Non-cancer disease mortality and risk analysis among medical X-ray workers in China
The non-cancer disease mortality (1950-1995) among 27 011 medical diagnostic X-ray workers was compared to that of 25 782 other medical specialists employed between 1950 and 1980 to provide evidence of human non-cancer disease death produced by protracted and fractionated exposure to ionising radiation and assess the resultant non-cancer disease death risk. The total non-cancer disease mortality ...

The first CRISPR gene editing of vascular endothelium was made possible thanks to nanoparticles
The vascular endothelium is a single layer of endothelial cells that lines the surface of the vascular lumen, and it plays an important role in maintaining vascular homeostasis and tissue fluid balance. Many disorders, such as coronary artery disease, stroke, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and pulmonary hypertension, are caused by endothelial dysfunction. Genome editing in endothelial cells can also ...

Efficacy and Detection of Ceramide
Ceramides are composed of sphingosine analogs and long-chain fatty acids bound by amide bonds, and are the most important of the sphingolipid compounds. Ceramide is synthesized and secreted by lamellar vesicles, which together with cholesterol (25%) and free fatty acids (15%) constitute the intercellular lipids (ceramide 50%) involved in maintaining the skin barrier function. It also has various ...
