The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the human body. It originates in the heart and carries oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body. The most common disease of the aorta that requires treatment [...] by it reflexively. The silk is extremely thin and tear-resistant and completely degradable in the human body. Using a special apparatus that assistant physician Dr Helms constructed himself, the thread
"We have successfully tested the efficacy of our RNAi candidates on human lung tissue sections as well as in 3D cell cultures from human lung epithelium," explains Professor Dr. Armin Braun, Head of Preclinical
treated for six months a total of five times with mesenchymal stem cell products obtained from a human umbilical cord. "The treatment led to a significant improvement in growth, exercise tolerance and [...] stem cell therapy is based on cells from the umbilical cord of newborns and is also called HUCMSC (human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell). The researchers' analyses showed that the products of these

In this disease [...] laboratory, the MYGDF level dropped to normal. Pressure overload thus also leads to MYDGF release in humans. The work shows that the positive aspects of inflammation must be considered when thinking about

where mutations in the C-mannosyltransferase gene lead to a temperature-sensitive DumPY phenotype. In humans there are four homologs of DPY-19, which are called DPY19L1, DPY19L2, DPY19L3, and DPY19L4.
