IMPLICATIONS OF ZONAL ARCHITECTURE ON DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING AND ALTERED PATHWAY EXPRESSIONS IN MANDIBULAR CONDYLAR CARTILAGE

Implications of zonal architecture on differential gene expression profiling and altered pathway expressions in mandibular condylar cartilage

Abstract Mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) is a multi-zonal heterogeneous fibrocartilage containing different types of cells, but the factors/mechanisms governing the phenotypic transition across the zones have not been fully understood.The reliability of molecular studies heavily rely on the procurement of pure cell populations from the heteroge

IgG4 related pericardium and lung disease in pediatric patient complicated with fatal massive hemoptysis: a case report and review of literature

Abstract Background IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a progressive and sometimes fatal disease that rarely affects pediatric age group.It may affect the orbits, lacrimal and salivary glands, pancreas, kidneys, peritoneum and other organs.Lung and pleura are not commonly reported in IgG4-RD.We here present a rare case of pediatric IgG4-RD with rare
