We report a novel method of engineering a highly effective collagen-cell scaffold based on RGD+ peptides cross-linked to a clinically approved collagen matrix. The main advantages were cell contractile performance, cardiomyocyte viability and differentiation.
We have reported two patients with iodide organification defect caused by two compound heterozygous mutations, c.215delA/c.2422T-->C [p.Q72fsX86/p.C808R] and c.387delC/c.1159G-->A [p.N129fsX208/p.G387R], in the TPO gene and four patients with monoallelic TPO defect. Identification of the molecular basis of this disorder might be helpful for understanding the pathophysiology of congenital hypothyroidism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
