Summary: Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channels embedded in the cell membrane that are critical in maintaining water homeostasis.We describe a protocol for screenprotector determining the water permeation capacity of AQPs reconstituted into proteoliposomes.Using a stopped-flow setup, AQP embedded in proteoliposomes are exposed to an osmogenic gradien
Background: shoulder instability is a common desease, affecting mainly young patients, before surgery measures of anterior glenoid bone loss is crucial to define surgical treatment modality in each patient.Objective: this review aims to provide a method to measure anterior glenoid bone loss in patients suffering from unstable shoulders.Methods: a f
An understanding of the immunological footprint of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) Cushion and Cushion Covers CD4 T cell recognition is still incomplete.Here we report that human Th1 cells specific for MTB are largely contained in a CXCR3(+)CCR6(+) memory subset and highly focused on three broadly immunodominant antigenic islands, all related to b
Malignant pancreatic tumors have early metastasis, aggressive behavior and poor prognosis.Surgeons often need to judge whether a patient needs prompt surgery when a pancreatic lesion is found.The accessory spleen is a congenital developmental malformation rather than a tumor and does not require surgical Hanging Rail resection.Here, we report a 47-
