S5 What about mitochondrial biopsy?

What Can Mitochondrial DNA Analysis Tell Us About Mood Disorders?

Variants in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins in bipolar disorder, depression, or other psychiatric disorders have been studied for decades, since mitochondrial dysfunction was first suggested in the brains of patients with these diseases. Candidate gene association studies initially resulted in findings compatible with the mitochondrial dysfunction hyp...

Concerns about renal mass biopsy.

I read with great interest the case report by Abourbih and colleagues.1 In few last decades, the diagnosis of small renal masses (SRMs) has increased due to the routine use of imaging modalities.2 Small renal masses represent 48% to 66% of all renal cell carcinomas and only 1% of them will spread to distant metastasis.3 There is a need to biopsy SRMs to distinguish their behavior by radiologic ...

dialysis-cryoprotected crystals were flash-cooled [1], using a nitrogen stream at about 105K. Using our in-house X-ray equipment for the vault crystals, we can observe diffraction strength, but we cannot collect diffraction data. In-house, the best of the C2 form crystals resulted in articulated but unresolved diffraction lunes. Only a few percent of the tested vault crystals have produced usea...
