The outcome of cochlear implantation depends on multiple variables including the underlying health of the cochlea.Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been shown to support spiral ganglion neurons and to improve implant function in animal models.Whether endogenous BDNF or BDNF-regulated proteins can be used as biomarkers to predict cochlear
The ongoing CYSTOFORCE COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in several opportunistic infections like mucormycosis (MCR) to surface.Although this is commonly afflicting immunocompromised people managed through prolonged ICU care, epidemiological observations suggest that it is also associated with conditions like uncontrolled diabetes.Due to its invasive
Noncoding RNAs control critical cellular processes, although their contribution to disease remains largely unexplored.Dyskerin associates with hundreds of H/ACA small RNAs to generate a multitude of functionally distinct ribonucleoproteins Normally Closed Thermal Cutout (RNPs).The DKC1 gene, encoding dyskerin, is mutated in the multisystem disorder
