Liebl.) to counteracting effects of fostering and interfering changes under contrasting climatic conditions with special attent

Abstract Molecular diagnostics is an increasingly important clinical tool, Low Density especially in routine sampling.We evaluated two non-invasive methods (oral swabs and mouthwashes) for sampling nucleic acids from the oral/pharyngeal area.We created a workflow from sample collection (n = 59) to RT-qPCR based analysis.The samples were further cha
Mutations of the gene coding for calreticulin (CALR) that cause the loss of the C-terminal KDEL motif abolish its retention in the endoplasmic reticulum and cause CALR to be secreted from cells.Specific CALR mutants bearing a novel C-terminus can precipitate the manifestation of myeloproliferative diseases via the autocrine activation of the thromb
