Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB (short for tubercle bacillus), in the past also called phthisis, phthisis pulmonalis, or consumption, is a widespread, and in many cases fatal, infectious disease caused by...
Lacritin is a 12.3 kDa glycoprotein encoded in humans by the LACRT gene.[1][2] Lacritin's discovery emerged from an unbiased screen for novel factors that stimulate tear protein secretion.[2][3] La...

Transfection is the process of deliberately introducing nucleic acids into cells. The term is often used for non-viral methods in eukaryotic cells.[1] It may also refer to other methods and cell ty...
Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels.[1] This is distinct from vasculogenesis, which is the de novo formation of endothelial cell...
Anti-histone antibodies are autoantibodies that are found in 50%-70% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and in more than 95% of patients with drug-induced lupus erythematosus.[1] I...
Implantable medical devices
Diagnostic sonography (ultrasonography) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic imaging technique used for visualizing internal body structures including tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal or...
Extracting logical implications from relational data
The adenosine A2A receptor, also known as ADORA2A, is an adenosine receptor, but also denotes the human gene encoding it. This protein is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family w...
Sodium channel blockers are drugs which impair conduction of sodium ions (Na+) through sodium channels.
Direct vapor deposition
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI), or magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to investigate the anatomy and p...
Periodic cellular structure
A metal foam is a cellular structure consisting of a solid metal, frequently aluminium, as well as a large volume fraction of gas-filled pores. The pores can be sealed (closed-cell foam), or they c...
