RNAscope 2.0 Assay

Although invasive cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is uncommon in the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART), asymptomatic CMV coinfection is nearly ubiquitous in HIV infected individuals.

The aim of the study was to investigate the expression of erythropoietin and neuroendocrine markers in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and re-evaluated histopathological specimens of 33 patients with CCRCC and compared with those of 11 cases of non-CCRCC. All patients were treated with a partial or radical nephrectomy at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim University Hospital, between 2010 and 2016.

Abstract

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of severe renal disease, and few treatment options are available today that prevent the progressive loss of renal function. DKD is characterized by altered glomerular filtration and proteinuria. A common observation in DKD is the presence of renal steatosis, but the mechanism(s) underlying this observation and to what extent they contribute to disease progression are unknown.

Abstract

Secreted metalloproteases have diverse roles in the formation, remodeling, and the destruction of extracellular matrix.

It is well-known that bone remodeling starts with a resorption event and ends with bone formation. However, what happens in between and how resorption and formation are coupled remains mostly unknown. Remodeling is achieved by so-called basic multicellular units (BMUs), which are local teams of osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and reversal cells recently proven identical with osteoprogenitors. Their organization within a BMU cannot be appropriately analyzed in common histology.
