Organoids as host models for infection biology – a review of methods
Aguilar, C; Silva, MA; Saraiva, M; Neyazi, M; Olsson, IAS; Bartfeld, SInfectious diseases are a major threat worldwide. With the alarming rise of antimicrobial resistance and emergence of new potential pathogens, a better understanding of the infection process is urgently needed. Over the last century, the development of in vitro and in vivo models has led to remarkable contributions to the current knowledge in the field of infection biology. However, applying recent advances in ...
Unraveling the effect of silent, intronic and missense mutations on VWF splicin...
Borràs, N; Orriols, G; Batlle, J; Pérez-Rodríguez, A; Fidalgo, T; Martinho, P; López-Fernández, MF; Rodríguez-Trillo, Á; Lourés, E; Parra, RLarge studies in von Willebrand disease patients, including Spanish and Portuguese registries, led to identification of >250 different mutations. It is a challenge to determine the pathogenic effect of potential splice site mutations on VWF mRNA. This study aimed to elucidate the true effects of 18 mutations on VWF mRNA processing, investigate the contribution of next-generation sequencing to in vivo mRNA study...
