Risk stratification in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: fact or fiction?

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited cardiac muscle disease that affects sarcomeric proteins, resulting in severe hypertrophy, myofibrillar disorganization, and enhanced interstitial fibrosis. The disease is often familial, with autosomal-dominant transmission. More than 100 different mutations in 10 genes that encode sarcomeric proteins have been described (1–3). Hypertrophy typic...

Sonofusion – Fact or Fiction?

Sonoluminescence and Sonofusion phenomena may occur when vapor bubbles implode. This paper reviews the status of our understanding of the bubble dynamics involved in these interesting phenomena. In particular, the experimental and analytical evidence supporting the observed production of neutrons and tritium due to thermonuclear fusion within imploding bubble clusters is reviewed. Moreover, pot...

NFRs : Fact or Fiction ?

Fact or fiction

Many previous studies have aimed at spermatogenesis of male murine germ cells in vitro, but no efficient system has been established yet that covers the entire process of mammalian spermatogenesis in a culture dish permanently. In this review, we report on the requirements of spermatogenesis and the current state of different culture methods using testicular tissue fragments, single cell suspen...
