and homeostasis of multiple organs.Recently, we have shown that Ehmt2 inactivation in the mouse pancreas alters growth and immune gene expression

Automatic Distortion Rectification of Wide-Angle Images Using Outlier Refinement for Streamlining Vision Tasks

The study proposes an outlier refinement methodology for automatic distortion rectification of wide-angle and fish-eye lens camera models in the context of streamlining vision-based tasks.The line-members sets are estimated in a scene through accumulation of line candidates emerging from the same edge source.An iterative optimization with an outlie
